All of them. I couldn't catch some live, so I downloaded them to watch later.
For favorites, look in this forum, there's a topic on favorite races that got a few replies.
4. Where did u see it? (TV, internet...)
Tv, internet and one or two live

1. Yes, when they broadcast it somewere, otherwise i read reports or watch short replays.
2. Actively, since Tour de Suisse last year, this is when i found this forum and at that time my cycling interrest took a huge boost. Before that i watched the TdF, RvV and PR and Milan-SanRemo every year.
3. Well, like i said i only started watching actively since Tour de Suisse, but i did watch most of the classics and Semi-classics, and after Tour de Suisse pretty much everything they broadcasted. My favorite must have been Paris-Roubaix and World RR. Also if it matters, Cyclo-Cross WC.

Countrey: Norway
1) Pretty often yeah
2) since I was 16
3) Giro, TDF, Paris Roubaix, Ronde van vlaandern (or however you spell it), Milan San Remo, WC rr (and u23). I prefer the RVV and PR, just becuse I love the randomness that might happen in cobbleraces. Some of those I missed is becuse I forgot or becuse it wasn't on TV here.
1. Do you usually watch cycling?
Yes, whenever it's on TV
2. Since when?
2000 ish (TDF only), 2005 full seasons

All my life. I was lived in belgium uintil I was six. I went to my first ever race at 2 weeks old. That was La Fleche, which Lance Armstrong won.

I tried to watch them all. Sometimes I couldn't for some reason (P-R because I was doing stuff in Rome, and I missed a lot of the GTs because of school. However, I did nothing but watch at the weekends. If I can't watch , I find some live ticker and press F5 constantly.
4. Where did u see it? (TV, internet...)
I usually watch streams on the web, because there is nothing live over here (well, nearly nothing). Most of the cycling on TV is highlights on ITV of either the TdF, or the tour of Britain.

1. I try to watch it all the time but here in Canada that's hard. Even if it's on youtube it's usually not english.
2. I started in 2008 whne the TDF was on. I was 12 when I started although i remember watching the last mountain stage in 2005 when Lance won the TDF.
3. Last year I watched the tour and the Vuelta and parts of the Giro. I also watched a few races on youtube but they were not in english so my interest in those was not as high. I also saw the RR and TT WC
4. I saw thee Tour on OLN who was showing it form Versus. And I saw the Giro and Vuelta on Universal Sports website since in canada that TV station isn't provided. Also some random races on youtube.

I use youtube downloader it works easily and very fast. It also converts to the type of video you want
( i know you didn't ask me but i thought it might help)
