QS riding as if they really don't want to mess this up. Quite a sight....a rare 100% loyal Pro Race poster. A poster boy for the community.0

Still got to account for the break pissing about a bit at the end to contest the sprint of course. Hope the peloton doesn't ease up at all (just for the spectacle) but I think they might be now??0

On screen info wrong !! :roll: *****ing ******s0

Oh dear.. This production..

Peloton stll think the break is 5km from the finish. Not sure I've ever seen worse coverage.0
-
Routley gets the win. Great stuff. All he was really after today - KOM points!0
-
Jesus fucking Christ they pan the shot during the bunch sprint.0
-
Cut away just as Cav/Degenkolb get to the line, no countdown back to the break. Awful in places this coverage, so much info but nothing useful, it's like the BBC at the Olympics!0
-
Still a baby at this cycling stuff, the Americans..0
-
No, this coverage is appalling really, sh1te pictures, wrong captions, cut-aways at the most stupid of moments. Total crap really. People are getting paid to produce this! (and people are paying to see it!)
You could load a rotating screen saver full of stills and talk sh1t over it and it would be about the same quality.0 -

Well that answers the question about whether we need onboard bike cameras - it's the only way we'll ever know what the hell happened if this bunch of clowns ever manage to barricade themselves into the editing suite again.
Would love to know if the terrible estimate of distance remaining was responsible for the peloton messing up the chase.0 -

That's a thought...I'm sure Cav will let us know...
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Great performance by Gregory Daniel. He's only 19.0

There are a fair few riders out there who give every impression of simply enjoying racing, whether working for themselves or anyone else. Boonen clearly has it, Cavendish too (he certainly threw himself into the water-bottle challenge as a super-sprinting domestique at Sky). Funnily enough, the more talented amongst them also tend to be the ones whose teams will bury themselves to assist.0 -

I used to spend a lot of time rowing/sculling/coxing/generallymuckingaboutonrivers and came to detest swans. Basically they're a more aggressive duck that refuses to bloody well sink, and you're not even allowed to eat them unless you can use a ten quid note as your ID.
In unrelated news, onboard cameras are bloody ace.0 -
Wiggins the only GC rider not to find himself behind a split in the bunch, gaining him 4 seconds on all his competitors.0

Shame we didn't bloomin' see it. If they had shown the GC times we would have known! Or had onboard camerasDeadCalm wrote:Wiggins the only GC rider not to find himself behind a split in the bunch, gaining him 4 seconds on all his competitors. 0 -
