Any of you guys watching and/or following it? Some pretty cool pictures from today's stage, which brought them past Sestriere ski resort.

Almost forgot it was this early. Do they have daily coverage on VS or what? If it's primetime, hopefully I can catch a few stages of it.

I thought this was going to be about helmets. :dunce:

Yes, there is daily coverage on Universal Sports Network. They repeat primetime at 9 I think.

Awesome racing through stunning terrain. Tomorrow's time trial is going to be awesome. It's 60+ Km., long for a TT, and hilly, with I think 2 categorized climbs, and its set along the Cinque Terre, which if you do not know, is a collective of 5 small villages perched on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean. The Italian Riveria is a stunning place if you've never been.

Here's some pics Lance apparently took or had taken while he was doing some Recon of the route a few months back while we were all skiing deep POW!

Balls, wish I got USN. 60 km tt? That's nuts long. I could tt over about 10 miles maybe...

 

[Marc]

Oh, and average about 2/3 of what a pro would average over a 60 km tt with 2 categorized climbs, lol.

Me too. I was hoping it would be about helmets actually.
