That was just beautiful racing.

 

One day when I’m big I wanna ride like Fausto Masnada.

Averaging something like 290 watts or something for 5+ hours ????

The commentators got it - a RSA problem. Then DSTV wonders why their subscriptions are dropping fast. Must admit was in Europe for April 2018 and it did seem when I got back to RSA that nothing really works in RSA anymore! Just another example.

Not true the french feed went as well. Ended up watching images of towns for a while and then yhet made their own feed from their cameraman filming the big screen that was posted at the stage finish.

beee baaahhh beeee baaahhh.... here comes the waaaaambulance

 

I just logged onto the website and followed the commentary. 

 

Pretty sure they will have it fixed for tomorrow and we can enjoy 2 more weeks of awesome racing. So much whinging these days.

 

I remember losing feed during rugby matches and cricket and people would be happy when it came back on instead of crying into their flat whites

I can confirm Eurosport feed was fine, watched the whole race and Giro Extra after with post race interviews.

So now the big question, do you guys think Froome still has as chance.  Does not seem like he is firing on all pistons at the moment.  Some really impressive riding by some of the other contenders.

Still a long way to Rome and anything can happen..today is a rest day so that will help him recover a bit.. hope he fights on, the race deserves that and we want to see the favourites to fight to the very end.

He struggled badly over the last few kms and was over a minute down, whilst it is a long way to go and some big mountains still to come, Michelton Scott have Yates and Chaves 1 & 2 and both are looking strong.... am thinking the lost time is significant and maybe too much already!

No I think its gone out the door pretty much... unless there is some sort of tragedy I doubt it.
