It's not super clear to me from the description - does NBC's app only stream live video or can I go back and watch previous days' stages?

On the subject of Greipel.... This was from 2012 Olympics, I think, so I suppose most of you cycling types already saw it but still....

dema posted:Seems so. Got an alert this morning when I turned it on that they'd fixed some issues with airplay. Good to know. Airplay compatibility is the make or break feature for me, and half the reviews of the app said it worked totally fine and the other half were outraged that it didn't. If they at least want to make it work that's good enough for me I guess.

I love it. Anything coming into his face and its on the floor. My mate was telling me that the crowds were booting the phones around to gently caress them up even more too.

While I have little sympathy for the people who had their phones or themselves knocked to the ground, has there ever been any sort of attempt to complain, sue, attack on social media or anything like that from people who've been hurt or whatever? They guy who was knocked down today was laying on the ground for a while, and he seemed old.

A bit of a flurry on twitter earlier about someone complaining to the police who were marshalling the sidelines about his phone being knocked out of his hand, and the copper just telling him that it was his own fault for putting it in the path of the riders.

I couldn't watch the first three stages and it seems like I actually missed quite a bit. Well done, England. Also well done Mr. Nice, not only is the OP phenomenal but your catch-up posts make it really easy to, uh, catch up. Couple of days late, but during the first stage people itt were talking about Merckx winning all three major classifications in 1969. Anyone know how much the stage setup factored into that? I'm asking because at this year's Giro they had an intermediate sprint IIRC right after the descent from the Stelvio Pass, meaning that the sprint points were effectively wasted. If you pulled a lot of nonsense like that you could get probably get someone in contention for points and king of the mountains even today.

I like how the first guy who gets his phone slapped just stands there like he can't believe it and then the flag he's holding goes limp.

That poo poo was nothing, van Summeren put an 80+ y.o. woman in a coma at the Tour of Flanders. Its doubly nothing coz she was standing in the middle of the road. Some cycling fans are like 80's rally fans, only loving dumber.

The GCN preview of stage 5 is good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrCT_-6SGNc Having never watched Paris-Roubaix, how does it work with team support vehicles down these single-lane cobbled paths? If you get a puncture halfway through a cobbled section are you just hosed?

peanut- posted:The GCN preview of stage 5 is good You are. You have to wait until the vehicles catch up to you, which could be 2-3 minutes once the peloton gets strung out. You will see team helpers stationed at various parts of the cobbles with spare wheels for riders since its sometimes quicker to keep going with a flat and change there. Theres also normally a massive scrum near the start of the Pave parts because riders want to be near the front since any accident can hold people up for ages too.

Mandatory Paris-Roubaix video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1QXKjc1nLY Edit: A. Schleck did not start the race today. His career must really be on the line, he will have to focus on the Vuelta. Edit2: Froome Crash, up and running again. He was holding his wrist though. Pocket fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Jul 8, 2014 |

BTW, the guys on German Eurosport were pretty openly doubting that Andy pulled out only because of the crash. "Didn't actually look too bad" etc. They stopped short of outright calling him a quitter though

Crosswinds are expected so we could have echelons forming, this stage looks to be good. I was hoping to get out on a ride between the rain but I dunno if I want to miss this stage anymore :S

Mollema apparently only had to unclip, it was Froome alone who went down on the tarmac. edit: the new head of the UCI points at football as an inspiration of getting more money into the sport. He's kinda ignoring the amount of teams that are in financial troubles at lower levels or the ones that are merely toys for a bunch of rich people.
