TraderStav posted:Any other options for American streams that you don't have to pay for? I'm on my corporate network so the typical dodgy ones are out of scope. Probably not. Welcome to watching things after the fact in the US! Unless it is something like the TdF where NBC offers an app, the one-off links can be hit or miss here without much alternative. Lots of times right after a stage, someone will post the last hour or two on YouTube and you can catch it before it gets taken down. Mr.Nice usually has a link or so to such a video in his summaries.

Why does he still get to keep the stage wins from the Giro last year? That's exactly when he was caught cheating. Is this common for doping bans?

I forget which cycling website it was, but they did an interview with a company that developed small motors that can be hidden fairly well in the seat post. Said batteries and power can be hidden in a similar way. From afar the bikes where the engine was attached was indiscernible. They report it gives you about 100 watts over what your body is doing. Can't remember anyone actually getting caught though for this.

Not sure if anyone has picked up the role yet but I usually just search something like "giro stage 6" and then limit the search to today and over 20 minutes. Usually get a hit starting an hour or so after the stage finished but sometimes longer. Worst part is there is no guarantee it is in a language you understand! Cycling fans is solid for live coverage.

I wasn't watching at the time, but I heard them mention a team mate giving Contador his front wheel, so it could have been a mechanical.

Looks like it's shaping up where Contador is going to have to do the bulk of the work on the climb. Not sure his teammate is going to be able to pull him up to the peloton before the climb starts.

Wasn't it Contador that attacked when Schleck dropped his chain a few years ago? Contador is a loving machine right now.

Russian Bear posted:1000w for a world tour pro isn't that big a deal. Especially if it's just a sub 1 min attack. Seems the HR is getting more attention from when the effort came in context of the Tour than the power spike itself. Well if 168 is his true max than 161 would be 96% of max. vikingstrike fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Jul 14, 2015 |

he1ixx posted:Good post. I also considered that is HR/power telemetry tech from 2003 so who knows how good that was. If I get spikes and lags with my HR monitor in 2015 with brand new tech, I can imagine it was much less accurate over short bursts back then. I don't know what any of this means but it is funny to watch how much people hate Froome in here. I definitely don't get cycling threads. It's from the last time he won the Tour.... Regardless of him being a doper or not what about his racing is fun to watch to you? Ultimately you want to be entertained and he's just boring to watch. This one data point doesn't crucify him, it's just odd. If there was transparency with the sports data it would be much easier to see how much of an outlier it is in perspective. serious gaylord posted:This is the year he gets done isnt it? Look at the science of sports stuff on their website. Thy have some posts up from when Contador had that crazy climb in 2009.

Dude what do you think has happened in 24 months in HR tech? It's not like this was recorded in the 1980s. There are issues with HR tech getting accurate readings at times but it's not like 2013 is the dark ages.

Smirr posted:Is there any good footage of the actual crash? Because I have a hunch that him blaming Ewan for the crash has as much merit as that time during this year's Tour when he blamed Froome for crashing into him. Only footage I saw yesterday was from a helicopter and you couldn't really tell what happened. Just saw everyone start to fall like dominoes.

Some views of Spain are very scenic. Others not so much. I get a kick out of the Universal Sports guys ripping on the camera feeds from time to time. You'd think if some Spanish tourism board is controlling the feed they would want to cut down on the "here's some miles of brown fields" views.
