    Usually a good couple of races these.

    EBH vs Sagan tonight I reckon (going out on a limb).

    Also, wasn't this the scene of Carlton Kirby's masterful bit of homoerotic commentary last year?
  • The 8 escapees are Rohregger, Gusev, Wyss, Leezer, Euser, Casar, Houle and Cooper
  • Can't remember Carlton's commentary but that sounds likely. His commentary on the Sprints last night was mostly grating.

    Sagan and EBH are the faves. It's ended in solo attacks both times before though.

    Eurosport still showing some nodder triantelope event.
  • Sod it, just beaten.
    Flipping Vuelta overrun.
    101kms to go.

  • 94km to go, bunch just went through the feed zone. Europcar and Garmin pulling in the bunch for Voecklet/Haussler.
  • Tommy's in gurning mood already
  • OK WATTS up with Eurosport.
    Why they are stalling going live, now, I know not.
    Maybe Kirby has gone AWOL.....

  • Kirby was wittering about beers last night. Maybe he's had a few sherbets too many.

    They tweeted that coverage will start at least an hour late.

    euro-sport enrages me sometimes.
  • I predict Kirby we regale us with rambling tales of micro-breweries, copper roofing and lumberjacks.
  • Marsh Cooper (Canada) cleaning up all the KOM points

    You can imaging what would happen if they tried to pull that one, with tennis or motorcycling.
    I hope they don't try to bullsh*t us by saying the live feed was not available..........again.

    It's odd because their usual answer to delays is "live coverage has priority over recorded".
  • Kirby tweeted they'd be live after the Tennis Doubles
  • This is why cycling fans hate tennis

    Delayed because of non-live coverage of a sport on a different channel. Crazy.
  • I watched through the WATTS loop 3 times.
  • and we're live on Eurosport... oh wait they can't get the commentary up!

    Garmin and Europcar must be setting a brutal pace. Riders struggling all over the place.
  • EBH - early bath
