I don't recall anyone, at any point, saying that the protests were a one step program to halt a genocide. Except for you, 2 months ago, and you're still wrong.

Never heard anything but ad reads by LR before. But I usually watch on YouTube, and have premium.

I don't follow LR myself but that sounds a lot like the Spotify auto ads.

https://defector.com/the-israel-premier-tech-cycling-team-is-no-more “Thursday afternoon, the WorldTour cycling team formerly known as Israel–Premier Tech unveiled its new form: NSN Cycling Team, which will be licensed out of Switzerland and based in Spain. A few short months after its presence at the Vuelta a España incited fierce protests, the IPT project has unraveled. According to reports, IPT's cantankerous owner, Israeli billionaire Sylvan Adams, is out of the sport.”

When the numbers don't add up: The trouble with the 2025 Cycling Esports Worldsquote:Still, when the YouTube livestream sat at roughly 17,000 views six hours after the race, 28,000 some 12 hours after that, and stayed that way after 24 hours, it became clear the broadcast hadn’t landed as hoped.

https://x.com/ammattipyoraily/status/1995537967742693873?t=aNQgeKMJiGZem3lf1LwxZw&s=19 I haven't looked much past stage 7, which is a 246 km MTF up the Blockhaus

Stage 16 is punchy.

My parents will be vacationing in Bologna when stage 9 passes through. Does the Giro have a big caravan like the Tour? Worth it to go see for non-cycling fans?

14, 16 & 19 looks hella fun

Stage 7 will be hyped up as a monster giro winning stage and end up with everyone riding tempo together to the line.

Not sure if anyones paid attention to the nonsense thats going on with Warner Bros, but its likely TNT sports and Discovery are going to get bought out by several different companies. Netflix and Paramount are only bidding on the Movie studio/HBO. So after ruining all the goodwill last year its likely cycling will be on something totally different in 2027.

It sucks how broken up cycling stuff is. I used to be able to get most stuff on our local satellite tv provider but for the last few years they've had no Italian races at all. No idea if they just didn't want to pay for them or it's some other poo poo like another paid streaming network has the rights here but it's annoying. No world championships this year either. Cyclocross used to be shown here but not anymore. Also gently caress Israel.

I can't believe how loving good we had it with GCN+.
|
|
|
|
The pro move was not switching from eurosport player to the new hotness gcn+ (due to laziness) as it ended up lasting longer
|
|
|
|
Maybe GCN can just buy the rights again in the fallout for a knockdown price and we can forget the last 2 years ever happened

It’s a bit more complicated than thatquote:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/netflix-and-paramount-are-competing-for-wbd-in-2-very-different-ways-105900852.html I think the better outcome for cycling fans is that Netflix wins the bid and the cable channels get spun off because then their existing business will be more important to the overall bottom line. But who the gently caress knows anymore lmao
