Hello.
There’s a cross stream too for those of you with muddy inclinations ;-)
"If I were World Road Race Champion, I would wear black shorts. That probably has more to do with me being on the wiser side of 30 and understanding better that the decisions I make now never really go away. White shorts would not be something I'd be proud of...." - David Millar, in Rouleur.
Oh of course
It’s at an unacceptable hour on a Sunday night / Monday morning, and there’s a live stream :-(. Naturally. Just to taunt Lou, who has a challenging day at work on the horizon, and cannot be staying up late :-(.
Ah, it’s OK… we already know who the winner will be ;-).
I'm still trying to work out what's going on...
but PG has had three, so I wonder if tiredness mightn’t prevent a fourth so soon?

I'm on the same page now ;)

Anybody actually getting the video?
It seems like it might be loading, but it’s taking a long time, and CyclingFans says it buffers a lot.
Mine doesn't work. Bah.

I think I'm getting it live. Still a while til the Elite Mens?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Thanks... that's what I mean about 'think' :(
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
That makes a sort of sense..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
My feed has a 'bubbly' audio, but it's Grivko :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
A lot of men standing round chatting, not much racing
Are they only showing the starts?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
That is confusing, they don't show them.
I don’t understand French so I have no idea what the times are
I have jumpy video now

Last question and I'm sorry to ask, but how long is the course?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Thanks Bruce
Negotiating my way round the site has been a challenge.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Phew. That was my problem too
but given my limited computer skills I was thinking it was me.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'm apologising ahead of time
but I hope he wins.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I'm only up to Monfort. Is that right?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
My video has gone...I only have a screen of logos!

That seems to happen randomly
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I think the logos are just the empty podium. That's why I guessed no cameras on the course.
Nothing else to show if all they’ve got is cameras at start and finish, and no one is currently starting or finishing.
Voeckler in the house?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
He was lurking... but Gilbert has taken off
Fashion observation: I love Voeckler’s black booties, although they don’t particularly go with his kit ;)

Looks like your feed is behind, Vino started a while ago

I just don't get it. Are TV feeds hemispherist too?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Yeah, that can happen if the feed stops and starts.
I would recommend she stop it and restart to catch up, but with this feed there’s no guarantee it would restart.
would be helpful if we saw the times...

They keep reading off a list of times, but they're all in the 32 minute range
so perhaps intermediate times?
Wait—as I was writing that, they started listing times over an hour. Will try to listen harder next time.
I'm on podium ceremonies :(
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
How many left on the course?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
On mine there are assorted spectators doing nothing :(
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Olivier Kaisen just finished, in 1:05:01 or thereabouts.
Not a podium time, but I’m damned if I know exactly where he is.
Behind whom?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
You're doing brilliantly
My feed has just started reloading of its own accord. I’m not hopeful..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I've put up with some choppy feeds etc without much whinging
but I’m increasingly irritated by the milling crowds. Ridiculous..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Ah, the glorious uncertainty..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
By the time I've figured out they're reading results, I've missed part of it!
Terrible high school French.
I was watching this but have become distracted by the gymnastics.
Now I have no clue what’s going on!

That's ok..we don't either and my feed is gone

Britain have won another medal...miracle
She may even win…..but I’m not counting my chickens

You understand I have no idea who 'she' is :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
British gymnast...Beth Tweddle

Yep!!
And she’s won!

Imagine our surprise ;)
but nice booties…
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
You heard it first from me
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Given the field and I suspect Gilbert's fatigue, it's not surprising
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Hats off to him for racing again today... a real road warrior!
Thanks for updates. It was very helpful.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I know it's not a popular win but Vino has at least been out competing not whinging
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Not even vaguely defensive, but surprised at my goodwill towards him
Shorthand is not always my strength
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Longo won the women's race
She’s 51 years young next week.

VINOOOO!
YESSSS! GO YOU GOOD THING!
I knew you’d do me proud today. (er, last night? Yesterday?). I can’t wait for next season :-).
And well done, Seahorse…I might have to have a chat with the Frinkster about possible toy snow leopards ;-)
It was fun
And Majope and Bruce are kind ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
crap...
i’m lame and didn’t see this thread and posted another one…i’m a dumbass.
You're not the first and you won't be the last
Just for the record, I think he was riding clean, but generally it’s not good to speculate. Best left to the experts, even if they seem fallible ;)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
No, I'm *glad* that you took it outside ;-)
And now I’m gonna try to excercise great self restraint, and stay clear of it :-)
