Year in Review..the Video!

Got a half hour to splurge on cycling video? Don't mind a litte Dutch in your ear? Go here (part 1) and here (part 2) for the Sporza wielerjaar in review. Belgian cycling video highlights... so unthinkable that we could watch this sort of thing, only a few years ago. Yay!

Tom Waits FTW

I don’t understand Flemish, but I do understand Tom Waits. Fascinating choices of music here…

fwiw, universal sports updated their website, and all the cycling videos are gone, except for the highlight clips

plus, universal sports is now using msnbc’s silverlight version 3.0 (and the beta player at that), and silverlight don’t work in chrome.

just thought you’d all like to know.

I love how they portrayed the Giro

Cav, Gilbert, and Menchov’s crash. Oh belgium, how I love thee.

And apparently

Bruyneel/Lance boycotting Sporza in the Tour was more memorable than AC winning judging by the time spent on each subject. :-)

Haven't gotten to the second part yet, but I'm not surprised.

Still some great video coverage I haven’t seen yet. I’m cursing myself for not being familiar with sporza until this summer.

I'd suggest

a scheduled live simulcast …. more fun watching as a group ;)

We would have translators

for all us non-dutch speakers. That would be nice.

I always think Belgium are objective.. I always end up deceived

So I thought it wasn't worth rewatching. I'm sorry Sporza..

But how long did we see Menchov in the Giro? And how long Seeldrayers? Ah well.. It’s for Belgians.. Can’t blame them… I think

At an hour convenient to Aussies...

… for once! Say… 19:00 EDT? That’s 9am for you, Will. For the US folks… well, just remember that we go through it for virtually every race ;-)

This would be great fun...

Do you think Fringlish will be mandatory?

You no longer need to be here for Fringlish to be spoken...

It’s seeped into our collective psyche.
