March 17 update: The seventh and final stage of this year's T-A is up next. Michele Scarponi has likely won the race (barring a mishap) with his fine stage 6 performance. Stage 7 is pretty much a ceremonial stage with an easy loop and circuits around San Benedetto del Tronto. It will be worth checking out the end of this stage because there are many great sprinters still in the race. A nice sunny/clear although somewhat chilly day is forecasted. Here are your video options for stage 7. Bristish Eurosport will be broadcasting live at 2:45 PM CET after a thirty minute race recap starting at 2:15 PM CET. Eurosport France should be live. RAI Tre TV (Italy) will be broadcasting the last hour live. See the race summary table for links to the stage 7 profile, course map and timetable. — Steve

March 16 update: This should be a good stage. It's very long -- 60k longer than any other stage at this year's T-A. Most of the route is rolling and hilly before the big climb of the day at km 192, the cat 1 Sasso Tetto. After the descent is some rolling terrain before the 4k upill finish to Camerino that has a 12% pitch near the finish. Astana's Andreas Klöden only has a six second lead over Columbia's Thomas Lövkvist. There is chance of rain earlier in the stage according to the weather forecast. Here are your video options for stage 6. Bristish Eurosport will be broadcastingl live (90 min) for the first time during the event now that Paris-Nice is over. Eurosport France should be live as well. RAI Tre TV (Italy) will be broadcasting the last hour live. See the race summary table for links to the stage 6 profile, course map and timetable. — Steve

Yes, I know. The list of poll choices is too short. Not enough room on this dashboard is my excuse. Riders that should also be on this list: Thomas Dekker, Fabian Wegmann, Alessandro Ballan, Davide Rebellin and Ryder Hesjedal. I did put 1.5 Ardennes classic riders on the list! I'm going to roll my own poll widget next time so no one gets left off.
