It's 3:42pm and there's no live thread yet, so here we go....
No coverage on c.tv for me yet; anyone else got it? It was supposed to start at 3:30, and after the Innertube news finished….just a black screen is all I’ve got.
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
Try the tour tracker
http://tracker.amgentourofcalifornia.com/ it’s still silent (here at least) but I’ve got piccies.
Some sound now
One Two this is Phil
Is this working
Shall we turn it down?
I wonder if the tour tracker has their voice feeds feeds crossed with Versus
I only hear paul and phil talking (not live yet)
Cycling TV not working in spite of a number of tries
- on to plan C – VERSUS
Must be
I was expecting to hear Frankie Andreu and Joe Silva.
Don't tell them please
We’re off very quickly so I don’t want you guys pissing around
The first hour is shit
Lots of heavy breathing from Paul
It's working! Svein Tuft on the road! And the sun is shining.

34 staples in the back of my head but I feel like a ride today

wouldn't miss it for the world...looking forward to hearing from you :-)
errrr....am i supposed to sign this??
Svein in at ?? no time given.
Huge crowds all along the course, excellent to see. Maggy talking about how nice the Specialized TT rig is.

Morning!
Urgh. Coffee, I think. And food. Might help. Maybe.
Well Tony’d better kick arse today – I’ve passed over a couple of hours of Sunday-rates overtime to watch him do it! (no internet at work… bastards)
Let's go Fabu
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.
George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950
Rollin on the course. He's one big guy, for sure.
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
Time to crack open that Stella, I'm thinking. Cheers, everybody!
Watch for Dan, he says he’s going to be hanging around the finish (hopefully with a big PdC sign! :-))
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
Can't get CTV to work
It told me I had to download something, I did, and it still didn’t work. That’s okay, Versus is starting now.
Google is my domestique.
Huh?
I thought I’d put on Eurostar audio instead but they’re covering some luge race in Canada! Not helpful!
wish vs would live stream
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I had my tour tracker playing for 1/2 hour now,
what I just did was close it and open a new one – LIVE ! ! !
thanks Willj
Cav is wearing white bibs
thats why he nearly fell off
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.
George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950
I'm going to tell him
Hope Adam has taken notice of what i told him :-)
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

CTV in France
Anyone having trouble with CTV in France…says not available in my country
eurosport should have it
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Not yet
they will be starting in an hour or so. May or may not be live.
no it's on now
watching it channel 410 on sky (the HD starts in an hour)
formerly known as cyclingchallenge
That must be a British Eurosport thing
German ES has luge on and French is meant to be showing the same stuff.
Lance rode the course and twittered that
its “Pretty straight fwd. Will be won and lost between .5k and 3k. All headwind there.”
Excellent effort! Yeah.

Mick rogers
showed his new TT on twitter yesterday, anyone see?
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Yup, I'm a commuter b/n MN and WI.
I have the best of both worlds. :-) But it’s cold in both places, yet. Brrrrrrrr. Nice to see the CA sunshine today, let me tell you!

Chilly. Little snow this morning but not all that bad for Feb. :-)

Have some friends all on board to sign it. :-)

You are in charge of dropping these in!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I have been hitting refresh
waiting this to hit the main page…..
Better late than never, especially since my time machine is not working yet…
Hey wait.
I even volunteered to help with the book signing for the little boy. Surely that helps right?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
That Santa took as a very serious +
, you’ll get buried with gifts come Christmas, assuming you stay nice that is. Looks very good for you, gotta say!
LOL. It's just the start of good deeds. Promise. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Now Nikki, tell the truth. You know what they say about Santa being so jolly....it's because
he knows where all the bad girls live. :-)

We are all good girls here Nikki!!

I am really liking the Cervelo kit: that "e" wtih the accent on the sleeves is very cool.
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
Hi everyone!
I’m giving up. The tourtracker works great but I just have too crappy bandwidth. Too frustrating to watch especially since Thor will win it . Have fun all!
Bummer Jens. Can we send good vibes your way to try and help?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
LOL. Sorry. Can Santa help. I mean really. ha ha
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
'Bye, Jens. What a bummer.
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
Any questions for Maggie?
I’ll post them over there.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Looks like TT Columbia - White Bibs- Noooo
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.
George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950
Frankie Andreu now interviewing Sooty
Is it right to find cancer funny
She was more interesting
when her microphone didn’t work
Brian reporting that Garmin's Tom Peterson missed his start time??
Is that what he said?
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
That's what he said.
Isn’t it Martin? and Maggie?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Yes. Oops. STELLA!!!!
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
(blushes) Well, I don't know; there are others here more deserving of the
sobriquet. Besides, I have bad memories of last year’s Giro, when Chris would post Brando screaming “Stella!” everytime Sella attacked. Too many bad memories, I’m thinking… :-)
"It's official. For the next four years, it will be pronounced 'nuclear' " --Seth Meyers
Just opened up my bottle of Adesso. Yummy.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Italian red wine. One of my favorites. Order it in as I've yet to find a place that carries it here.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Full name on bottle...
Adesso… Cagnina Di Romagna
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Just had Bacon and egg breakfast, love sunday mornings!!
Riding will be this afternoon, once it cools down
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Just did 25 miles on Rock Creek Park...
and now I get to drink Circus Boy- The Hefeweizen.
I knew Jack Hoegaarden. It’s no Jack Hoegaarden.
Racing for Victory and Free Beer!
Geez i was imagining something so different hehehe
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

Smiling.
If I was only watching Versus I’d be annoyed already with all the commercials. Cheers for ctv showing all of the riders. Too bad we couldn’t get Maggie to say weeeeeeee. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
And it's now confirmed:
OUCH does not have a big Band-Aid on their butts. I’m disappointed.

What's up with that name
OUCH? Expect to crash a lot?
