AToC Stage 3 - SPOILERS!!!

Lot's of activity right from the start. 3 racer breakaway with CA, BMC and Rabobank riders. Riders from the Peloton trying to bridge the gap, but to no avail so far. Scott Nydam is one of them in the break.

Just watched Voight attack. Did you see the look on his face as he approached the camera? I wish I had that as a Poster on the wall!

I am a huge Jens fan. I wish I had 1/10 the determination he does.

I know this has been beaten to death, but where are you guys getting video?

I want to listen to the audio here at work.

Catch 22. I use Firefox to get to the Amgen site which then tells me I have to disable Firefox to watch the tracker thingy. I'll just wait 'til it comes through town again.

5 minute gap on a 4 man break...the climbing starts soon. Including Nydam AGAIN. That's gotta hurt.

Get the Adobe Flash plugin and it should work. I use Firefox 2.0 with Adobe flash. Works like a champ.

Cozza was able to catch the break. Incredible.

I'm using Firefox to watch https://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com...urTracker.html. If PIP isn't showing up for you, refresh. They just got it working.

PIP rocks!!!!

I would rather use this format then watching on TV by far. Audio, TWO video feeds (selectable), rider tracking, rider stats, text updates.

SWEET.

Now if we could teach American cameramen how to actually film a bike race, and teach those two how to commentate, it would be the perfect experience?

It's most likely a flash problem. See if you can update your flash player.
