I sometimes find something that's up on YouTube for a day or two.

If you use Google Chrome there is a free Vpn you can use. I do it and stream Eurosport threw England. Works great

Sagan's win in stage 1 of the ToC sure was fun to watch. At one point it looked like he was boxed in and missed his opportunity, but he found a way to get through and come around for the win, really impressive.

I don't watch pro racing, but I did see that sprint on facebook. Pretty amazing. Reached it a few times and even showed my wife (who now thinks racing looks dangerous haha!)

It was pretty cool to see the local wonder kid (Powless) put in that huge dig on Gibraltar today. Was also impressive to see him hold on for 5th after getting caught.
Earlier this year on one of the weekend group rides, he rode away from the field on what is typically a 10-11 minute climb by putting up an 8;30. I was happy to have skipped the ride that day, but suspect it looked a lot like today's effort.
While he was off solo today, Paul and Phil were scrambling to fill air time talking about him and since he's raced so little, he recent wins were local USAC races. Paul and Phil were talking about the Coppertown Circuit Race for goodness sake.

Powless is one who was pretty good as a junior, but has come into his own this last year.

Not when on a technical descent due to his own handling skills.. he was too wide and smashed into a snow bank - replay was pretty cool his bike went flying - glad he is okay though. If it was a mechanical on the way UP the hill, then no attacks would be the common leaders jersey courtesy. Can't wait to get home to watch the full stage though i already know the result. Should be a good trainer ride recording for a long time to come!

Yo dawg, I heard you like bike racing. So we're starting your field at 12:30 so you can watch the giro before you bike race.

Just caught up on the last two Giro stages. HOLY ****!!! Kruijswijk said he didn't blame them for not stopping, since the crash was his fault.

Today's sprint at the Dauphiné was something special.
