That cobbly nutter's race is next week. Any idea of TV coverage?
-
Eurosport or cycling.tv (http://cycling.tv/)
Danish TV2 sends 4-5 hours live :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
France 3 for me
-
Make a DIY vid on 8/6 :)
-
Usually it would be NOS or VRT. But that particular sunday I'm flying to Tblisi. I have no idea of the TV coverage there.
-
What day/date is it?
-
Sunday 13th of April. Eurosport advertising live coverage from 3.30pm no doubt they will show highlights later in the evening.
-
We're setting off in a few minutes to go and see it in the flesh.

Since my trip to Georgia is postponed to autumn I'll be setting off tomorrow morning. Train to Tournai and then down to one of the cobble sections by bike to see them. A bit depending on situations, wind, legs and traffic I'll see them on the sectors 12, 6 and 3.

For future reference, there was live streaming on mms://80.160.76.117/tv2sputnik3 (as listed on http://www.cyclingfans.com/ ), which I found in time for the last 30km.
BelgianDanish commentary tho'

Just watched the race coverqge from France 2 [we`re in Frqnce at present and I`m using q French keyboard].
Good rqce; Boonen looked so strong throughout. Good to watch the whole thing for once
-
Tom Boonen get to kiss the granite!

Waiving Cancellara on and then staying in full control at the rear just waiting. In the velodrome just before finish he stands up and uncontested sprint away from both Cancellara and Ballan as they had nothing left to give! O'Grady and the rest nowhere to be seen!
Job well done by Boonen, but am I the only one that feel he set it up a bit to well? ::-)

I only got to se the last hour as Eurosport apparently messed up and had to broadcast some MX from Portugal out of contract reasons!
Missed out on seeing any of the Swedes. Apparantly Marcus Ljungqvist (TEAM CSC) finnished 16:th at 05:12", after puncturing and being hit by another rider. Heard the comentators saying Magnus Bäckstedt did well up till half the race were run, when he fell trough the field for unknown reasons.
Anyone who saw what happend to him? ???

Marcus Ljungqvist rode long time in the front, but took a nasty dive.
Magnus Maximus Bäckstedt was visible until Arnberg forest :evil:
Long live Danish tv with 5 1/2 hours broadcast :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks Gus!
Wish I still lived on the westcoast and had access to free Danish TV!
See if the Swedish TV-channels mention the race at all....
-
France 3 for me
Lucky you!!

I shared a changing room with him at Newport track once. Lame to fame or what?
-
Looks like he stepped off his bike as did the Norwegian Thor Hushovd. Can't find him in the results!

Had such high hopes. Guess he forgot to eat his magic-müslie again... ::-)
-
Hushovd puked and stopped , he was sick pre-race
-
Highlights are on ITV4 next Saturday morning (19th)
-
Great atmosphere as usual. From Tournai railwaystation I teamed up with two Spaniards who study in Mons. First we went to sector 6, in Cysoing. Watching untill the Flecha-group passed. Then shortcutting to the actual Carrefour des Arbres, where sector 4 ends and sector 3 begins. Rode abt. 500m of this sector under a deafening applause and cheering by the crowd. Then followed the whole race. Whole tent villages were built by the mainly Belgian fans. They invite everyone around to see the remainder of the race on TV, them being perfectly pleased of course with the result.

I'm still working on my photo's. Tomorrow I have a special theatre shoot so it could take a bit longer this time.

British riders did very well in the baby paris-roubaix. Very well including the win!

There are contradicting rumour as to whether he double punctured or just broke his wheels. I heard about the conflicting rumours from a zipp guy so...

Indeed, I found a live stream to danish TV via cyclingfans.com! Didn't understand a word of it though, but fortunately, I had two monitors running with the race on one and a streaming conversation with BDST that was almost a commentary!
That's why the Paris roubaix is, and will always be, the best race; it's not controllable by anyone!

Most consistent reports were both his rims cracked. Big advantage of this was that Maaskant was now free to ride his own race and finishing fourth during his first Paris-Roubaix. Had Backstedt been up front untill the end, Maaskant would have had to work for him.

All those Flanders flags must be a massive boost if you are a Flandrian.
