The average so far today is way faster than even the fastest predicted times today. And theres cross winds at the finish.

Smirr posted:Yeah, plus the audio was kind of desynchronized during the interviews yesterday, which isn't a big issue with cycling but still kind of annoying. It was driving me insane, dropping into low quality mode constantly when it was working too.

Smirr posted:Yeah, exactly the same here. I thought it was because I switched my computer from ethernet to wifi yesterday, but apparently not. I hope they figure that poo poo out quickly - this would be unacceptable on the better stages. I was doing all sorts of speed tests thinking it was my system. They've had issues like this before, but never as bad. I think their system was getting absolutely hammered by people watching the football.

goatface posted:Do you think they'll use him to race for titles or just to haul other people up mountains? He'd be going into the Landa/Porte roll at Sky, a super domestique/backup for the Tour and a shot at the Giro/Vuelta. Its odd to say as hes won one, but I don't think hes a genuine GC contender. He lost so much time in the time trials and I don't think his climbing would have put enough gaps into the big hitters like Dumoulin or Froome to make up for it.

There was a very interesting article on pro cyclists relative lack of bone density and why this correlates to a lot of fractures after crashes. https://blogs.bmj.com/bjsm/2018/02/27/cyclists-make-no-bones/ Basically we've got the skeletons of someone about 10-15 years older than we actually are.
