Stijn Vandenberg is my go-to for hopeful-outsider. I know it's super unlikely, but he's just such a big freak that I want him to win one.

To be quite honest I'm mostly interested in who's going to be the first to senselessly crash into a traffic island and if someones going to get smeared by a train.

Has anyone got a working English Eurosport stream? I don't care if it's lovely quality as long as it actually shows a picture and doesn't buffer every minute.

Pocket, what stream/channel are you watching? Zattoo has Radsport but it's in german. Not the end of the world, but the only acceptable languages to watch cycling in are French, Italian and English.

Started watching late but did I hear the announcer correctly when he said the Canc/Sagan gap was from a crash and QS hammering?
