I guess those start times are local Beijing time. Hopefully NBC will cover the race in its entirety, sometime 12-15 hours later…

Go get ‘em guys. I have been rooting for you since the TDF. It is too bad I did not know of you before that. Count on my prayers through this event.

Hey, let us know about the air quality; would you please? That has to be a huge factor.

The video is streamed online of the events live, then highlights are posted. It would be nice if NBC did not lock the rights up totally and the public was not at the mercy of the big network that decides what events are sutable for us to watch. Let us know about the airquality when you are out of Chinese airspace, I would hate any riders, coaches, mechanics, ect being imprisoned in China for being critical of the enviroment and the Governments lack of care for the health of the people or the planet.
