Liege-Bastogne-Liege... LIVE!!! (Thread #1)
The curtain comes down on the Spring Classics today, but there's one last great chance for Cycling to take a bow. I watched the 2003 version on the trainer tonight, and what struck me was how, although the race kept coming back together, the last 50km were a complete slugfest. Also, Lance and Sammy Sanchez storming through Belgium is a cool thing to see. Anyway, it'll be a great day today.
And I won't be here to see it. We're off camping. Hopefully Cycling.TV will have the as-live version available when I get back. I'm making two threads; please migrate over to number 2 when this one hits 400 comments and becomes a tad unwieldy. Enjoy!

The player was pretty slow to load today
Thanks for checking in.
Break on the next climb
crazy roads
This one will blow the field apart.
CdE pacing the field
The pace of the field is substantially quicker than the break. Gap is already down to 4:06.
Yaropop sighting, good to see.
Me too, I think
Morning all

Tradition. I've heard them referred
My relatives over there have HUGE May Day fests in their little towns, involving copious amounts of beer and wursts, bands and schunkeling (swaying back and forth with the music.)
Brutt is on my VDS
Kopp is hanging in there

Kopp is falling back, he's done.
Hesjedal
Gilbert looks very strong
Windy, or just the helicopter?
Slipstream
Gilbert is flying!
62k to go, gap to Gilbert 1:32.
carlstrom not dropping back
Waiting for change of terrain? Is he a climber?
i dont think we saw him thru the feed

Howdy from Korea
currently
Rolland is throwing his musette to the right. Good thing there is no cross wind, as otherwise it could have blown into Fothen's wheel, who is riding behind the Frenchman. It wouldn't be the first time that such an incident has caused a rider to crash.
Current race situation
Markus Fothen (Gerolsteiner), Pierre Rolland (Crédit Agricole), Pavel Brutt (Tinkoff Credit Systems)
Philippe Gilbert (FDJ) at 1.29
Kjell Carlström (Liquigas) at 2.09
Peloton at 3.00
race radios
800 feed
yup. froze, then back without sound
Just had to go all the way down to the 400
Picture Quality...
Cheers,

Good morning
Nice to see you are still with us Goat.
Same as he's doing now
1200 feed
400 working now (it froze too)
I wonder if THEY have a buffer that gets full??? Could be that instead of (or rather, as well as) a basic supply-demand bandwidth problem.
18k to La Redoute.
1200 not good
800
Make it fun--Hold your breath every time it pauses
400 now f*cked again
CDP rider off the front
back to 1200
Try refreshing through the live race link...
Cheers,
Rebecca

Gilbert is still pushing hard
still spotty at 800
Yet strangely enough, 1200 seems to be working ok for the moment...
camera phase in
Leaders at 39k to go, 1:05 back
Frightening thing...
