Mine is working just fine. I even have video. 
mine is working, no video though
5 riders near the summit of the first climb.
The peleton (down to about 40) 5 minutes behind lead by Discovery, Ruberia, Beltran and Noval (surprise he is still there). Big names all still in place.
Voigt is yo yoing off the back but unless the pace gets up he should make it. Mayo got spit out the back sometime ago.

I can't get eurosport to open an audio link, dammit! :mumble:
That means more reading for me at the moment until it's up. Here was a quote off their written live coverage that caught my eye:
Floyd Landis and Santiago Botero on the front of the peloton. The American rubs it in a bit, riding with no hands while he cleans his sunglasses. Show-off. As for Botero - he soon can join out list of illustrious pony-tailed men in the peloton. The Colombian's shaggy hair is long enough to edge out of his helmet now, but it's not a scrape on his impressive chest/back/shoulder carpet - the Phonak man is truly one very hairy beast of a cyclist.

Voigt is on and off. Looks like his day in yellow will be just that, one day.
Check out mullet boy leading the stage:
VOIGHTS back up but mayo is off the back, maybe he'll catch back up on the down.
"Pierro and Jakshe are flying down the hill... clocked at 105kph right now. "
Holy cow that's scary fast!

ahahah i just got this update
'At the front, Laurent Brochard is off on his own. He may have started the day in 49th place, but as far as we can tell, he is highest ranked guy with a mullet in the Tour '
They should have a jersey for that, or maybe a special color Members Only jacket.The Toninator said:
Hit the EuroSport site again and give it 3-4 min to load...

Yaroslav Popovych has punctured and crashed on the descent; he's back up and on the bike, though.
Crashing at that speed can't be fun. Another one got his jacket caught in the wheel but he got stopped.

15:37 - Popovych Crashes
Yaroslav Popovych has crashed on the descent of the Cormet-de-Roseland. He is said to have hit the CSC team car. Hes back on his bike and racing to try and rejoin the main peloton.
15:39 - Diesel On The Descent
Some diesel is on the road between the 112 and 114km mark of the stage. It has been covered by sand but it has the potential to make the descent dangerous but the riders have been warned about the problem.
15:52 CEST
Popovych is back in the bunch and grinning cheerfully for the TV cameras; his left shoulder is well muddied up.
To be young and bulletproof.

this guy donalded you 'Brochard has been joined by Luis Sanchez. One reader wrote in with the suggestion that the Tour awards a jersey to the best-placed mullet in the Tour, by the way. Sponsored by Lynard Skynard, the "Freebird" jersey would be awarded using a complex formula based on the relationship of hair in front and back and overall time. 'Westy said:
If they were really thinking, put him in orange and slap 01 on him and do a cross promotion for the Dukes of Hazzard.The Toninator said:

Telekom and CSC are sitting comfortably en masse behind the Discovery express, which is pulling back the leaders at a rate that suggests that they'll be caught before the climb.

Jumping the peloton would then seem apropriate.DRB said:

I'm On, I'm On!!!!
22 km Jens Voigt in much difficulty at the back of the peloton, which are now riding just 1'30" behind the leaders. Moreau will be feeling confident. If he can keep up with Armstrong on this final climb, he'll be in yellow tonight providing the German finishes over 1'50" back...
beloki is with the CG group, yeah!!!! I hope he can just stick with it, maybe he can get top form back after a really nice showing.
19 km What a strategy by Discovery! They are riding so fast the whole peloton is falling like flies. On the front, no one can even think about attacking simply because Armstrong's pace is so superhuman.
What was that about a weak Discovery team???

Correction: Discoveries pace is so superhuman. Armstrong hasn't pushed a full chest full of wind yet.DRB said:
sovadalli and chechu are smashing the field on the Courchevel!!!
Buh Bye to Heras
the real GC guys will hang till the DiscoTrain(tm) drops off.Westy said:

Big George is on the front right now.
To anyone who's watching it... does Discovery really look as strong as the commentators are making it sound? Dang, can't wait to see the rerun later tonight.
sav and aza is gone. think hinky and pop are left.jacksonpt said:
hinky is off and VINO is sliding back (trick?)
vino is OFF the back!!!!
And a big BUH BYE to Vino.
Is Leipheimer and Landis with the Armstrong group?
Yes. But there goes Ullrich off the back. Popo accelerated and out went Ullrich.Joe Pozer said:
ulrich has been DROPED!!!
ITS A LONG WAY TO GO CAN THEY KEEP THE PACE?
