Favorite race?
What's your favorite professional race to watch on tv or read about on the internet or magazines? For me, the first Sunday in April every year is very special, it's better than Christmas actually. Why? De Ronde van Vlaanderen!! Tour of Flanders!! Runner up is Paris-Roubaix seven days later.

Re: Favorite race?
We don't see much European Racing here in SA. If they broadcast it via satellite (DSTV), then we'll see it, otherwise, forget it. >
 We did get a major TDF broadcast this year. Almost four hours a day! I recorded many of the stages and watch them again and again. I still have the vid where Ullrich rode over into the ditch, and where Lance gave him the "look" and then accelerated away.

Re: Favorite race?
We only get TdF highlights over here
However, I was able to watch in-depth coverage of the Vuelta since we get Spanish TV on cable. Was also able to watch good coverage of the Giro during my visit to the US where they get OLN (lucky people!). Judging from what I've read, I'm pretty sure the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix would be a blast to watch! |

Re: Favorite race?
You poor people :'( It's a shame that you can't see the spring classics on tv in your countries, they're simply the best! Flanders, Roubaix, Liègè, San Remo, Amstel, Het Volk.....

Re: Favorite race?
[rant] I can tell you why we don't get to see these races, but I'll refrain [/rant] >

Re: Favorite race?
Should have seen the press here in the UK when home boy Robert Millar won the Tour of Denmark! No-one even knew it existed before :
.PS: I would like to point out I'm a South African in the UK....  |
