There appears to be several opportunities to follow the action from the Tour de Georgia from your home or office when the bike race rolls out this coming Monday through Sunday.
Live video streaming to your computer is being offered for free through World Championship Sports Network WCSN.com. Go to the broadcast schedule page at WCSN and follow the link to “Watch Now” (you might have to register). Also check the “Live Video” page at Tour de Georgia.
Also, it looks like the Adobe Tour Tracker will be back to offer live GPS streaming of riders in the peloton, as well as a course profile, play-by-play from VeloNews and a chatroom.
(As I was checking this links Friday morning, I thought I'd stumbled upon a High Road training ride with Thomas Lovkvist, Bert Grabsch and Kanstantsin Siutsou, until I realized the three were tooling along the Stage 1 route from Tybee Island to Savannah at an average 37 mph. The GPS devices must have been in a team car for testing.)
On TV, the SportSouth cable and satellite network will offer a 30-minute Tour de Georgia highlights show every night at 10:30 p.m. (ET) following the race. A preview show is scheduled this coming Saturday at 10:30 p.m. SportSouth reaches some 9 million homes in the southeastern US.
The Versus cable network, home of Cyclysm Sundays, is featuring the Tour de Georgia from 2-4 p.m. (ET) May 4. (I know, that's a full week after the race is over and all the results are in.).
As usual, VeloNews and CyclingNews will be offering live text play-by-play.
