Seems to be live feed from 14.25

“Volg de wedstrijd hier woensdag live vanaf 14.25u.” I think the 11.45 refers to the “tekst” thing, a live ticker I believe.

Stupid thing is, if it had been football or hockey the guy would probably pull up a chair and watch with me.

Someday it would be fun to fake an entire live thread before the West Coast wakes up.

Claim that the race had to start early because of weather conditions and finished before it was scheduled to start. We could fill it with all kinds of career-threatening crashes, maybe throw in a fight or two. Have someone really unlikely win.
