FISA is running live streaming video of the remaining racing here in Milan, but read this very carefully only under the strict broadcasting constraints. Nobody in Europe can get it, because of the TV feed already sold to the various television stations. Some other non-Europe countries are also blocked because TV rights have been bought by their stations. But Australia, New Zealand, the USA and quite a few other countries should find that they can get streaming video without trouble. You need RealPlayer/RealOne in order to view it.
