Paris Nice.. Is it worth watching the entire broadcast or do I need to skip to 20km to go?

Mmmmmm mostly skip, unless you are interested in the crash (can’t remember what I’m that was at).

 

It’s tough having to watch two races [emoji1]

So something I’ve seen a couple of times now is this issue of riders seemingly not being able to change gears (as per Remy today), the commentators go on about Di2 going into a safe mode or whatever and being unable to change until it’s reset.

 

Is this something that we can expect to see a fair bit of this year? It would be a real pity if it ruined a riders race [emoji58]

They had way more than enough motorsport fans ... did not stop them from dropping ESPN motorsport, many years ago.

 

FACT

 

Those same supporters did not stop them from dropping WRC ....

 

FACT

 

 

Even their DAKAR coverage have dwindled to barely 20 minutes of generic stuff, that you can get from various other sites ....

 

RED BULL TV SITE, ETC- FACT 

 

 

 

Never understood the logic of broadcasting AT THE SAME TIME:

- multiple rugby matches

- multiple cricket matches

- multiple soccer games

- ... uhm sorry, we ran out of channels so your motorsport cant be broadcast live …

 

FACT FACT FACT 

 

dropping cycling is inevitable if Toyota or similar big sponsors pull the plug ....

 

And this is the saddest fact.

I live in Fourways. And there is not a single lie detected in this statement

Boet!

 

We left fourways around 6 or so years ago and back then it was already filled with people itching to prove something with their fists etc - so this doesn’t surprise me one bit.

 

While it is less so in some places, SA in general seems to have this need to be aggressive.

Wout has extreme power. He did not look aero at all in that sprint, I thought he went too early but nope... WATTS

His movement to follow the UAE train shows his race craft is spot on. Plus, that power sprint is just massive!

 

Caleb would have had him though if he was better placed.

 

I think he is starting to think about green in July...

What a great day in the tours for DQT.

[emoji3515][emoji1132] and JA [emoji1319].

 

Tirreno has such a field, it’s going to be interesting to watch.

 

So sad to see Tony Martin pull out injured though.

Tirreno was brilliant today.

The race will probably be decided by the time trial.

In comparison Paris Nice is unfortunately a bit of a procession.

(Not taking anything away from Sam B who is currently in a class of his own as a sprinter)
