Notes:

- Tomorrow's Stage 2 of Three Days of De Panne starts at 11:05 CET (5:05am U.S. Eastern).  Live coverage on the cycling.tv premium channel is scheduled to begin at 14:20 CET (8:20am U.S. Eastern).


- Three Days of De Panne live coverage:  live video streaming is now playing on the cycling.tv premium channel .  They haven't updated their main page with the broadcast time but it is playing, and you will need to be logged in.  The Three Days of De Panne live tickers are also active.


- Troyes-Dijon (elite amateur race) was held on Sunday.  France 3 regional television news have some video coverage in their Sunday, March 30 evening edition (Dimanche 30 Mars) here from 13:42 into the program to 15:57.  (Be sure you are viewing the Dimanche 30 Mars edition as the links tend to rotate daily and remember, these videos are only archived for about a week.)  -Bernie S.

- Sport+ on French cable is showing "Trois Jours de La Panne" live this week.  Today's broadcast starts at 15:30 CET.


- Okay, so say "KBC-Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde" three times real fast...

- We wanted to put together some crazy April Fool's stories for today, with headlines like "UCI to sue Dick Pound for saying mean things," but these things are actually happening!

In case you missed it, Hein Verbruggen conceded defeat to A.S.O. the other day.  He said:  "I lost, but it's less my defeat than the defeat of cycling."  Which is why we've referred to the UCI president (Pat McQuaid officially has the title) as "Hein McQuaid" and at least as far back as October 16, 2006 suggested that Verbruggen, as UCI vice-president, was still pulling the strings.  So in lieu of new April Fool's material, we refer you to our October 16, 2006 piece, "From Power Meters to PowerPoint".  Here are the first two Floyd Landis-inspired UCI PowerPoint slides, which were leaked to us:



Click on the graphic or here for the rest of the UCI PowerPoint slides.

Poor Pat McQuaid, what a miserable situation he's found himself in.

- cycling.tv live video streaming of today's Stage 1 of Three Days of De Panne should start at around 15:00 CET (9am U.S. Eastern).

- sportwereld.be ticker looks to start at around 14:30 CET (8:30am U.S. Eastern), feltet.dk ticker at 15:00 CET (9am U.S. Eastern).  (Thanks, Jørgen in Denmark.)

- Danilo Di Luca skips his doping hearing .  Doh!

Live race coverage below for:  De Brabantse Pijl (La Flèche Brabançonne or Brabant Arrow), Criterium International, and UCI Track Worlds

2008 Criterium International:
Sunday Stages 1 and 2

Revin (cyclingfans.com) - There was a little sun here this morning when the peloton crossed the Meuse (photo below).  Rain is predicted for this afternoon.  Mobile modem internet connection is very slow in the hills of the Ardennes today, so higher resolution photos will be posted later.  Next update hopefully before this afternoon's time trial.

Second update:  Can French cycling be revived?

Revin (cyclingfans.com) - There was a protest this morning (over local elimination of jobs) that stopped Stage 2 of the race cold for about 30 minutes.  The sun was long gone and it was raining by the time the riders got up on Mont Malgré Tout.

I fear for the future of the Criterium International.  Except for this afternoon's time trial, even in France there is no live television coverage of this event.  Though that has been the norm in recent years, unlike in the past I have yet to see a helicopter here this year.  More shocking, there were very few spectators on Mont Malgré Tout compared to recent years.

Unfortunately, few french youth dream of becoming pro cyclists these days.  It is obviously a very tough sport and of course the issue of doping hasn't helped.  Kids see sports like football (soccer) and tennis as having a better future and requiring less effort than cycling.  So French cycling for years has had a reduced pool of talent to draw from.  And the riders who do turn pro have been criticized (by Bernard Hinault and Cyril Guimard among others), justifiably so in my opinion, for not training seriously enough.  For example, I have looked through my photo archives and have not seen any evidence that any French rider uses an SRM power meter on their bike, unlike top pros from other nations.  I believe it was Cyril Guimard who commented a year or so ago that French riders HAVEN'T used them.  How can that be?!  They need more support in using such tools.

How much do SRM power meters really help?  Well, consider this:  The latest issue of Vélo Magazine, which just hit newsstands this past week, mentions that the Cofidis team of Sylvain Chavanel has finally started using SRM power meters this season.  And you may have noticed that Chavanel is off to his best season start ever.  The feedback you get from using such tools and comparing your past and present results seems to have been a revelation for Chavanel, given his comments in Vélo Magazine.

But is it too little, too late to revive French cycling?  I sure hope not.  This sport needs some successes from French riders.  The future of smaller A.S.O. events like the Criterium International may depend on it.

Time now to get to this afternoon's time trial...

Live tickers:



- In our cycling via satellite blog , MJ Ray says "Enough of that cycling on wood in Manchester ... there’s a lot of road cycling to watch this weekend."  He has posted information for satellite viewing of today's GP de l'E3 and tomorrow's La Flèche Brabançonne, Criterium International time trial and more for those of you lucky enough to have satellite coverage.


