classics time.  Flights to Belgium are only $800 or so right now.  Anyone interested?

I learned some Flemish today...

So that means I could have drank your beer, and had enough time to replace it...

Hey Evan,

Is there any way to watch these races together at a reasonable hour short of flying over there?

I am aware of this site but, quite honestly, have never used it:  http://cyclingtorrents.nl/

There are other sites that carry the EuroSport and Sporza.be feeds:

http://www.steephill.tv/

http://cyclingfans.com/

Sporza frequently posts the last km, last 10 km, last 30 km, etc., although that is of course in Flemish.

Cycling.tv costs $30 for 3 months; they posted their schedule today: http://cycling.tv/  I am not sure who is doing their commentary but I assume it's in English.

I think that any time you want to watch an event non-live you'll have to avoid some of the Internet; steephill.tv is good about providing "non-spoiler" coverage of an event, e.g. when you go to that event's page, it won't say who won unless you look around pretty hard or click on "spoiler version."

I might give Cycling.tv a try for 3 months; the one-day races sort of end with Liege-Bastogne-Liege on April 22.  Their web site says they'll have Tour de France coverage but I'll believe that when I see it.  (I paid for a subscription a couple years ago and then they lost (or never got) the rights to most of the races I wanted to see.)
