Sports, already one of the most popular free Pocket Express services, will offer this continuous coverage from now until the final racers cross the finish line."</i><br /><br />All you have to do is point your Smartphone to <a href="http://PXME.US">http://PXME.US</a> and let the magic happen. It will automatically detect your device and prompt you to start the download. Pretty neat and a little scary at the same time. Anyway, If you're a cycling fan and you want to stay on top of the race, this application is just what you need. Personally, I'm not that into the race this year. Now that Lance isn't part of it, there just doesn't seem to be the same draw for me. Perhaps when it gets a little closer to the end I might start to tune in. :)

Actually it is quite interesting this year. With the majority of the pre-race favorites withdrawn due to doping allegations, the race is not nearly as predictable as it might have been. Floyd Landis is looking good as a GC leader, but Phonak has never been as team focused as Discovery(Postal) was. Discovery doesn't really have anyone to focus on this year though.

Post race is going to be interesting too if the allegations that pulled front runners like Basso and Ullrich out aren't made to stick. I wonder if the teams would have any recourse.

You are right. And that is the reason why I wanted to try out this app. But as Mike mentioned - "Pretty neat and a little scary at the same time," the scary part has come true for me. On my 2125, the PXME.us will not detect the device type and let me download the CAB. :-(
