Milano - Sanremo ... LIVE!

By no later than 7am PST we should be gathered around live video feeds for the year's first monument. [RAI on at 6:50, Cycling.TV 6:30.] MSR may be hard to predict, but this much we know: nothing will be decided before the last half-hour or so. The upside of the long, slow run-in across the plains of Lombardia is the frenetic final hour along the Capes of the Italian Riviera. Great theater, great scenery, great startlist, and hopefully a great race.
A process note: we aim to start a new thread when the current one gets near 300 comments, after which it doesn't function too well. Be ready to switch over as we near these milestones. And so we needn't change threads in the heat of the action, be ready to switch over a tad early sometime close to the Cipressa, depending on where things stand.
Feel free to start early as live tickers get rolling. Enjoy!

Tifosa, I believe the word you're looking for is "fudge"
Did your favourite rider just win Montepaschi Strade Bianch Eroica Toscana? OK then.
Gazzetta has rather more details than you might want
“colpito nella notte da un attacco influenzale con disturbi gastrointestinali” struck down in the night by a dual assault of flu and gastric troubles. The classic military outflanking manoeuvre. I hope he wasn’t rooming with Gasparotto.
Did the race start yet?
Did it finish?
DID LANCE WIN?
:)
Dude... why WOULDN'T Thor ride the chicken?
Yes, he did
He lapped the field

now all you have to do is stay awake until the end.
Jesus Dan, are you just getting in?

Did someone pick Stuey O'Grady as a name to watch?
he’s crashed after 30k and abandoned. At least that is still on the flat.
I didn't pick Stuey but thought he might be a big help for Breschel.

It only has two updates so far
and they came fifty minutes apart http://www.gazzetta.it/Speciali/Giroditalia/2009/it/Primo_Piano/2009/03/20/sanremo_2103.shtml
In three hours from now
according to my tv guide.
I couldn't remember off the top of my head
whether it was one hour plus or minus. Yes, well at 15:05 to be precise.
Info from friend in a Team car
fast hard race 11riders in front with S.Lang. 5min advantage. also Ignatiev,Eisel,Tjalingi in there. LPR is working

tete de la course
ls sont onze en tête. Au côté des deux tricolores Turgot et Le Mével, on retrouve l’Ukrainien Yuriy Krivstov (AG2R – La Mondiale), les Russe Maxim Belkov (ISD) et Mikhail Igniatiev (Katusha), l’Autrichien Bernhard Eisel (Columbia), le Norvégien Kasper Klostergaard (Saxo Bank), le Néerlandais Maarteen Tjallingii (Rabobank), l’Allemand Sebastian Lang (Silence – Lotto) et les Italiens Giampalo Cheula (Barloworld) et Alessandro Bertolini (Serramenti).
Klostergaard is a dane, saying differently is just slander :-)
looks like QS and LPR are the bigguns that need to work.

Like anybody outside of Scandanavia can tell the difference.
But I’ll try: Danish=yummy pastry, but a Great Dane is a dog. A Finn is something you watch out for whenn you’re surfinng. A Swede is a turnip. And a Norwegian is…is…help me out here?

He’s still got the motor and heart for racing, but his body can’t take the impacts so well. :-(

I am considering waking up my daughter and asking her to go to Starbucks.
Hmmm…. 17 year old at 5:23am on a Saturday morning? Probably not a good idea.
Makes up for all those mornings
she is going to come home late and keep you up with worry..

Breaking news - Lance rode so fast he propelled himself into orbit.
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
The latest on the race, as compiled from various sources. Break has roughly 5 minutes on the field, slightly more than halfway through the race.
the French Sébastien Turgot (BBox) and Christophe Le Mevel (FDJ), the Ukrainian Yuriy Krivstov (AG2R – La Mondiale), Russians Maxim Belkov (ISD) and Mikhail Igniatiev (Katusha) Austrian Bernhard Eisel (Columbia), the Norwegian Kasper Klostergaard (Saxo Bank), the Dutch Maarteen Tjallingii (Rabobank) and German Sebastian Lang (Silence – Lotto) and Italians Giampalo Cheul (Barloworld) and Alessandro Bertolini (Serramenti) .
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
Almost hate to bring up the subject, but is anyone getting anything but U of Phoenix commercials on ctv?
My highly accurate and usually wrong math tells me the pre-race show should be on at the top of the hour.
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
Yeah, my screen says it's "ready". Makes me chuckle. We'll see in 20 minutes whether that was an aspirational comment or not.
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
Oh, and congrats to me - I've selected to receive a free MacBook Air via the ctv website. Wonder if it'll be compatible w/ Silverlight?
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
Unfortunately, only available in North America
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
And in other news, 5 hours ago Lance was listening to "Rage Against the Machine"
for his pre-race pleasure. And he had lots of pasta last night at the team dinner. Thought you’d like to know.
No wonder he propelled himself into orbit!
Thinking hard - really hard - of something witty to say....
He did that to generate momentum for the propulsion.

Oh man, struggling to stay awake here :-(
What’s the bet I lose the battle just when the coverage starts…
And guys… how did we get to >130 comments, with bugger-all in the way of race coverage/updates yet?!

Afternoon
Usually I lurk from the Bay Area, but I’m renting a flat in Ukraine this month… think the DSL is more what you’d call ISDN – no video for me. Cycling News live ticker not inspiring confidence.
Should know in a couple of days...
We fly there Monday morning. I expect it’ll be cold there too. ;)
It is a beautiful part of the world. I was hiking in the Bieszczady National Park in Poland
a few years ago and almost (accidentally) ended up in Ukraine. (Took a few bad turns :-P) It looks a lot like northern Wisconsin, except for the low mountains (which we don’t have.)
Indeed!
We’re in Lviv, and it seems like it’d be lovely if it wasn’t under a foot of snow. Okay, I’m exaggerating… Sun came out today, even saw a guy pedaling somewhere. ;)
it was beautiful in the Bay Area yesterday...
with some showers later today…..from California weather to Ukrainian snow….wow!
I did manage to get one good ride in before catching my flight...
