We had a great finish yesterday..!!! Photo finish..! Chicci won by a hair..! What you didn't see it? Ok look here for the replay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xJwM4G0hQ5s
Today's stage the numero 2 if you don't remember looks like this:
With the last few kilometers of flat again... Well I would say is ideal for break away. But I don't know anything. if the peloton comes together with the last 3 kmts flat will be another bunch sprint.
Well we didn't have much luck with the videos for stage 1 or radio, lets hope stage 2 is a bit better.
Link for radio: http://www.fmlibertadsanluis.com/player.php
Twitter: Toudesanluis And every team that is taking part of it post something all the time.
Video: http://www.sextotourdesanluis.com.ar/transmision-canal-13.html
The video link worked only for the finish, better then nothing. This are links from yesterdays stage that I am strongly hoping will work today too.
Argentina start time: 3PM
USA East Coast time: 1PM
Europe: 7 PM
Australia: 5 AM
Is going to rain again, but sun will shine at some point with a very comfortable temp around 25 C 77 F.
As yesterday I will try to keep translating what the guys on the radio say.. I will do my best but I am at work and listen to it when I have no customers.

OPQS kit looks good on the road to me even if there were some nays.
Boonen and Levi in same photo in the same kit is a bit strange yet. And Saxo, might be the best kit ever.
I want to see the sprinters here
Strava...? We are going for the TOP 10 this year...! Are you going to be part of something great or not?
Let me correct my self....
I want to see my self going up those hills…! (next year, next year)
Strava...? We are going for the TOP 10 this year...! Are you going to be part of something great or not?
You'll be surprised what you can do if you take it slowly.
I thought I’d only get about 500m metres up Ventoux, and then, after quite a long time admittedly, I was at the top :)
