Last couple of days was very exciting. Just wish they have more of the women's race as well. Maybe split screen with one side men's race and other women's race.. 🤔 

Without being funny, what did we miss out on the ladies coverage? With field being so thin I felt coverage was sufficient as the racing was significantly more exciting on the mens side. My view anyway...

As long as he has a contract with Ineos I cannot see that happening. His off road activities already are a push contract wise 

Picked him because he doesn’t have a MTB bike contract, unlike MvDP. Unlikely Nino will change his mindset so maybe picking his partner should be done differently

He does with Ineos he races xc under the program and there is NO chance Ineos will let him jump into a Scott jersey to race epic. 
it is also in the heat of classics season that he is paid 3 million euros a year to race well.

What we missed is coverage ... which is what is needed for top teams to want to join.

 

 

 

 

In terms of racing coverage ... agree with you

Agree, the field are really thin. They need to get more top teams entering. Don't know how they going to do that, but it will be great for the sport.

I just wish the commentators would stop to compare the Cape Epic to the Tour de France. Give the Epic is own due. I almost puked when the commentator compared Val de Vie to the Champs de Elysees.

The food is probably cheaper vs CE and not so many unfortunate drug addicts trying to pick pocket you

3m€??? Forget I asked. 
 

If you were to pick a non-affiliated rider for next year? Train Andrei harder or pick who?

Same team but ride as unit and respect your partner and their abilities. Same as I said before on the approach