- Today's E3 Prijs Vlaanderen is underway too (see live tickers above) with your classics guys and sprinters such as Tom Boonen, Stijn Devolder, Gert Steegmans, Leif Hoste, Stuart O'Grady, Fabian Cancellara, Thor Hushovd, Bernhard Eisel, Roger Hammond, Filippo Pozzato, Alessandro Ballan, Juan Antonio Flecha, Oscar Freire, Tom Steels, Baden Cooke, etc.  Entirely different set of riders compared to today's Criterium International.  There aren't enough races on the calendar to keep all that talent happy.

- 2008 Criterium International is underway.  (See live ticker.)  There is an impressive start list for this race:  Defending and 3-time champion Jens Voigt, two-time champion Bobby Julich, the Schleck brothers, Alejandro Valverde, Alexandre Botcharov, Robert Gesink, Damiano Cunego, Juan Mauricio Soler, Felix Cardenas, David Zabriskie, Magnus Backstedt, David Millar, to name a few.  And as Kristen wrote in to remind us the other day: one of the revelations of this year's Paris-Nice, Clément Lhotellerie of the Skil-Shimano team.

- As noted yesterday, we are not optimistic regarding live video or audio streaming of this weekend's Criterium International.  If something does turn up, we will of course post it here.  But it is very  likely that the only live coverage available will be the official site live tickers.  If you are in France or have satellite coverage of French television, France 3 is scheduled to broadcast live coverage of the final stage Sunday afternoon.   If you have access to Versus, they will be showing a one-hour Criterium International highlights show on Sunday.  Click our Versus Schedule link at left to check broadcast time.

On tomorrow:  E3 Prijs Vlaanderen Live and Criterium International
On Sunday:  Criterium International and De Brabantse Pijl Live (La Flèche Brabançonne or Brabant Arrow)
2008 Criterium International:
Eve of Stage 1

Paris  - The 2008 Criterium International starts tomorrow, featuring as usual three stages over two days:  a Saturday stage designed for the sprinters, followed on Sunday by a morning stage in the hills of the French Ardennes and an afternoon individual time trial stage.

This is one of my favorite races to cover.  I've already said that about Paris-Nice and no doubt will say that about other races this season.  Each race brings something different and in the case of the CI, packing three stages into two days of sprinting, climbing and time trialing is a great chance to see who is on form in these different disciplines.

This race has been owned in recent years by Team CSC, with German Jens Voigt winning in 2004 and 2007, American Bobby Julich winning in 2005, and Italian Ivan Basso winning in 2006.

Julich is also on record as the 1998 winner after race winner Frenchman Christophe Moreau of Festina was stripped of his victory for doping.  (The doping positive, however, didn't keep Moreau out of the Tour that year, the year of the Festina Affair....though perhaps I should have mentioned that in the "Dark Edition" of "Breakfast at the Races" to the right...)

Voigt also won in 1999 and thus will be going this weekend for his 4th overall victory.  The Criterium International is perfect for a "puncheur" like Voigt or all-rounder like Julich.  Voigt and Julich, good friends, together have won five of the past ten editions.

This is the 8th consecutive year the Criterium International will be held in the Ardennes.

Unfortunately, race coverage for CI is limited.  France 3 will have live coverage Sunday afternoon.  We will look for a live stream but are not optimistic.  There should be live tickers, however.

With a 3G mobile modem and a good signal, I should be able to report in from tomorrow's start town of Signy-le-Petit as well as the finish town of Charleville-Mezieres.  If I get a chance, I will post some photos from roadside.

2008 Criterium International:
Eve of Stage 1

Dark Edition

Paris  - I am deeply saddened to learn from Fotoreporter Sirotti today via email that another former pro cyclist has been found dead.  Valentino Fois, 34, who rode for the late Marco Pantani, was found dead this morning by his mother.  Though the cause of death is not yet clear, Fois, who in 2002 was suspended for doping, reportedly was receiving treatment for depression and cocaine addiction.

Bernard Sainz (aka "Docteur Mabuse") trial

Bernard Sainz , (link goes to French Wikipedia - do not follow link if you do not want to know who his patients were) known as "Docteur Mabuse" and accused of trafficking and administering doping products to cyclists, went on trial in Paris this week and yesterday the prosecutor asked for a three-year prison term with at least 18 months firm.

Sainz, seen at races in recent years shaking many a hand and also seen, invitation in hand, at the 2007 Tour de France route presentation at the Palais des Congres in Paris, will know his fate April 11.

Starting Wednesday:  UCI Track Cycling World Championships Live, Weekend:  Criterium International
Notes:

- The Vuelta a Castilla y Leon live video streaming and webcast have begun.  Demand is high so some stream buffering is inevitable.  Perhaps they will increase their server capacity.  Should be a great race this week.  Also, see link below after the stage for race photos and video clips.


- First riders should have departed by now in the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon Stage 1 time trial.  Again, the live video and webcast is scheduled to begin at 15:30 CET (10:30am U.S. Eastern).


- Race flash info:  Today's Tour of Cologne has been cancelled due to snow everywhere on the route.  - Bernie S.

- There should be a daily gallery of Castilla photos, audio and video clips here .

- The Google translations for Vuelta a Castilla y Leon should be fun, providing us with some great rider nicknames for the remainder of the season and beyond.  "The Accountant" (Contador) is a longtime favorite at cyclingfans.com and we discovered "Windy" (Ventoso) last year.

- Also on today:   Rund um Köln (Tour of Cologne)

- The Tour of Normandy begins today and runs through March 30.  There should be daily France 3 television clips posted here .
