Hi all, I hope that many of you will be able to watch the Giro d'Italia on tv, because it's going to be a humdinger! For the first time (to my knowledge), La...
Hi April, Presumably you're back in Italy now? OLN has cut back on their Giro coverage this year. Just Saturday and Sunday shows. Oh well. Probably all the...
That is a drag that OLN cut back the coverage. We had it in an IPTV stream (I work at Cisco) every day last year and the stages were usually played first thing...
Hello April, yes it's the first time (apart from last Lombardia) that RCS gave out the stage timetables without a lot of begging and a fax number. I will be...
Because the Col de Fer descent is blocked the new route is over the Glandon and descend to the Vallee of Villard giving 500 metres more distance and about 160...
... I am, in principle. Oetztaler was to be my main goal for 2005, but I have something else that day, so I shifted to Marmotte, hope I will be ready on...
Judging from the strong North wind here, the Mistral (wind) could be a major factor up the well named Ventoux (Vent =wind) today. Before reaching the summit,...
... Oh. What are they doing to the tunnels? Having an ongoing battle with vertigo (which was acting up horribly last summer and forced me to ride the brakes...
Oh yes. And good luck at the Marmotte. Karol ... From: "François Siohan" <francois.siohan@...> To: <kom_@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005...

... Karol, I recall reading once that Gianni Bugno suffered from vertigo and was cured with music therapy (mainly Mozart, I think). Obviously, it worked. I...
Quite exciting finish. Was the ascension time 61mins which seems good if they had a wind against? (finish 16:17, approche de Mont Fauve 15:16). I'm riding...
Chauve, not Fauve seems like 62 min approx. Have not evaluated the time advantage on the Marmotte. Guess : about 5 min. Normally, decline at our ages should be...
There's a new Alpe d'Huez website by PhotoBreton http://grimpee.alpe.9online.fr/. + I found the 30 or so archive pictures interesting and the hairpin map of...
hi Michael the website you mentioned still remains confused about the finish of the TdF stages. http://grimpee.alpe.9online.fr/alpe-huez.html I wrote to a guy...
François Where is the confusion? If I understood what is being said there the finish of the "Grimper de l'Alpe" amateur race and the Marmotte finishes near...
... Oh yeah. There we go. Right! Seriously. Vertigo is a strange affliction. It comes and goes with no seeming reason why. Mine went into remission again in...
... HERE IS THE MISTAKE, BOTH FROM YOUR WEBSITE AND FROM THE PHOTO BRETON SITE, BUT I MUST SAY YOU HAVE PUT DOUBT INTO MY MIND (as I thought the finish was a...
Hmm. Who's to say that he didn't just accept what you said? OK. Well I've worked enough OT this week that I can waste some time on non work affairs... ;^) I...
... Possible ... I thought of Guerini mishap happening earlier, like 100-200 meters before Place Paganon ... AH! Good point, I did not remember that there was...
... Hi Karol, Yes, my problem was cured with acupuncture...it was just a simple matter of nerves not functioning properly, causing a lot of pain in the ...
That is great news. Hey, I've heard of this Giro delle Dolomiti. Is this a stage race or is it a multi day tour? Karol ... From: "April Pedersen Santinon"...
... The format is very interesting. In each stage there is one climb that is timed, and the GC is based on that. There is an overall GC and a GC by age-group...
Wow. They only time the climbs? Sounds like my kind of event! (World's WORST descender.) Now you've done it. I have yet another event for my some day to-do...
Hi April, I think that link should have been: http://www.girodolomiti.com/ and I should be off to bed, Milan-Sanremo tomorrow morning... Brian ... or ... that ...
Checked it out. What a cooooool ride! The Pordoi day looks like great fun. Have a good time April. Karol ... From: "Brian Tomlin" <b_tomlin@...> To:...
