Bastille Day… finishing atop Mont Ventoux? 10-1 pay out? What’s not to love? 

Oh except it’s been over a quarter century since a Frenchmen has finished (or even summited) Ventoux first. Not going to count 2002 and Virenque. Dude was on that good good Festina kush. 

I sure am going to miss seeing the Rabobank orange in this year’s peloton.

Is this real fucking life? Really? Really?

The beautiful Passo dello Stelvio.

Usually I just set up the Mini-Tour De France League but why not do the Giro too?

I sure hope all you punters played my triple diamond a++++ lock of the century of the week!!! Because winner of Milan San Remo, Simon Gerrans (GreenEdge) isn’t on the start list for Gent-Wevelgem. 

That’s a winner!

At work watching Dwars door Vlaanderen on the projector while working in the lab. Love this.

Great question! There’s actually only one name you need to know when it comes to watching cycling online.. and that’s steephill.tv. They have links to various pirate feeds for EurosportUK and others (Rai, Gazzetta, Sporza, etc). The major races & Classics (Giro, Le Tour, Milan-San Remo, etc) have Eurosport feeds which are in English but some of the minor stage races and semi-classics (like today’s Nokere Koerse) are only available in Dutch or Italian, etc. 

Here are some tips I’ve learned over the years… There’s usually two or three feeds for Eurosport. Try them all until you find one that isn’t laggy, usually one is good. If one isn’t good you can stream the Eurosport audio-only from the Radio links (its Eurosport announcers, David Harmon and Sean Kelley) then open up another non-English feed and mute the audio. At all of these races (big or small) the video is done by one group and then the individual stations do the announcing over it. So it doesn’t matter the audio source. And sometimes you can get it to sync up perfectly or extremely close. 

Happy viewing and feel free to ask if you have any more questions!

In an effort to find the best possible cycling bets for punters today I scoured the sheets and found a…. triple-diamond LOCK OF THE SEASON

Right now on Unibet… odds are +103 that the winner of Milan San-Remo and Gent–Wevelgem will NOT be the same. 

Want to know the last time this happened? Ten years ago with Il Re Leone (the Lion King) himself.. Mario Cipollini. And before that? ‘67 with Merckx. That’s it. Twice in the last 60 years. And you can get that value for +103!!!! Whaaaat?!?!

And if this doesn’t win… then YOU GET MY BOWL GAME PICS FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
