For those who need to wind their season down gradually rather than stop cold turkey after Lombardia there might be some excellent opportunities for therapeutic race-watching today.
On the road there is the Tour de Vendée in the heartland of French cycling. This will be broadcast in France but it's unclear if there will be video elsewhere. If not you can watch the course animation here. It's like the TdF one, on a budget. Live video should start at 16:35 CEST (10:35 US eastern). Check Cyclingfans for possible links. Startlist here
For those with a mud-fetish there's the Cyclocross World Cup in Treviso. CTV has this in their UCI and Gold packages if you subscribe to those........ unless you live in the US that is, in which case you're screwed. The women's race starts at 13:20 CEST (07:20 US eastern) and the men's at 15:20 CEST.
Who knows, there might be one of those free feeds that we hate so much available?

Germany has a wonderful summer but falls and winters tend to be just what you’d expect in this region, windy and cold. Most people develop a taste for drier wines the more they drink wine, so it’s not a surprise. If you get the chance, try a Dornfelder Rotling, feinherb style. Semi-sweet and smooth as butter. The problem is, you might wind up drinking too much.

France 3 link at cyclingfans/my p2p live
"Look at the speed he's turning the pedals.. Cancellara is within sight of Gustav Eric Larsson at 16km.. Cancellara goes past as the crowd goes bonkers. I'm going to stand up to see how fast he's going...Man, Oh Man, That Man Can Fly....I don't know what size chainring is on there but it looks like a dinner plate. 52.178km/h. Wow. You've got to hand it to him" Dave Harmon

And Brutt takes it after riding off the front for a few k
Nicely done.

The French commentators just kept repeating "C'est dur! C'est dur!"..
while they were showing him bent over his bike, mouth hanging open, on the absolute limit. The kind of thing to warm the Gallic soul, no doubt.

Couldn't work out why other teams with 2+ riders weren't chasing him down
Until saw Bothcarov, Ivanov (and Trussov?) in the group of 16 also – makes sense now! Well played Katusha – great time trial Brutt.

I believe that it was majope who shared with us a pic of Tony from Beijing, which proved that sometimes colour doesn’t matter…

Why do the two on the right not have the golden rings around their crotches...?

Vuelta a Chihuahua
This is not a case of “Name the rider who doesn’t belong among the other”, it’s the result from the first stage, a 4 km mountain TT.
1. Michael Rasmussen
2. Daniel Moreno
3. Oscar Sevilla
4. Fransisco MAncebo
