Lots To Catch Up, France Stuff, Netherlands Stuff, Italy Stuff

Lots To Catch Up: Good morning (or depending on when & where you're reading this from, good afternoon or good evening or even good night). It's been a pretty busy last couple of days for me, what with watching tv, biking around town, and teaching music & french to my wonderful students (YESSSSSSS, tonight's staff meeting is cancelled!! They just announced it over the PA system- FYI I'm at work right now, and all of us teachers yelled 'WOHOO' from different classrooms). Anyways, I'll stop writing about the non skating stuff and get right into the material from the last few days. There's a lot of links that I want to put up and what I am thinking is that I'll put them up over the next couple of days in a series of updates.

France Stuff: Roller En Ligne has put up a report on the Grand Prix Roller de Nevers. The France road championships took place last weekend. Patin Carrera has posted a report. If you're looking for the results, use the following links: day 1, day 2, and day 3.

Netherlands Stuff: Skate Bond Nederland has posted a report & results (at the bottom of the page) from the Unive WOW in Wolvega. You can find the Cado Motus perspective here. It goes without saying that Herb de Boer Fotografie has posted some eye-candied photo albums; A (men), women, and B, C, & V. Timmerman Powerslide is the source of a few videos from the Netherlands championshhips; relay and interview in English. Click here to access the page with videos.

Italy Stuff: I don't think I linked up to these before, so here are the results from the Italy championships in Monopoli. Patinnaggio Bellusco is filled with pictures; A, B, C, D, E, and F. If you're looking for even more pictures, you cand access the 1000 or so images thanks to Skating Concorezzo.
