Holy Week begins with the climby half of the dynamic weekend duo. Tomorrow is the more sprinter-friendly Gent-Wevelgem. Chris is on the ground in Flanders for this one and perhaps he will provide some direct comments. If not, you can always enjoy the collected wisdom of the Cafe.
Live video at 14:30 CET (09:30 AM US eastern, 00:30 AEDT)
Look for links at cyclingfans, steephill, myp2p, and BVLS. In the meantime, here's a live ticker to tide you over.
Official site, Startlist and Parcourse.
Chris' comment from that other Pre-race live thread: Gorgeous day in Harelbeke so far: sunny, no real wind, temps rising. All is good -- the streets are bustling with activity, the press center has excellent wifi, and my camera is loaded for bear. Time to roam the streets, back in a bit. Race starts at noon, TV at 2:30. Tot ziens!
UPDATE! OK, they're off. The weather is looking more like springtime in Flanders, and I gather it'll be off and on all day. I saw everyone except Hincapie, who must have snuck past. Spoke briefly with Roger Hammond who rather candidly lamented the new calendar: he's of the belief that a race like this as well as GW deserves its own space on the calendar, and by having them both together riders have no choice but to focus on one. Tomorrow I will remember to bring my photo disc thingy; I'd have stuff to put up now had I thought of it today.
And now... we wait. I believe the peloton did a loop near Harelbeke but didn't see them come through. Press room is relatively quiet, no pictures til 2.30.

Corsica:
20 km: Timmer and Pineau. Advantage 4:25
Coppi&Bartali:
Tiziano Dall’Antonia (Liquigas Doimo), Francesco Chicchi (Liquigas Doimo), Andrea Noé (Ceramica Flaminia), Francisco Ventoso (Carmiooro Ngc) e Jan Tratnik (Zheroquadro Radenska) abandoned.
jens is quite good at scheduling the live threads
of course, it would help if the live threads were scheduled to go up an hour BEFORE the race kicks off

The thing is
The livethreads push down the other content. In this case there is Gav’s superb piece on Valverde and if you put up the live way way in advance of there actually being anything to comment on that kind of stuff easily gets overlooked. That’s why I don’t put them up before noon.
Good call.

Doesn't the auto-scheduling work any more?
I remember seeing stuff under there last time I clicked it (which was probably a couple of years ago)
ah, that.
OK, but the Ronde live thread goes up at 6am!!

Meanwhile, there's a race on.
*Lotto started with 6 riders because they’ve been hit with what, for the sake of politeness, we will refer to as a stomach bug. Out are Cretskens and Scheirlinckx.
Deroo of Skil-Shimano attacked, but was brought back.

Choices, choices . . .
Which one of you thought it would be a great idea for me to turn my heat off earlier this week? Just because it was 70 and pleasant then didn’t mean it wasn’t going to drop into the 30s last night. Now my house is, oh, 55 degrees. It’s a wonder I made it out of bed.

Luckily, I did just locate the very last glass of diet coke.
Friend doesn’t arrive for a ride for another hour. So glad we didn’t go with the usual early departure. Would have made today suck already.

Thor out?
There have been 2 to write down assignments. That of the Swiss Noe Gianetti (Footon-Lotto) and Thor Hushovd (Cervelo). The Norwegian suffered from abdominal gruip.
Thor out with tummy trouble, too? Ted? Lopex? Here’s the original:
175km Er zijn al 2 opgaves te noteren. Die van de Zwitser Noe Gianetti (Footon-Servetto) en die van Thor Hushovd (Cervélo). De Noor had last van buikgruip.

Kopgroep van 25 renners Na ruim 60 kilometer hebben we een kopgroep van 25 renners, met een voorsprong van één minuut op het peloton. De belangrijkste namen vooraan zijn Hulsmans, Goetarovitsj, D’Hollander, Tjallingii, Rosseler, Gardyn en Barbé. Ook Landbouwkrediet is goed vertegenwoordigd met Joseph, Vandewalle en Neyrinck.

Chris- Hincapie isn't on the start list today at Harelbeke. CN has:
141 Alessandro Ballan (Ita)
142 Marcus Burghardt (Ger)
143 Martin Kohler (Swi)
144 Karsten Kroon (Ned)
145 John Murphy (USA)
146 Michael Schaer (Swi)
147 Jackson Stewart (USA)
148 Simon Zahner (Swi)
Er...the start list that still has Haussler? Not sure I'd take that as gospel.
I maybe don't always realize just how big some races are--Edvald Boasson Hagen, still fucking with the journalists
But checked BMC page, and Hincapie is doing G-W, not E3. So you're right anyway.
I maybe don't always realize just how big some races are--Edvald Boasson Hagen, still fucking with the journalists
Yeah, I'd go with BMC.
Not that team sites are always fully updated, either.

On the scene:
Just examined the last 200 meters: it’s slightly uphill and into whatever wind exists then. So if we have more than a solo winner coming in, it’ll be one last measure of strength.

Local kids are warming up for a little racing. There’s also some skills contests, including a couple tables where you grab a bidon off the first one as you ride by and place it on the second. That’s what I call bringing kids up properly.

Thanks..no luck which is strange.

Are you using Firefox? because it won't play on that...

Safari... and it's been my most reliable source until now.

Yeah the people who do BVLS said to use either Safari or IE
but it is strange it won’t work

I've got it in Chrome.
I maybe don't always realize just how big some races are--Edvald Boasson Hagen, still fucking with the journalists
Well I should have said it doesn't work on Firefox

It says the Sporza server isn't responding.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I dunno
For some reason it’s working for me, so I’m not going to tempt the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing by questioning it.
No don't tempt fate!

If you're on Windows,
Chrome usually works better than Safari because it is better integrated. The reverse is true on OSX, of course.
I'm on OSX so who knows... certainly not me.

I started IE for the first time in years
Was not certain that I had it on this computer. Now I feel dirty.

CTV should try to morph into an audio based service!
we usually can find an image to WATCH, but unless youre tri-lingual, or better, martin makes a fine fill-in for english language audio!
i guess my lifetime membership to cycling.tv WASNT wasted (he said with a wry smirk)!

looking confident today
Tony and Matti are strong. You can tell by the sandbagging — Cance was saying he left it all on the road in Dwars, or something like that.

I like Ivanov
he went out of his way to give an autograph to a fawning local teen. Classy guy perhaps.
