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.

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'

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....

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... ::-)

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.
