Does anyone know of any free online live video feeds for North America? Otherwise, it's paying for cycling.tv. Thanks! |

Re: Ronde picks
No O'Grady on the start list (according to cyclingnews.com). Anyone know what the go is there?
 Thought he'd be a handy man for Cancellara to have working for him. |

Re: Ronde picks
its snowing in London which is unheard of for April. So I would suggest Belguim is going to be worse...... that being the case the course is going to be a nightmare......

The main area of snow is largely stuck across the far south-east of England at the moment. Some wintry showers are likely across Belgium today but i think they will miss the worst of the weather (at least the route will as it ends up in eastern Belgium i think). |

Re: Ronde picks
...although of course just the cobbles being wet is enough of a challenge...

Re: Ronde picks
So Stijn Devolden of Quickstep wins, with Nick Nuyens in second place! I didn't see Boonen or Cancellara in the top ten.

those guys are above sprinting for places in the top 10 though. If a podium place is on the line, they will shift it into the 51x12. Otherwise not interested. |

The CSC website indicated that Stuey is riding in a support role for Fabian both at Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. He is still not completely back from that nasty crash at the Tour last year. I was also suprised to not see Fabian as the first CSC rider across. It's Arveson instead. I will enjoy watching it on Versus, in replay, this afternoon.

Re: Ronde picks
Quite a solo ride from Devolder! I was happy to see him win in front of his "home crowd". This is my favourite way of winning: solo for the last 5-20Ks with the bunch chasing.
Boonen did look strong on the climbs though so I'm a bit dissapointed he just sat back and watched the show. Some nice riding from the Astana rider in the last 20Ks (Vaitkus/Rast? Even the commentators had a problem deciding  )

Re: Ronde picks
What a fantastic race! Devolder rode almost like a super-man, great victory for him, the kamikaze!
QS really beat CSC today...  Anthony talking about Vaitkus all the time was very annoying since we all could see that it was not Vaitkus. Apparently it was Rast, great ride from him. Rabo was impressive too today, they have some serious talents in that squad!! |

Re: Ronde picks
BTW, here is a video of the crash I talked about in my previous post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QTAJnDduVA. The rider is Ángel Gómez, and apparently broke his leg and elbow/shoulder. Scary crash.
