The schedule for the Tour of Spain is been post it at www.olntv.com Maia Milaneza team with Claus Moller and Rui Sousa a team to watch and the Once and 7th finish in the tour Jose Azevedo.
I notice that, but it still a lot coverage, SiC had the right for the Portuguese Tour only televise live one hour. It looks like next year they 65 portuguese Tour will have more live coverage. Hope Olntv can televise some of the race, so guys you can always send your comments. Nuno I think its only me and you the follow portuguese cycling.
If Boavista can have the second best cycling team in Portugal, why is not a Benfica, Sporting and Porto like old times? I think will be away to have some of the fans coming back to the sport. Benfica I still remember Peixoto Alves , Sporting Joaquim Agostinho, Porto Mario Silva going against each other up Serra da Estrela. Can you see the three teams going against each other on the trial stage. How ? Do I still see it in my lifetime.
Tour of Spain to starter Saturday morning, for more information check www.olntv.com Jose Azevedo portuguese cyclist and #7 in the Tour of France will be one of the favorites with the ONCE TEAM. Portuguese strongest team Maia Milaneza will be lead by Claus Moeller[Denmark] #8 overall in last year Tour of Spain and winner of Portuguese Tour 02. Rui Sousa 3# in the portuguese Tour a special mountain climber should have something to say.

Milan Milaneza Angel Edo finisth the 2nd leg in 4th place. Overall leaders, Jose Azevedo in third place.
Finish working Saturday and Sunday, be off next two days expect to watch the race live on OLNTV. Also want to give my condolenses to the USA Basketball team. Give my congratulations to the best Basketball team in the World, the Yugoslavia national team. The slog when winning the NBA finals, we are the World Champions will be a laughing stock thru the WORLD.
The USA players that were in this tournament should all retire. They are an embarrasment to the US!!!
Agree about the USA Basketball players, it was a embarrassement for the country, and for the Sport. Losing at home, what disgrace, but I guess it was a matter of time. The next World Cup in Japan in 4 years, could have a increase to 24 nations, if Japan can't handle they will definettely increase it in 8 years. The World lost all the respect for the USA Players everthing the Dream work for, when out of the door. Tour of Spain will have its big test on Wednesday, in the mountains of Sierra Nevada, today leg was for the sprinters. Jose Azevedo still in the top 4.
The 4th stage will starter live on TV at 9am. Bye guys, see you guys when its over. Viva La Vuelta of Spain.
We got to pay attention to Portuguese basketball they might be in the next WC. My team from Aveiro Basket qualify tonight for the semi-finals of the Champions league with a 115-89 win, Herman Alston scored 31 points. Porto with 96-88 win over Ovarense also qualify for the semi-final to be played, twomorrow. the teams in the semi of the Champions League FC Porto vs Portugal Telecom Aveiro Basket vs Oliveirense.
Big changes in the Tour of Spain in the mountain climb. Overall standing Jose Azevedo is in 11 place great work by portuguese Rui Sousa 3rd in the portuguese Tour finishing 10th in the 5th stage. He was show on OLNTV.

Maia Milaneza is in 7th place overall a big jump from 12 place. Rui Sousa jump from 83 position to 34th. Claus Moller is the best in 22 place. Expect more great results from the Maia Milaneza in twomorrows climb of Sierra de La Pandera Jose Azevedo Once team is 11th place but he had to wait in the last couple km to pull for Beloki. the finish the race one after the other. Once team is the overall team leader with 3 m ahead of the 2nd place team. Botero and Heras teamate of Armstrong they had a disaster of a race.
They finally closed the USA-ENGLAND thread. Incredible that it took this long. Can't wait for them to give us hell on any other thread we open. Frank, Sorry but since I've come back from Portugal, I have been super busy at work and at home. I haven't been able to watch one minute of cycling. My father and brother have.
Just finish watch the 6 stage of the Tour of Spain, MSS Milaneza had a great day, the portuguese team is 5th in Overall team competition. The Mountain climb in both the Tour of France and Tour of Spain is finally caught with cyclists like Botero, Jose Azevedo, Beloki, they can feel the end of the cycling season Jose Azevedo finish 67 th place 8 m behind the win, US postal Roberto Heras. MSS Maia Milaneza were in the brake ways finish the stage in 8th place Fabian Jeker, Claus Moller in 13th and Rui Sousa in 32 place. If you watch it tonight you going to see how hard a mountain climb can be. Lance Armstrong only picks the Tour of France because its impossible to do well in two top Tours.
