Re: Tour 04

T mobile sound they have got an EXTREMELY strong team....I dont
follow continental cycling as ardently as I used to , so I'm out of
touch. Still race though, just dont get the time for reading mags
and poring over websites, like I used to do... :-(

An extreme thing you could do is get a satellite dish big enough and
try pointing it at the 'Astra' satellite and try and get Eurosports'
coverage!!

I know what your're saying about seeing results though - Ive lost
count the number of times Ive recorded a classic or stage to watch
at night, and have avoided cycling websites all day, only to sign in
to 'my yahoo' which ive customised to show sports and cycling
headlines!!! And ive caught a glimpse of a riders name, looked away
and kicked myself. Just spoils my viewing as I watch said rider
romping home to win, when usually I would be jumping up and
down,shouting at the tv!!
