- Brad emailed regarding my mention after Stage 2 of David Soul of Starsky and Hutch fame (the French love the series and Direct8 should be showing it later today): "I was hoping there'd be a musical link to David Soul's 'Don't Give Up On Us'".  I think he was joking, but guess what, "The Very Best of David Soul" was released last fall.  I didn't know he had any other songs.  I know you will all keep coming to cyclingfans.com for hot music tips.  -Pete

- Stage 2 has ended but if you want to watch re-runs of Starsky et Hutch dubbed in French, Direct8 has it each day at 19:45 CET (1:45pm U.S. Eastern).  Many French celebrities mention this series when asked what their favorite TV show is!  And David Soul (who played Hutch) lived for a time in the 1990s on a Seine river boat near the Eiffel Tower, before settling in London and adding British citizenship.  Where else but cyclingfans.com can you get this vital information?  -Pete

- IB3 TV feed may be geo-restricted.  (Not playing in Chicago or U.K.). Direct8 should be viewable worldwide, however. (Alternative link should open in media player with a bit larger video.)
