Start of the season for many of the big guns. Sortainly many of the sprinters have this race marked in their calendars.
Today's 8,2 km Team Timetrial seems to be about the grudge-match between Sky and Garmin. To the winner goes the right to call the other "Wanker" I believe. Normally though, the day is dominated by Quick Step.
Official start list (official site)
Live feeds expected at 12:00 CET (6:00Am US Eastern)

Well, I'm hoping Tony is sufficiently recovered from the flu
so that the Saxo boys can call everyone else ‘wanker’ ;)
PS. Jens…’ Qatar’ I think even though it flies in the face of the rule. I promise I tried to fight my ‘true nature’…

Times so far
Vacansoleil 10.03
Topsort 10.14
AG2R10.18
Trek/L 10.20
Couldn’t find an official start list – but seems to be in reverse team order by back numbers
I give it less than two months until rbjhan posts the very same thing
(possibly with ski jumping, luge or something else susbstituting)
Tennis! But then she won't mind..
But since when EUROsport is broadcasted in Australia?

You'll be pleased to know that I'm not able to see a live feed..

Me neither
But there are sometimes obscure Australian sports n Europsport sometimes

Wow, actual tv.
Nice.
If only I weren’t a poor student. Or actually watched enough tv to make foxtel worth it.
Do you have to pay extra for the Eurosport
or does it come with the sports package? Not that I would have that anyway…
OOh that's what I'm trying for!

I've got it! ( Does that sound like Eliza Dolittle?)

Is it okay if I laugh a little? ;)
Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl.

Omne, is 'live' for you like live for me... a buffering nightmare?

Love it... you do measured and I'll do hyperbole.

That would be good news
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Cyclingnews is giving that honour to Wiggins?

Defintely the Norwegian jersey that crossed the line first
Am now watching bits on rewind and just seen that again
Probably relying on the Eurosport commentary
which is unfortunately provided by Carlton Kirby
Cervelo are going to be so pissed off
when the PdC kits roll out and Cervelo are relegated to second coolest
Sky look like Frinking's Dementors...

It's going to be tough for Boonen to keep his title now.. Farrar in pole position now

I'm still trying to work out what my feed is giving me :(

Damn, damn, damn.
Just catching up with the news. GHH says he pushed Rasch to avoid crashing when the wind blew them together. Knocked from second to dead last—too far back to catch up in a race like this. That’s got to hurt.
I will be a different rider in 2010, one who wins races.--Linus Gerdemann
Seriously?
That was either the longest “push to avoid a crash” in history or some overzealous adjudication.
Those little pushes are very common in cycling, even in a TTT. What next, no body contact at all?
"Age and treachery will overcome youth and skill" - Fausto Coppi
That is idiotic that they are penalized 1 minute for such a short course. Should have just gotten like 30 seconds or something so they
aren’t dead in the water.
A Push Is A Push...
…it doesn’t matter how long the race is – it’s still a penalty.

So says the Commissaire.
Anybody got a video of this “push” yet?
"It's a lovely thing, feeling that momentum. If you're lucky, it's also about grace." Tim Winton
Yeah that really sucks.
Wish I could see a video replay of what happened. So much for Haussler winning Tour of Qatar. Hopefully this makes him mad and he goes on a tear this season. ;)
