okay so why a bike check now ????

I imagine there’s pre-recorded footage that the producer brings in for entertainment value or continuity whenever there are technical issues or loss of satellite signal to the live race.

I know getting the signal out isn't easy but they've been doing it for just a few years....today was really bad?

Remember also that the stream to Youtube goes via the undersea cable network, which have 4 cables still broken.

If only the ANC was not such idiots we would have had Elon's network covering us.

I don't know, feels every year there's a lot of that no ?

I mean, even at the Giro you miss half of the action some days, so I don't find it so surprising that we miss a bit of the racing in the "untamed africa".

Would really like to have some sort of live gaps somwhere on the stream though, but I mean, I'm not even watching, just have the stream in the background so maybe there are but I just miss them everytime.
