How are you watching ToC
Currently I am using the Tour Tracker on the Toc site, is there anything better out there that is free?

The tour tracker has been working for me, though the commentary is a little sub-par.
Basic cable doesn't include vs. so its my only option other than hanging out at a bike shop.

Tour tracker - the video is the same as you'll see on TV, plus you get the additional GPS-derived goodies.

I Feel Lucky- 10pm each night on Eurosport UK for 2 hours of Highlights and probably the finish. Currently watching the Track racing that I recorded this afternoon.

CRAP IT!!!! My DVR screwed up last night and didn't record anything. I finally got it fixed though. So the rest of the week can be recorded.

Mancebo is in the break alone with Johnson and Kemp chasing. Astana is in the pack.
I hope they get video up soon.

Tracker isn't working for me.
It's stuck on the "CONNECTING TO TOUR TRACKER SERVERS" page.

I watched the start about 200m from the start line. We watched them do the 2 laps and bolted over to Winters to catch the sprint. We got there just in time to see the end of the peleton and all the team cars.
Now home watching tracker (only showing women's crit now
). Waiting for Versus HD in another hour. I'm excited to see how they handle these brutal conditions.

Tour tracker is still saying that the choppers aren't flying due to the weather. Not sure how much we'll see today.
