About Time I Post This : Links to Watch Cycling

The Tour de France has inspired me to finally post these links that I use when I really want to watch a cycling event.  More specifically the 5th stage of the Tour de France has inspired me.  I'm a fan of the day classics and well the 5th stage is taking it's route through several of the cobbles common to Paris-Roubaix.  GCN (global cycling network) put up a good video on Youtube discussing the cobbles.  There are some slow shots that are pretty telling of the torture the riders bodies will endure.  Anyway back to the links.  If I really want to watch a cycling event I have my go to site.  It's www.cyclingfans.com every now and again there won't be coverage of a race but usually there is.  I was watching Kittel take down Kristoff this morning ( I like Kittel but I would have liked to see Kristoff win) and I'll be watching tomorrow morning as they cross the cobbles!  There is another link that has some cycling for bigger events but is actually a good place to watch most other sporting events and it is www.livetv.ru .  or I guess for all of you non-Russian speakers http://livetv.sx/en/  .   Hope these help.  And I hope everyone can get out and ride!
