Well, there was a camera shot of Tom Cornell on Eurosport last night abite for a few seconds looking at his broken buggy :'(

Shame the de Rooys are already out, look like the Kamze team have the trucks  the class won already!

I hope the snooker which starts at the weekend does not start to over run the scheduled programs on Eurosport >:(

Phil, The welsh girl took a bit of a tumble yesterday and was very late in to overnight service not had the chance to look at the web until now.

Paddy, you could also have a look at the belgium coverage, less commercials and not Dutch orientated. However, you have to like Koen Wauters! ;D
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

Hi Jules,
          I see she retired aon Stage 4  as did quite a few others which suggests it was a tuff one.
