Thanks for that, I was wondering if anything was going to be shown
"the rest was over 30. And that doesn't mean old and useless, but experienced and with the stamina"
Jens! Voigt, Crit Intl Interview, 2009
Lol.. You will be in bed I think..
It’s 8.30 hours from now
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
A date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak? Aah you know what they say about british girls.. No?
Not friggin fair.. C'mon Lotto ticket win win win
Need to move to Europe…
"the rest was over 30. And that doesn't mean old and useless, but experienced and with the stamina"
Jens! Voigt, Crit Intl Interview, 2009
Yeah, but what about the weather?
I mean seriously… it snows over there!
I have seen snow falling here in Sydney once and once only. Briefly. There was no snow on the ground, mind… you had to be pretty observant to notice that it was snow and not just really light rain. Now I distinctly remember how bloody cold it was that day. My mate was horrified to observe that my lips were blue.
I’ll move over there once they’ve fixed the weather ;-)
Don't care about weather
I’ll have a nice man (cyclist) hehe to keep me warm.. As soon as i win.. I’m there.

After I looke..
WTF?! A twitter ticker?! The world is doomed!

WTF... 3am?! 1st rider off at 3am?!
What sort of cruel joke is that?
More racing ;-)
How else are we to banish post Giro blues? Hopefully it will be over before The Apprentice…..
Adrenalina Italiana!
It took me a while to find the meaning of the domain name
I guessed TdL and Assoc but couldn’t figure out the O: Association des Organisateurs du Tour de Luxembourg.
Sorry, carry on.
These interwebs never fail to fascinate me.
I went to RTL (Radio-TV Luxembourg) to see if there was any chance they’d be showing something—doesn’t look like it, but I’m now watching live images of traffic in Luxembourg. Roads look pretty clear.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
ah, true, but it will be streaming the tour de suisse and tour de france
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Wait a sec...
They do seem to be showing 10 minutes of highlights (at least I think that’s what “De Résumé vun der Etapp vum Dag” means) , but that’s at 19:50 local time, and the last rider goes at 21:00, so who knows?
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
hmmm... interesting
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Looks like those 10-minute highlights are scheduled for 19:50 throughout the race.
Could be they couldn’t get a different time slot for the first day even though the TT is in the evening. The sucky thing seems to be that while June 3-5 the highlight show is on RTL1, for June 6 & 7 it switches over to RTL2—and it looks like only RTL1 is streamed online. At least, what’s been on my screen this morning matches the RTL1 schedule—otherwise, I haven’t a clue.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
you mean a european television channel that sticks to it's program guide?
how droll….
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
nice black screen there....
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
there it goes...
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Now they are off
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
A date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak? Aah you know what they say about british girls.. No?
surely not on the live stream...
brass musical instruments…
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Live stream?!
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."

dell'antonnia (csf) best so far at 3.55.42
at least that the twitter shows
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
If y'all haven't already learned it the hard way yet...
loads better directly from Twitter than from the update page.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
tnx from those of us who don't bother with twitter
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
still have to refresh tho...
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
What was her poin again?
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
A date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak? Aah you know what they say about british girls.. No?
Was I the only one having trouble getting the updates to load from the original site?
It was buffering endlessly for me, but Twitter loads instantly when I refresh it.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
it's the refreshing that's a pain...
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Np.. Appreciated.. But indeed.. It doesn't decrese the pain
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."

is it just me, or is the rtl livestream have a blue overlay?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Let me get this straight--you're actually watching live? Where?
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Or just waiting to see what they show at 19:50?
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
just hanging around
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
it's been fun watching five hours of giro coverage each of the past three mornings..
and again each am thru sat…. raisport piu rocks
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Think it's now
Marco MARCATO (VAC) 3:54:75
Tiziano DALL’ANTONIA (CSF) 3:55:42
Matti BRESCHEL (SAX) arrive: 3:56:81
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
By the way, since this is non-VDS and I have exactly one rider in the race
it’s pretty much a given that he (Andy Schleck) is going to take the overall.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
anyone else lose video?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I did, but it's back. And yes, very, very blue. the guy on the screen could be a Blue Man.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
And the sky is red-orange.
But somehow, the grass is still green.
It wasn’t like this when they were showing music videos earlier.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
I sure wouldn't swim in water that color.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
I called my son over to see the blue people and their little blue children
and he said, “We must stop them.”
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Jonathan HIVERT (SKS): 3:48:60 nouveau meilleur temps!!\
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind

Jonathan HIVERT (SKS): 3:48:60
New best time.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
geez, i need a nap
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Now they're live from the course--for a few minutes, anyway.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
must be an artistic statement
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
maybe to honor the blue of the saxo kits?
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
And people made fun of Haussler's frosted hair.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Well, with the race less than an hour old, I suppse there's not much to recap.
Maybe tomorrow we’ll get more.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Don't know. Was fascinated by the Land of the Blue People.

