The Classics

Shows the Tour as highlights, but I'm okay with that.

I have options with the VPN, and can purchase a month pass with Eurosport (if I'm that desparate).

Nice of them to give SA an option, as a (sort of) middle finger to DStv's monopoly.

I'm seriously considering this option...

I just finished watching the Orla Walsh doccie - probably the best use I made of my time all day, it was really well done. The racing content is a main thing and I reckon the races available to us will grow but all the additional content such as the Walsh doccie makes getting a yearly subscription well worth it. Looking forward to watching a few more doccies as well the races that get made available to us!

Was wanting to watch something tonight, but spent two hours with my daughter (at her dance classes) instead.

 

There’s always tomorrow night.

Might start with the legend that is Spartacus.

"As per the UCI COVID-19 medical protocol, Sagan and his teammates will have to undergo a series of detailed check-ups to confirm they are fit to train and race. These include blood tests and MRI scans of the heart, an X-ray of the lungs, and a spirometry lung test."

 

I am glad for this... Rather make sure than rush the riders back.

100% the right call. Sagan remains one of the finest riders to watch as much for his entertainment value as his racing ability. His team is being smart in protecting one of their major stars.

Milan-San Remo organizers revealed the route of this year’s edition of the race on Thursday, confirming that the Italian Monument will not be visiting the Passo del Turchino after a recent landslide. Instead of taking riders over the Passo del Turchino, the race will traverse the Colle del Giovo, with the top of the climb coming 172.8 km into the 299 km event.

On a related note, Pavel Sivakov from IG has 600 000m vert for 2020. [emoji324]

I heard that number mentioned on a podcast, and thinking that it’s highly unlikely- that’s +/-11.7k/day, every day. His Strava profile shows 100k for the year, which is more realistic (1960/day); although I’m sure not every session would show on Strava.

 

StatsHunters shows I’ve done 597k in my 11yr Strava career; we don’t have mountains in GP.

Im sure 600 000 is the equivalent of 1 643m per day for a year, which seems more reasonable? Or am I missing something
