I prefer to watch it live at the side of the roads, cutting off via various small lanes. Today I only started out late, at 15h, so I could see them only 3 times. Should plan better next year.

What was that Franch race on Euro-sport after the Amstel?
I thought that CyclingTV webcast thing was superb, at least to begin with. We had the highest quality feed and it was as good a picture as you would get on TV. Towards the end though, I presume as more people logged on, we had to go to a lower quality. Still good for nothing though  :thumbsup:

I saw a few laps but can't remember the name, something like Pro-Tel. After the sunshine in Holland it looked like a muddy cyclocross event. It made me glad that I don't tailgate high speed cyclists in those sort of conditions -  I could feel the muddy grit in my teeth just watching it.
