- Pick the winner of today's Tour de Georgia Stage 5 to Brasstown Bald Mountain and win a box set of Tour de France photos: "The most beautiful photos that have appeared in L'Equipe".  Now, we don't hesitate to criticize the French sports daily when we believe it is warranted but we should also give them praise when it is deserved.  And no one has a richer collection of Tour de France photography than L'Equipe and its predecessor, l'Auto, which created the Tour.   Armstrong , Merckx, Hinault , Anquetil , Coppi , Bartali ....all the greats in the history of the Tour de France are here in this box set of L'Equipe photos.   Email your pick to the editor here .  To be considered, picks must be sent in no later than 2:30pm U.S. Eastern (20:30 CET).  In the event of multiple winning picks, we will select at random the individual who will win this box set of Tour de France photos.  One pick per person please.  Good luck!

- Yesterday's Tour de Georgia individual time trial saw American Levi Leipheimer of Discovery Channel taking the win ahead of David Zabriskie (Team CSC) and Nathan O'Neill (Health Net presented by Maxxis).  Thomas Danielson (Discovery Channel) was fourth, followed by Dominique Cornu (Predictor-Lotto), David Millar (Saunier Duval-Prodir), Danny Pate (Team Slipstream), George Hincapie (Discovery Channel), Brian Vandborg (Discovery Channel) and Ben Day , rounding out the top 10, of Navigators Insurance Cycling Team.

Janez Brajkovic of Discovery Channel finished the time trial in 11th place which was good enough to take the overall race lead, just 12 seconds ahead of Christian Vandevelde (Team CSC).   Rubens Bertogliati (Saunier Duval-Prodir) is third overall at 1:22 heading into today's stage to Brasstown Bald Mountain.


- Tour de Georgia live video streaming has begun with the start of today's tough stage to Brasstown Bald Mountain .   Such live coverage virtually never happens from the stage start with races in Europe.  Of course, there is no audio at the moment, the video stream is low resolution, and jumpy, but it's better than nothing.  Let's hope this race is around next year.  Let the sponsors know you appreciated having some coverage and maybe it will be.


- Stage 5 of the Tour de Georgia will begin today at 11:00am U.S. Eastern (17:00 CET).  The estimated finish time is between 3:09pm to 3:55pm U.S. Eastern.

- Yesterday's Stage 3 of the Tour de Georgia, won by Gianni Meersman of Discovery Channel, really shook things up in the race for the overall.  As David Canada (Saunier Duval-Prodir) put on the jersey of race leader, the peloton which contained all the pre-race favorites like Tom Danielson and Levi Leipheimer came in a whopping 29 minutes behind the time of Meersman.  The favorites will now have to look for stage wins in today's individual time trial and tomorrow's stage to Brasstown Bald Mountain.


- The Tour de Georgia live video streaming for today's time trial seems to be working pretty well at the moment.  There is no audio yet, however.

- Tour de Georgia live video streaming is working better today.  Will the video and audio arrive at the finish at the same time?  There is some exciting attacking going on right now on the last climb...


- Velonews apparently have a problem with their ticker addressing.  Today you can find it here .  We have also updated this link in our Live Guide.



- Tour de Georgia "live" video streaming:  Yesterday's video streaming arrived at the finish line over an hour after the peloton, missing the time cut.  The video streaming has thus been eliminated from the race.  Okay, not very funny.  We'll see how it goes today.

- Yesterday's Stage 2 of the Tour de Georgia was won by Ivan Stevic (Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team) ahead of Juan José Haedo (Team CSC) and Fred Rodriguez (Predictor-Lotto).   (Tinkoff Credit Systems) remains race leader heading into today's stage.

Tuesday, April 17, 2007

Notes:

- Also on Wednesday:  Scheldeprijs Vlaanderen . Live Ticker

- Wednesday's Stage 3 of the Tour de Georgia gets underway at 12pm U.S. Eastern (18:00 CET)


- Race audio commentary has kicked in.  A little rough at the moment...


- At roughly 3:30pm U.S. Eastern (21:30 CET), the Tour de Georgia live video stream finally kicked in.  So we have video but no audio commentary at the moment.  The "Race Radio" audio stream (separate from race commentary) supposedly will kick in during the last hour of the race.


- Tour de Georgia Tour Tracker update:  As of 1:10pm U.S. Eastern (19:10 CET), the video cameras at the Tour de Georgia are "not rolling at all" according to Adobe.  Thus, no live streaming video yet.  (Thanks for the update, Allan.)  Stay tuned...

