iirc that was also at the start of the Tour rather than the tail end of one of the fastest Tours.

In a way it’s a shame Rog left Jumbo as now if Jonas falters in the tdf for whatever reason Pog would have had a good shot on a Giro Tour double. I dont see it happening without severe mishaps for both Rog and Jonas.

Wait so I’m paying 6 euro something to Eurosports now and they throw long adverts for Eurosports into the CX coverage. Am I missing something?

There should be a non-commercial feed. If the name has E1 or E2 it's the TV simulcast and it will have commercials so look for the one that doesn't have that.

Thank you very much, this calmed me considerably.

Eurosports app won’t show me VOD or live stream of CX races only sort 3min vids. Have to use the browser and then guess between >4 different thumbnails which one will be ad free and in English.

Can we get a petition going to disallow commentators from all yelling "OH NO OH MY GOODNESS OH GOSH OH HOW TERRIBLE" or similar when the camera cuts to a crash? Bob, Phil, and Christian are the worst offenders. It's so weird the way their tone always changes to something you'd expect from a reporter in New York on 9/11.

Pre-covid before the rise of remote commentary, they would spend time in proximity with riders over the years, the riders are people they know first hand. I can’t fault them for defaulting to genuine concern than a stiff upper lip.

On a personal level since my last hard crash I can’t watch riders go down without my blood going cold. They may also have similar traumas.

I got this avatar because I complained too much about the commentators bringing up the boundary walls every 5 minutes when the Tour was in Yorkshire.

Hands down the most exciting men’s race of the season. Worth watching from start to finish.

Women’s race was really good too but they’ve had a lot of good close races all season.

It is really situational so you’ll also see team mates racing each other for points or GC. Riders will go to the front of chase groups and slow it down or make rivals go the long way around to help their rider up the road.

Strade course recon from Puck.

Woman’s race: I don’t think Puck has enough endurance yet, Omloop she was in the 2nd group but cooked, today again looked good but the race was a bit too long to hold the lead group. She’s going to win a big road race soon, probably next year cause the rest just have that bit extra in reserve.

Ayuso is about 6 or 7kg heavier, and is also a top GC guy, he kind of should be beating Vingegard in a pan flat 10km time trial.

Though really, for riders this far off trying to peak for the TdF it’s always a bit random.

Also everyone has completely fresh legs, week 3 TT in a GT totally different story.
