I can watch it.

RTVE is about the best way for me to keep up on TV.

He is improving, but relative to what? - it sounds like a tough period still ahead, but he is equally tough and will work to make it, so fingers crossed for the future and prayers when you can.

On the subject and on Dakar Eve ( I like that one ) and before the mayhem of the next two weeks+, just another thought for the others who should also be there but aren't - Kemel, who I'm sure will be there in spirit and Marc and Sam, who will be back next year and in between without a doubt.

Now for the present - BRING IT ON

Yes he must have had a helluva crash. Im just glad Zanol is out of a coma to be honest.This is really good news, thanks Flood! - I was really beginning to get concerned with the lack of news.

Steaming a bit slow, at least from here, but you can pause and let it buffer some more for better viewing.

Enjoy!

EXCELLENTset of interviews!!!

This stuff is pure gold, thanks for the link.

Joan B is a very modest and unassuming guy, I am backing him for a win this year for sure. Interesting that he mentioned Matt Fish as someone he would be watching.

Really nice to hear Juan Pederero's thoughts: He is hungry for a podium place this year but I got the impression he thought Barreda was going to be hard to beat.

Still, I hope Nasser wins!

Speaking of scrutineering BlacknBluebull...

Im pleased to report our team have migrated over to the latter. The problem with the catheta is that the tubes get caught everytime I lift my leg over the keyboard.

The drugs have been reduced today so I think the preparation for the start was very well planned by team managment.

Right that's it, I'm sulking now. I'm off on a canoe trip for the weekend instead of watching the start.
