When i get time at work I watch it live. If i cant, I just watch the repeat at night here. So does anyone seriously follow cycling on here?

My flat mate (who lives in Norway) is right into his cycling, has the tight shorts, weird peddels n' everything. I personally can't understand the tactics, but like the girls who join the winner on the podium.

What channel is it being shown in the UK? Anyone ken?

Nice!!

One thing I really like about youtube is the comments:

w0w anyone hating on this vid is a f**kin loser, dave watson is a f**kin awesome rider, maybe you youtube fags should grow a sack and go send it your self.

WTF!?! Send a sack by yourself!?!

i follow it every year, my dad was an ironman triathalete (i cant even spell it) and rode a bunch of road races, a lot of them over 100 miles. So i always watch it with my dad. I tried to get into it but sitting on that little seat for so long isnt all that great to me, but it was some fun.

I love watching an attack, its so dramatic. much more fun than reality tv.

Its Triathlete. I am doing my first IM this november in Florida.

I am getting more and more into bike racing. I can now do TT at well over 40km/h. So I am hoping to maby win one or two local races, and then maby get some sponsorship...

The little seat thing is actually a misnomer. It is actually more comfortable on a smaller sadle, then on a big thick one.(less surface area to rub against, means less chafing.

my dad ran his ironman through Lake Placid, New York which was full of mountains with very steep inclines, maybe 6 years ago. when he did the swim the water was 64 degrees F. He was going to do another one in florida but he messed up his leg in the first one, and couldn't run very well after that. he could get surgery though.

Ya, placid is next weekend. My parents are going down to watch it. About 10 people on my team are racing it, so they are going to support them/get a couple good rides in.

Too bad about your dad, i hope he is better now.

I take it you like the colored shorts.....as they tend to show more then dark colors.
