Check this site out http://www.steephill.tv/2007/giro-d-italia/

I came across it last night. Your best chance of watching some of the Giro, however similar to P-R it's all in Italian. Luckily during the live coverage you can listen to Eurosport commentry (English) and watch RAI coverage. Quality could be better, but we can't have everything. At least it's more interesting than the Cyclingnews text updates.

I for one would like to say thank you for destroying my sleep patterns at nights for the next two weeks...

Just noticed, Live Video only seems to be for the last 1hr. I have a program to download the Archived footage, but i'm wondering if the quality is good enough. Well, i had a program, i'll find it again, but first i'll see if there's a torrent somewhere with better quality footage. Still need to download the other Classics as well.

Ghent-wevelgem should be next on the list. That was a hell bent crazy race this year. With some the best crashes classics can bring. Flanders has to be up there too....

I havn't had any luck with tv or radio coverage of the Giro, but I've found this site more useful than cyclingnews.

Seems pretty good. The TV coverage i put the link to only really starts in the last hour of the race, which means you'd have to stay up fairly late to watch it.

Well, that was an exciting Giro stage. I was hoping Schleck could pull off the win, but Di Luca was just too powerful. Time to get back to the things i need to do.
