- Tomorrow's Giro d'Italia Stage 5 departs Belvedere Marittimo at 12:00 CET (6am U.S. Eastern) and is expected in Contursi Terme between 16:57 and 17:29 CET (10:57 and 11:29am U.S. Eastern).  Giro live online coverage on cycling.tv and elsewhere should get underway from 15:00 CET (9am U.S. Eastern).

- Raise your hand if you've ever played Tetris while supposedly working.  (Airline pilots and surgeons...we don't want to know, thank you.)

- Regarding the Eurosport live audio stream in English, what works for us is to play the alternative RAI stream (which is embedded in a web page) with the sound muted, then to play the Eurosport UK live audio feed in your media player.  Not ideal because there is heavy buffering on the alternative RAI stream.  You can of course just listen to the live audio feed, particularly useful for people unable to watch video of the race in their work environment.  (Not that anyone would actually follow the Giro while working, right?)  We're always on the lookout for better solutions...

- Regarding Eurosport live audio streams:  Dawn in Texas wrote in to ask if Eurosport is now blocking U.S. access to the Eurosport UK audio stream.   Though the Eurosport UK feed doesn't currently work for us here in Chicago either, at this time we do not think this is a geo-restrictions issue as one of our UK correspondents, Bernie S., reports the feed isn't working for him either.  There have been similar temporary issues with the audio feeds in the past, apparently on the Yahoo side of the Eurosport/Yahoo partnership.  (The Deutsch, Espanol and Italiano feeds do not work for us either at the moment).   The Eurosport France feed, however, IS working just fine.  But they are outside of the Eurosport/Yahoo partnership, another sign this could be a technical issue with Yahoo.  We are monitoring the situation and also are exploring a possible alternative for Eurosport english commentary.  Will keep you all posted.
