Our TDF combo player 1 is back online, this time with Eurosport Germany
video (and Eurosport English audio). (Replaces the old combo player
1 that used Sputnik which is no longer available worldwide.)
- The
Justin.tv Eurosport UK feed is also playing today's stage live.
- CSC has put their entire team on the front and have taken advantage of
crosswinds to blow apart the peloton, just like they did on the way to Montargis
at the 2004 Paris-Nice. (I was at the finish line in Montargis that
day and was shocked to see the small group containing the entire CSC team.)
When there are strong crosswinds, there is limited space on the road
for riders to seek shelter from the wind behind riders in front. Gaps
open, they can be difficult to close and small groups form all along the
route.

Live coverage has also begun on
France 2, with Laurent Fignon in the studio and Laurent Jalabert on the moto.