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
Only 61 degrees in Luxembourg--you could move there.
Come to think of it, it’s even cooler here in Indy.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
90, 48 percent humidity -- heat index of 94
can we drop the temp about 50 degrees or so? i’d settle to drop it by 40 degrees… heck maybe even 30 degrees
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind

Where do you live? America? Hmm Nvm.. Else I loved to change!

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
It's like swimming on the dry

then there's the blast furnace that is august... where it feels like your eyeballs are being sucked dry
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I remember standing in line in a bank somewhere, air conditioner on the fritz,
heat and humidity way up there. Everybody running with sweat. These people ahead of me start complaining loudly about the heat. Then this weathered old guy, looks like a farmer, speaks up. “Waall,” he says, “it IS summer.”
I still think of that whenever it gets hot.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
ah, yep

Jonathan HIVERT (SKS) 3:48:60
Marco MARCATO (VAC) 3:54:75
Tiziano DALL’ANTONIA (CSF) 3:55:42

Look, humans just are not blue. So what, exactly, are Luxembourgers?
We must not look at goblin men, we must not buy their fruits
Who knows upon what soil they fed their hungry, thirsty roots?
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Gustav LARSSON (Team Saxo Bank) arrive 3:52:74

Gustav LARSSON (Team Saxo Bank) 3:52:74
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Hard to say. Time gaps aren't big on a short course like this.
And knowing they can’t lose much time, I wonder if the ones going for overall might save a little something for stages that do matter.
But then again, going all out for 4 minutes might not be too taxing.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Rast, O'Grady?
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."

Aah but Irizar is here!
Maybe he’s going to surprise everyone
Crashdan: "Veni Vidi Vici beats Wing Kong Exchange... … and I’ll change my signature to a backwards smile for a month."
A date with the VDS of Team Txirrindulariak? Aah you know what they say about british girls.. No?
Rast starts in a minute or so.
Who the heck is Irizar?
How’s Kloeden in these teensy little prologues?
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Kloden has rode top 10 in prologues of the TdF..
Irizar is a little spanish guy who if he wants can ride a prologue.. In smaller stages he tide top 10 now and then

Frank SCHLECK a pris le depart!!
Very fannish for a live update.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
I suppose they will have even more exclaimation points for Andy.
Mon coeur appartient à les forçats de la route.
Fränk SCHLECK arrive sur la Place Guillaume!! 3:56:21 7eme place!!
Gotta love the enthusiasm.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
I think he's 10 times better as half of the peleton here..

Yeah, that true.....
Peleton? You mean there’s a bunch of cycling Pelé fans!?

The flip answer is just under 4 minutes.
But I’m looking, I’m looking…

It's a nice website
Maps: http://www.aotdl.com/skoda-tour-de-luxembourg-2009/parcours/les-cartes/ (a bit slow, could be busy because of the start). Also try the “Details” button in each map.
Yeah, I took forever downloading what I thought was info, and it was a map.
A very big map.

Gregory RAST arrive: 3:46:78 new best time
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Feillu into third place
Romain FEILLU arrive: 3:50:73 min…3eme place
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Ooh, brother bias
Andy Schleck didn’t get a mention at all on the live ticker when he started, much less exclamation points.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
No updates for 6 minutes. Wassup with that?
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
My theory, based on the FS frenzy: live update person got a chance to meet Schleck the Elder
and can’t be bothered with updates, assuming he/she is still conscious.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Everybody is beating Schleck>

Wow, 13 minutes without an update. Time to start trolling news sites for the winner.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
btw. thanks for the updates!
I will not go to any twitter/facebook etc. pages, so much appreciated! :)
Well, the live update person is dead, I believe.
And so far nothing on the sports news sites, but I’m still making the rounds…
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Twitter is open to anyone, no login required
Most pages are really very simple as well, no horrible Myspace layouts or gadgets. Here’s how it looks:
Final was Rast, Hivert, Bazayev
Gregory RAST 3:46:78
Jonathan HIVERT (SKS) 3:48:60
Assan BAZAYEV du Team Astana 3:51:35

Then again, what if the Eurosport guy just read the live ticker
and didn’t realize it cut off suddenly before all the riders were in?

Feillu must have been third

Little Schleck in 26th???
Has Frank ever beat Andy in a TT before?
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Okay, the answer is: once. Well, twice, now.
Long day--bad grammar. That's the way it works.--Lance Armstrong
Yep but that was on a mountain TT in the TdS last year
clearly this TT loss spells doom for the little Schleck.
Eh, that comment was sarcastic
I’m not the know nothing cycling press that travels around Armstrong here! I am wise enough not to read too much into a TdL prologue.
We're talking Schlecks here.
Not much weight available.
