Great promo clip! Makes me want to get out there and do Monte Carpegna. It's great they're including some sterrata as well. We loved doing our Emilia-Romagna tour and are sad the interest in it has waned to the point we no longer include it on our regular schedule.
ReplyDeleteI tried to subscribe to this race on Universal Sports, but as a non-American they won't let me. Something about licensing rights outside the USA but no broadcaster in my country is broadcasting this race so Universal really should make the effort to accommodate cycling fans outside the USA!
ReplyDeleteRobbin: I think this comment regards the Strade Binache race on Saturday. One the race starts go to www.cyclingfans.com and see if they have picked up a feed; they might also pickup a feed later in the race so keep trying... www.cyclingfans.com is a great site to find feeds...
ReplyDeletesteephilltv is good too.
