I reckon it is, look at the brick courses and where each wheel comes up to. Front is definately smaller.

No, they do look like different, maybe 700c rear & 650c front?

Perhaps its just an illusion ?

Saturday - Criterium International (highlights)

Sun - Crit Inter (Live & highlights)

Mon - Ghent Wevelgem

Wed - Three days D'Panne

What channels is the cycling on? I am constantly derided on the rides for not watching the Classics etc...

Eurosport, sometimes ITV4 show stuff, but its normally only the TDF.

You might find BBC2 show the track cycling as well.

One of the reasons we got sky...

ITV4 will be showing some of the classic's, but which ones & when I don't know. There is a campain to get ITV4 to show more cycling, Ned Boulting said to bombard ITV4 with emails requesting more cycling.

If not CyclingTv
http://www.cycling.tv/ViewArticle.db...FQEhfAodPRkZcg

My broadband isn't fast enough to stream it, otherwise I'd renew my subscription, as they cover the semi classics as well as the main ones

Just been out this morning and done my first road ride for 12 months - 17.7 miles in 1:08, average 15.5mph which was not too bad - just need to start getting a few miles in regularly now.
