It's Monument time again. In the most democratic of all the monuments the sprinters will try and neutralize the attackers in the race that is truly open for all types of riders.
info on when the live video is available is unclear. It might be as early as 14:00 but more likely it starts at 15:00 CET.
Live video possible from 14:00 CET (09:00 AM US eastern, 00:00 AEDT)
Videolinks from Universal Sports (US) , Steephill or cyclingfans

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
is there any particular reason you feel like you have to snap at ppl becasue they like to have some fun in live threads?
if not, can we agree that we should just ignore each other?
As well as that, read the Post Mendrisio thread..
I know you didn’t at the time because Evans won.

Chrome has promise but needs constant updating for now
They deliver a new beta every few days, it seems.
I have been using Safari almost exclusively now but it crashed last night and I bah-ed it
My firefox on my older Macbook has been crashing all of the time but I only have about 5 GB of memory or space left on the thing so I am just dealing with it.

Safari crashed quite often for me, at least once a week
but I think Steve was right: often related to the Flash plugin. They have improved the sandboxing in the latest Safari update, hasn’t crashed since.
Firefox never crashed for me but I like it less because it’s slower to start and less integrated.
These days I have no hassles with Safari,
although in days gone by i often resorted to firefox..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
In my search for the perfect browser, I'm now using Safari.
Firefox: after several hours would gunk up the whole computer and force a reboot (emptying cache only helped a little).
Opera: crashed a lot. Test lasted maybe a day before I gave up.
IE: hahahahahahahhaha.
Chrome: probably the fastest, but a couple of irritating habits—if a page doesn’t load instantly, it says it can’t find it. Hit enter and it comes up as usual. Also the only one that regularly fails to refresh PdC threads.
Safari: okay so far, but I wish it were as fast as Chrome.
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
I find Firefox faster than Safari too
but it’s ‘clunky’ in the way it moves from page to page and stores information.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Opera crashed a lot?
That is very surprising. It seems to be one of the most stable and fastest browsers out there. However, it does render some websites kinda funny.
The 'kinda funny' is a bit ominous...
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
It can sometimes swap out fonts
as well as make things look broken. I think it is because developers have to put in all these fixes for other browsers that because of Operas low market share they forget about it.
The older versions were very very stable
The last couple of versions are pretty horrible. I think that it’s a flash issue, but I found that it would just vanish with no warning.
It's not so much forgotten about
As it is a case of having to break something to fit some obscure version of IE that’s still more popular than Opera.

i use three browsers: firefox (for pdc, nbc universal sports, and such), chrome (videos), IE (cause i likes it, plus adtvideo doesn’t work on the other two)

I'm here now! Having breakfast.
Guess what. My computer is broken. I’m on my Mother’s rubbishy old netbook. If the feeds don’t work on here I will cry. I tried to watch pelota last night and could get sound but no picture….worrying.
i beg to differ. i've had two acers and really liked them
i’ve passed them on to my sister-in-law, since i got hubby’s old dual processor gateway, and, of course, my quad processor hp tower…. sigh. it’s a dream that hp machine

Too funny Ted. That guy has never seen an adjective or descriptor he didn’t like.
Why very good?
He’s an arrogant little bah-stard even if he says he is not…
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
The interview was very well done..
And he’s right.. If he thinks he win he says that.. He’s not sandbagging like Contador.. And I like T. Dekker for his honesty most of the time. He wasn’t right bout not naming Renshaw by his Champs-Elyses win but alla
Distracted for a minute there?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I was not talking about the predicting of his own wins
The stuff he says later about being unbeatable and the lack of respect for his fellow sprinters is very bah-worthy.
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
It depends
For me that does not say he is unbeatable. Theo Bos won in Almeria.
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
He wasn't unbeatable...just in the stages that he contested. He was beaten by Hushovd because he couldn't climb
"Cofidis Keukeleire in revelation set off a seat and made the job off." Oh Google translator...
by Vlaanderen90 on Mar 20, 2010 9:16 AM EDT up reply actions
But his rivals beat him when he was in the main pack so technically he wasn't unbeaten
He is a great sprinter but not the best by any means…He just had one good season so far. Petacchi won 9 stages at the Giro and he wasn’t even unbeaten and it was an arguably better performance.

Gap to the breakaway is slowly coming down..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
They really let the break get away.
It was over 20 minutes at one point. I guess it is easy to bring a break back in when the race is 300k.

tips
The first peloton must keep this split or is to far from finish to do this? what dou u think?
by virandociclista on Mar 20, 2010 9:49 AM EDT reply actions
if Cav/Cunego group gets back they will have used a lot of energy to get back
then they still have Cipressa / Poggio – will be hard for anyone from second chase to win
whoa... what happened to the video?

Nope
He has been very lucky to get the role. Must be dozens of better cycling interviewers around. Every Belgian school child knows more about cycling tactics than he.
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
Let's agree to disagree
before this discussion turns nasty. Only a few more years till he retires…
Gerrie Kneteman: If a football player falls he shouts for his mother, if a cyclist falls he yells for his bike.
Ah well..
I have done 2 interviews for my project.. To get the info you want is difficult.. And altho he is not a good live commentator.. He can interview and make documentaries very well
He's a very bad live commentator
IMHO he seems good at interviews because he was amazingly lucky to be around when Holland really went nuts about cycling. They could have looked around for someone with some knowledge about cycling at the time but decided to waste tax money on bag full of air Smeets. Because he’s been around so long he’s part of the scene. Young riders like that feeling of course.
The interview after AGR last year was horrible. And his books are all about himself.

so, for those that understand italian, is the audio from gazetta tv matching up at all to the video?

i guess audio diff than vid?
kinda like mystery-science 3000 for bikes
seemed like they commenting on the video
not the actual broadcast
Back live on gazetta !
In the Manie climb, very foggy
Might be Ivanov...I would think that Pippo might be hiding a bit more for now
