No Giro on Versus this year. Bummer.
But, if you have highspeed internet and the opportunity - you can still watch live racing (without commercials in some cases!). Thanks to my buddy Brandon at the Beaverton Bike Gallery for the head's-up on this one.
Head over to steephill.tv. They've re-configured their homepage to accomodate all the Giro traffic they're getting - but if you click the front-and-center photo (the one that looks like Alberto Contador stage-diving off the podium...) it will take you to their Giro homepage. There's a link for "Live Coverage" at the bottom left of the Contador photo on that page. Clicking there will take you to a page that has a bunch of different streaming options for the live video feed.
I've bounced around between the RAI Italian feed and the Universal English-language feed. The feeds labeled "unrestricted" have no commercials.
I'll also usually open up VeloNews.com's live text updates as I enjoy some of the witty commentary by Andrew Hood.
By the way...come back early next week for a BIG NEWS UPDATE. Changes are on the horizon.
Thanks for dropping by.
Matt.
