s14phoenix Posted September 22, 2020 Share Speechless [emoji1750] How the winner is calculated.Mount is stages, flat surface stages and narrow stages. https://twitter.com/grootlem/status/1307909466042576896?s=21 Yip, no other words for it than speechless! Surely they not from planet Earth ... Janee... big story but clearly the research is lacking... reporting on the biggest sporting event in the world and nobody did the homework - surely a sports reporter should get their facts straight.

Think she got confused between the Green jersey competition and the GC competition and just mangled everyhting into each other. Look, if someone asked me live on-air about the rules of Kabaddi I would most likely make an even bigger stuff-up of the explanation. Still funny.

Sure, I would excuse someone if they don't know Kabaddi though, but pro-cycling, Tour de France, on National television, sorry there is no excuse for that, simply pathetic.

Come to think of it again, I think that is exactly what she did and she messed up the details because it isn't a sport she is passionate in. Would probably have been more credible if she said: I honestly know too little to explain... TheoG and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted September 22, 2020 Share Love it that the rim brake won over them all! proves that its still a big 'if' in road racing! The marketing guys must all be on leave... LOL. I try stay out of political/religious debates, but one thing sprung to mind earlier: Same here, which is why I have never pointed out that Campy rim brakes top Shimano and Sram disks....

Pure Savage Posted September 22, 2020 Share I see they raided Arkea Samsic hotel rooms during the tour. Why got raiding 15th place on the GC, whatever dope he is on, it is obviously not very good. I feel if they found anything concrete they would have pulled a Festina and yanked them out them out of the race for the publicity.

Gen Posted September 22, 2020 Share No, not the source, but the metric.Look no doubt a hell of a lot of people watch at least a bit of the TDF during the 3weeks...wonder what their revenue generated from TV broadscast is compared to the Football World cup, Olympics, Champions league and Super bowl is. Off to ask Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
