Paris-Nice, anyone?

Paris-nice-live_medium

A bit early yet for the first "real" race of the season (meh!), so join RTBF for the local news. Live coverage  on in about an hour & 15 minutes, per cycling.tv & steephill.com. Now, if I can only come up with the remaining words... Hmmm, what to say, what to say.  Guess I could debate whether c.tv will actually work this morning.... Or I could brag about my current ranking in VDS. Or not.

Good morning, all. Oooh, racing in France today, yay!

As I watch the Innertube show this morning, I wish…1. that they’d identify these people they are always interviewing. If you miss the first moments of interviews, you don’t know who the person is! 2. Make the guests dress in a more appropriate manner. What’s with all these guys in their T-shirts all the time? 3. Talk about the elephant in the room, the service problems that they had last week and what they are doing to address it. Hard facts, not platitudes.

Could win this

Did your favourite rider just win Montepaschi Strade Bianch Eroica Toscana? OK then.

Why was he 4 points... I would picked him for 2 but 4... Just one point too expensive

The crash is not good news.

It was like 99th that he came in.
