Tour of California - On Live FREE - on Internet

still a few hours to run of FINAL STAGE so check it out if you can get a
decent broadband connection

http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com...er2/index.html

click on the live coverage link

it overlays on the course and has voice over and text commenatray too
plus current images... a pretty cool interface (sign of things to come
for TdF?)

sound quality is a bit suss, but the image , although a small screen is
pretty clear and at least is "live" vision, three Aussies in the
breakaway of 8 and building a gap....2'35" Karl Menzies, Adam Hansen,
Sean Sullivan...

It wasn't all that bad...the usual US media approach of interspersing
commentary with interviewing their own people, sponsors and producers,
but the little live video screen was manageable. Not a bad
format...they hinted they would be doing this format again at other
events (Milan Sanremo and Tour of Georgia) so we may hear more...it
involved Yahoo and Adobe so maybe it will continue to be free too...

Good to see big Karl go for it alone at the end, he was strong, but too
far out from the last Kilos at the catch.
