EmptyB Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Was that really necessary! Lots of emotion about cameras and spectators right now....
EmptyB Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Ag flip.. can't they start early. . I am sick and working from home today.. only problem is mom's taxi leaves at 1:30pm and returns at 6pm.. wtf man.. today if all days we have a jam packed day.. I need one of those walkas or something.. Oooor I can go to the lbs between activities and watch there... mmmm. PVR???
'Dale Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 In all due respect to Contador's opponents though, the cream of the crop are not in this particular race... Yip, it's true the Big 4 (Froome Dawg, Nairo, Nibs and 'Berto) isn't all here.It's not his fault.He is the only one with the kahunas to try the double in the 20th Century. Special rider that 'Berto
Plentipotential Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Lots of emotion about cameras and spectators right now.... Quite right. Problem is the camera is a long way from the owner who is unable to gauge how close to the cyclists the camera is, same as a telephoto lens.
Gen Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Quite right. Problem is the camera is a long way from the owner who is unable to gauge how close to the cyclists the camera is, same as a telephoto lens.You would think after the whole world saw what happened to that poor rider's arm people would just stop wanting to get the best pic..
EmptyB Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 But it's not the same[emoji24] I feel your pain but I have no choice but to PVR today....so in an hour or two I stay off social media and just watch as soon as I get home
Gen Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I feel your pain but I have no choice but to PVR today....so in an hour or two I stay off social media and just watch as soon as I get home [emoji106]Oh I am very bad at that.. I just can't help myself. . I just gotta know what's going on..[emoji85]
'Dale Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Around 15 minutes from the official start. Contador and most of the peloton are on the start line and ready for the roll out, with the maglia rosa a picture of concentration at the front. Could be rain later today as well but the first issue of day is the Camp Carlo Magno, a second cat climb that the riders will tackle immediately
'Dale Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 There are a few nervous faces out there, and the time cut could certainly be a factor with the first climb of the day coming right at the start. Dropped there and it's going to be an incredibly tough day of survival and chasing. One of the major fears today is that if one is spat out on the first climb which is from the start line, then making cut-off will become virtually impossible. Many rollers were being used near the start line to warm up them mossels.
'Dale Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Was that really necessary! YeboIt was a humongous camera lens that led to the crash that dislocated Berto's shoulder and really hurt a few other riders in a pile-up.
Imploder Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 Apologies if it was posted earlier, but please can we get the profile of today's stage.
tombeej Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 With no less than 5 big climbs today, this will be a stage targeted by everyone who has an eye on the mountains jersey, because there are obviously so many points on offer. So my prediction is that there's going to be a major scrap for the blue jersey contenders to get into the break of the day (so a very fast start again) and they'll try to have a relatively large group get away if possible (8 - 12 riders). Then a race to the top of each climb to grab points. I think the GC contenders might be happy to let them go. 13:10:10 CESTGeschke , Domont , Zardini , Bouet and Berlato have jumped clear on the climb so all eyes on Movistar as to whether they chase. Geschke is a threat in the KOM competition. 13:23:11 CESTThe rain has started to fall and the attacks are raining down too with Pirazzi and Mihaylov just two of the riders to try their luck. The Viviani group is at 30 seconds. 13:31:30 CESTAround 20 riders have trying to go clear at the moment but their gap is just a few seconds.
