Cycling fans in the US wishing to watch the Hotter 'n Hell Spanish Vuelta this year have to pay €20 (25-26 $US) from cycling.tv or they can go the Stevie Wonder route & use balky update pages from the official site at lavuelta.com & a self-refreshing page at cycling news.OLN/Versus isn't covering at all until a wrap-up show September 17th? ;-(

Yesterday was the first stage in the mountains which knocked Thor off the podium. Pretty exciting stage. Put Danilo di Luca in yel..er, gold, but scrawny upstart Janez Brajkovic (Disco) stole the show & placed a whiff behind. Sastre & Valverde (favorites) are still in good positions as is Colorado-American Tom Danielson (Disco) Menchov, Vino & even Mayo probably lost too much time? Robbie McEwen even got disqualified for time yesterday & left without a sprint stage win to help him complete his 'triple crown'.

And you don't even want to ask where Cereal (Not Gonna Be A Factor) Diesel is.

Hey,€urøtwit, don't know if you hang around FR in the TdF off-season, but I've been wondering, did Thor Hushovd ride in the Giro this year? If so, any stage wins? I thought if anybody would know, you would.
