- Tomorrow's Tour de France Stage 12 departs Lavelanet at 13:25 CET (7:25am U.S. Eastern) and is expected in Narbonne between 17:05 and 17:26 CET (11:05 and 11:26am U.S. Eastern).  Tour de France live video streaming on Eurosport is scheduled to begin at 14:00 CET (8am U.S. Eastern).


- The Eurosport (German, channelsurfing) feed is now playing the race live.  As always, you can mute the audio if necessary and open a separate window for your audio commentary in the language of your choice.



- Breaking news:  Moises Dueñas Nevado (Barloworld), in 19th place after Stage 10, has tested positive for EPO.  (Source Reuters/L'Equipe.)  This would be the second EPO positive of this year's Tour after Manuel Beltran (Liquigas).  Update:  Police authorities are on their way to the hotel of the Barloworld team.  Story is up at the IHT here .

- The big "news" that everyone is discussing today is the death of the ProTour.  We announced the death of the ProTour all last year.  Yesterday, all 17 ProTour teams at this year's Tour de France voted not to renew their licenses in 2009.  No surprise there at all.  What is surprising is how long it took the media to catch on.  Cyclingnews wondered as recently as 12 days ago if the UCI could save the ProTour.  Huh?  What do people not understand about the word "dead"?  The NYTimes has the story here .

- Today's Tour de France Stage 11 departs Lannemezan at 12:45 CET (6:45am U.S. Eastern) and is expected in Foix between 16:50 and 17:17 CET (10:50 and 11:17am U.S. Eastern).  Tour de France live video streaming on Eurosport is scheduled to begin at 14:00 CET (8am U.S. Eastern).  Note that there is a 15 minute live program on Eurosport at 12:15 CET (6:15am U.S. Eastern) called "Tour de France: Km 0".