- Race news:  At Paris-Camembert today, Sébastien Joly (Française des Jeux) took the win ahead of Anthony Charteau and Benoit Vaugrenard.  This race isn't what it used to be and hasn't had much publicity since Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow were there in 2005...  (Paris-Camembert doesn't actually start in Paris...but then, it doesn't finish in Camembert either!)  It was at Paris-Camembert in 2005 that Armstrong announced he would make an important announcement at that year's Tour de Georgia (his retirement following the Tour de France).  French sports daily L'EQUIPE naturally had to send a reporter to Georgia in the middle of the spring classics in Europe and weren't happy about it.

- Stage 2 of the Tour de Georgia is underway.  The broadcast team is getting set up to bring you live video.  Meanwhile, the Cyclingnews ticker has gone live.

- Daniele Contrini (Tinkoff Credit Systems) won yesterday's stage one and is thus race leader.

Stage 1 Live Coverage Problems Explained

It was frustrating, to say the least, following the race yesterday via the Tour de Georgia Tour Tracker .  Some of you may have seen a little live video here and there, heard a little live audio here and there.  For others, not a frame of video was seen, not a blip of audio was heard.

Cyclingfans.com checked in with Adobe, developer of the Tour Tracker, post-race to find out what went wrong with the first-day race coverage.

First of all, understand that the problems were as frustrating for those trying to bring you the race as it was for cycling fans trying to follow along.  Also, it bears repeating that never before has live race coverage tried to do so much.  (Some might argue too much, while others are happy with all the information...when it is all available.)  The organizers of the Tour of California and Tour de Georgia have literally left Tour de France organizer Amaury Sport Organization (ASO) in the Paris-Roubaix dust in this department.   Giro d'Italia organizer RCS Sport at least makes some low bandwidth live video streams available each year on its web site.  For ASO, organizer of the biggest and richest event in the sport, live coverage on the internet still means text updates.

So what were the problems in yesterday's stage 1 of the Tour de Georgia?  Adobe told cyclingfans.com that there was no audio or video available for the first half of the stage simply because the broadcasters were not broadcasting .  Then, during the first half of the remainder of the race, the broadcast truck had no internet connection .  We all know what that's like.  Then, once the truck got connected to the internet, the production team may have used the wrong video encoding settings .  Live and learn.  Adding to those problems, the servers hosting the Tour Tracker were overwhelmed , resulting perhaps in half of cycling fans never seeing anything at all and coverage dropping out for those who had seen something.  The server hosts have promised to fix that according to Adobe.

Now if those issues can be addressed for today's Stage 2, Adobe is confident that its Tour Tracker application is ready to bring you the race.   Look for an interview with the man behind the Tour Tracker, a cyclist himself, right here later this week...

- Stage 2 of the Tour de Georgia will begin today at 11:00am U.S. Eastern (17:00 CET)

Notes:

- Tour de Georgia Tour Tracker update:  We just contacted Adobe who tell us that audio is not being sent to the broadcast truck.  More info as we get it...


- The Tour de Georgia Tour Tracker is slowly starting to come to life, though we have yet to see any live video or hear any audio.  This is a very sophisticated, "bleeding edge" application that needs to access and integrate all kinds of multimedia information in real time, attempting to do what no one has yet done to this extent and with this level of integration with live cycling coverage on the internet .  We must be patient, they will get things working.  We regret though that in the meantime there is no plain vanilla live video stream outside the context of the Tour Tracker.  We will ask if something like that can be arranged.  Stay tuned...


- The 2007 Tour de Georgia is underway but we are waiting for the live video.  Meanwhile, France's controversial anti-doping lab, the Laboratoire National de Dépistage du Dopage (LNDD) began re-testing the samples of 2006 Tour de France (and Tour de Georgia) winner Floyd Landis for about the hundredth time today; they reportedly will spend about 10 days on it.  Is Jerry Lewis still working at LNDD?


- We have just added the Velonews Tour de Georgia live ticker to our Live Guide.


- The Versus 2007 Paris-Roubaix highlights and interviews are now up, available via our archive video clips section above.  Also, you can re-live portions of the 2006 Tour de Georgia.


- It is now 12:36pm U.S. Eastern (18:36 CET) and the 2007 Tour de Georgia should get underway in less than 30 minutes.

- We have added the cyclingnews live ticker to our Tour de Georgia Live Guide.  More links to come...


- Our next Tour de Georgia race update here, with more links and info, will be before the race start.

- For those of you joining us here for the first time: we publish our Guides to Live Race Coverage all season long for races big and small.  We also post cycling photos, wallpapers and information and links throughout the season and off-season.

- You can listen to a recording of the Tour de Georgia pre-race press conference and view an interview with 2005 race winner, American Tom Danielson , here .

- Stage 1 of the Tour de Georgia will begin today at 1:00pm U.S. Eastern (19:00 CET)
