After Saturday's climbing stage the Crit Int is still a pretty open affair with a handful of strong TTers all within range of victory. The day's morning stage (which starts already 9:15 CEST) shouldn't change the GC much so the action should happen in the 7.7 km TT in the afternoon.
Ticker for Stage 2
Live video at 15:15 CEST (09:15 AM US eastern, 00:15 AEDT)

Feels great to watch at a normal time
"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 pretty normal
4 am for me :) Video links already?
I think after the F1 I will sleep until Gent starts.
"Racing bikes is for the kids, the rest of us just want to feel like kids on our bikes" - Flying Dog
hum sleep then
if you want and O/T update on F1 is 5 laps to go. Button, Kubika, Massa and Alonso with old tyres and Hamilton and WEbber flying behind then with new tyres. :)

early morning... usually btwn 3am and 4am now that i'm not working
but, if i wake up after midnight, i can never fall back to sleep… maybe a light dose here or there, but never really back to sleep.
besides, i think i’ve got albertina’s cold

"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
I thought that was explained in my rant
I was watching F1, and thanks to it being in Australia I didn’t have to get up at 6am but could instead stay up until 2am, much better.

Guess sleep is avoiding me...
Also…World Track Championships are live right now. They just finished the 200m for the Men’s Omnium and I think Clancy is in the lead for GB, Tim Veldt in 2nd for Nederlands and Phinney didn’t do too bad for 6th
Women’s Keirin is live now

"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I don't understand any of that :(
Is it because I used the colloquial ‘goes off’?
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
maybe it's just me and the use of the "he" pronoun
tho, i did know the “he” referred to machado, and not sempre. nvm
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
I thought Sempre was a man... in fact I'm sure of it,
because I was surprised by the prettiness of the name belonging to a male… But I’ve been wrong lots…

This is as good a bio as any
http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest/345585/russell-downing-rider-profile.html
Very successful domestically on the road, did well in tour of gb and tour of ireland – and that led to his getting a place on Sky. (Eventually sky ceded that they had to have the best of the british domestic riders on board to keep a semblance of credibility of being a british development team)
Good rider – particularly in these shorter races, good bloke and is grabbing the chance with both hands. Pleased for him. His twitter can be a laugh as well.
Agree - He did some sterling work for EBH et al in the middle east
Set up EBH superbly for one win – although at times it looked a little incongrous as RD doesn’t offer EBH much shelter from the wind.
Yeah I knew his story because he had some passport issues when he was on HealthNet-Maxxis in '07
and was stuck racing in England. Followed his ever since

a slur that the 2008 tdf field wasn't that great
why do you think he came out of retirement anyway? he thought he could walk all over the peloton.

So is there live video? sorry I'm a bit dense tonight.
I suppose i mean video that starts soon.

jens really should change the live video conversion times above for the states, 9:15 us eastern, not 11:15
