So I have no shame in telling you that it’s currently 11am, and I’m stilling in front of the box eating breakfast. You can only work so many 14 hour days, and eventually (and especially if you work for yourself) you crack. Granted, I’ve been up since 9, but I’m having a lazy morning and there ain’t nothin’ anyone can do about it.

Part of the motivation to even getting up this morning is I finally tracked down a torrent of the 2007 Paris Roubaix, which was held last weekend.

Yes I’m perfectly aware it’s techincally bad to download torrents. I don’t know where this French coverage is from, whether it’s free-to-air or pay-tv, and to be honest, I don’t really care. The alternative is to wait 2 weeks or more before SBS has their half hour special, or watch the 20 second coverage on the news.

What’s a cycling fan to do? He downloads the frikken thing. So sue me. Either provide what I want in some form…..any form…..or I’ll go find it myself.

There’s something cool about watching cycling with French commentary. It seems kinda right somehow. I think maybe because it’s one big melodrama, kinda like the French themselves.

Oh, some Aussie called Aaron Kemp just fell off. Who the heck is that?

Yeah well anyway, I should get back to watching the thing.

SBS, if you’re reading this, 30 minutes coverage weeks after the fact in this world of instant information just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Pull yer finger out!
