Alan B - 10/24/2009:It appears that ATOC Stage 6 will finish over a 40 km or so section, starting with a 23.5 km climb at 5.9%, which will likely reduce the peloton substantially, though alas, the summit of the climb is reached via a further 7 km section at about 3.3%, prior to a downhill section then a flat section to the finish, so it will NOT necessarily be a decisive stage for the top contenders. This year my wife and I won't be able to attend any stage...as we will be in...LONDON! Is there any chance that there will be any ATOC coverage aired in the U.K.? Or, will we end up keeping track of the event mainly by the coverage on your website and others?Alan, London's the next-best place to be after San Francisco, so your time there won't be too dull... But your chances of seeing TOC are pretty slim unless you stay at a nice hotel with some very fancy cable TV system - you'll be lucky to even see the Giro on British TV! A 3.3% gradient doesn't rate with top cyclists in May, and probably not February either, so what will be the key stage then - the TT? GW
