I don’t think this race is carried on other channels (please leave a comment if you know otherwise) and RTPi’s broadcast quality has been a bit worse than most channels over the last few years (I suspect there’s an analogue part of the broadcast system), but this race is still worth watching to see if you can spot some stars of the future. The umbrella dancing while waiting for the podium presentations also needs to be seen to be believed!

Sadly, the official site is ShockWaveF’d so I can’t see who’s riding, but I expect the main CyclingFans Live Coverage page will keep me informed well enough.

(Thanks to Bernie S for the tip yet again.)
