vikingstrike posted:It did full stage ad free streams for the Tour but not the Vuelta. Kinda sucks. Yeah this sucks. I wonder how many more people would rather watch motocross at 8/9 am or whatever the gently caress was on instead of the vuelta. That or they only pay so much to broadcast certain segments of cycling?

The broadcast just gave the top 5 people with numbers in degrees next to them, like “172 degrees” what’s that mean? Is the degree symbol supposed to be current watts?

nwin posted:Yeah I didn’t think it was wattage and then I saw the numbers weren’t changing. Thanks! I don't think there's a general formula for mountaintop finishes. For flat stages it's a minute per 10 km. King and Stalnov aren't cooperating very well, though, so I think they're currently blowing at least King's shot at the red jersey.

Ben didn't hold onto the red jersey position, but he's at least within striking distance of the leaders. I was hoping that Dimension Data would take the leash off of him to at least go for some KOMs after he was domestique for the Giro. Maybe with a stage win under his belt, Ben will be Dimension Data's best shot for the Vuelta.

It was pretty clear from the Tour that Cav's career was over. He's done nothing but crash out or wash out of most events the last couple of years.

I don't remember where I saw it but there was speculation that the part about punching the car was just an extremely sticky bottle. Calling his race director a oval office probably happened though tbh e: oh the sticky bottle bit is in his tweet

yep, it was the bikesquote:CyclingTips was one of several media outlets sent an anonymous email purportedly from someone within the team. That email laid much of the blame at equipment partner 3T, saying that the supplied bikes had many mechanical issues, that the promised time trial bikes were never supplied and that the riders were so concerned that they wanted to use other machines in the Tour of Britain. When reached for comment, 3T’s Gerard Vroomen responded that its contract contained no binding delivery date for the time trial bikes and acknowledged the team had struggled with chain drops but did not state the cause.

Always with the crashes at impossibly bad / entertaining spots. 16.7 km from the finish, about 90% of the peloton stuck at some point  oh, on a road that's like 2-3 meters wide
