Notes:  (latest notes always appear at the top)

- What's the fastest way to see photos from today's stage of Paris-Nice?  Check our Yahoo photo gallery link at the bottom of the gray section at right; there are already photos of Alberto Contador in the yellow jersey at this morning's stage start.  Sometimes, AP photographers send in action shots from the road mid-stage, just as our own Tour of California photo team did last month.

- If you are joining us for the first time, you've come to the right place for following pro cycling year-round.  We put live internet cycling coverage just a click away.  Various broadcasters won't tell you about each other but we'll tell you about them all.  Now in our 5th season, with live coverage correspondents in the U.S. and Europe.

- Watching a live video feed for which you do not understand the spoken language?  Just mute the sound and then play a Eurosport audio feed (in "Live audio streaming" section at right) in the language of your choice.
