Wow. Kittel is really head and shoulders. That was just silly.

Surprised no one crashed in that last km. And holy poo poo Kittel!

That was impressive by Kittel, it will be hard for Cav in TDF to beat him. Stage 3 Scarponi and Niemiec crashed today.

Ireland would have been an awesome setting for a stage for the roleurs. Instead, a TTT and 2 sprint stages.

I'm running a Giro sweep at work, I need to find an updated list of the GC that includes riders that have withdrawn. Currently I'm plucking names off a menu from Steephill.tv and its a bit tedious.

Looks like Wiggins has cranked his doping to the max, and with the head of the UCI's own son employed by Team Sky, he must not have much to worry about.

I'm going to try and park nearish the South Gate at like 10am ride up and down the mountain for a while. Refuel at the car as needed. Then eventually, before the pros come through, park myself a little below the bike check. I'll be wearing a white/grey Strava kit and riding a grey Ritchey. Yell at me if you see me. And I'm bummed Phinney didn't take it today.

Did they get the cheapest, shittiest moto-cam setups they could for the Tour of California or what? Clear blue skies, seemingly no trees around, and constant picture loss. Wiggo looks like he's in fantastic TT form. It'll be fun to see him put time in on Froome at the Tour on the TT stages.

Crazy finish and impressive win by Bouhani today in Italia, he had a mechanical 25km from the finish and managed to win. Stage 4 Kittel abandons the Giro d'Italia.

Going to be a hot one out there for the Tour of California climb up Diablo. Not as hot as last year's Tramway climb, but it'll still play some roll I'm sure.

Here is a webpage with lots of great GIFs of riders sliding around on today's Giro stage. http://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Actualites/De-la-greve-au-bowling/464948 Midget Fist posted:I'm sure most of you have seen this by now but it's much cooler than the usual bike-cam footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7aH1bn6yUI I saw Mark Renshaw tweet that earlier today, but I am going to watch it again.

Is the Giro coveraged hosed for everyone or is this just an Australian thing?
|
# ? May 14, 2014 14:22 |
|
hosed in what way exactly? It's not even on German TV so I'm watching a stream of Eurosport UK, and there's pictures at least. Really skimpy on the gap times though, and right now not even distance remaining. The website is also really rickety. So, kinda?

Back in the good old days (2yrs ago) they ran their own free stream on their site. That was p sweat, didn't realize how awesome it was until they stopped doing it
|
# ? May 14, 2014 15:11 |
|
Its sorted itself out now but around the beginning all the mobile cameras were artefacty and freezy and they just went to hard cameras at the finish for about 20 minutes.
|
# ? May 14, 2014 15:11 |

Yeah, there's a fair amount of signal loss. Not as bad as the Tour of California, but noticeable. One thing I don't like about Eurosport UK's broadcast is that the one guy will enthusiastically formulate a truism and then ask Sean Kelly "Isn't that right, Sean?", and then Sean always agrees with him in the flattest tone of voice for a minute or two and I zone out. He virtually never volunteers anything.

Cali coverage continues to be just weird. Time gaps and distance to the finish didn't seem to be accurate. At least CVV is speaking up a bit more in the booth and keeping Phil and Paul from talking utter nonsense all the time.
