Anyone watch the Vuelta? Currently watching the Tour of Britain?

The route for the 2013 Centenary tour has been revealed. It's going to be brutal.

I'm really sad that you lot don't seem to follow any of the other classic races. Is it because there's no significant/winning American presence?

I was just looking at Tour of Britain. Day one at 123 miles and under 5 hour completion. Dang.

Ooooh I hope you follow it to the end, if it's all still available to watch online. You get to see much of our countryside.

I was at the finish in Blackpool for one of the latter stages.

I think that the only thing left available to watch are some clips... which are great to watch too. Would have loved to see some of the live coverage!

I loved the daily live coverage. It was awesome to see Wiggins and Cav ride, amongst others.

I tend to miss the live coverage. One time I was on a bike trip during TDF and kept stopping at local pubs/sports bars for meals because I knew they'd have the race on and I could catch snippets.
It's cyclocross season though so I need to get to some of that for live action!
