2014 Worlds - Elite Men RR *SPOILERS*

above_the_cows

How many roundabouts do we have on this course...?

mm1

Not as picturesque as Verona say, but can't see what's wrong with the circuit. Earlier races have shown that the winner will be someone who can handle their bike and can keep their wits about them. Head and legs and all that. Froome at the back last we saw of him.

Seeing as Bradley Wiggins is the fastest solo rider, why doesn't he just ride off the front away from them all?

JackPozzi

What idiot(s?) went to the trouble of writing their favourite riders names all over the road without checking which direction the course runs so all their hard work appears upside down?

Weather like Villach in 1987, Nibali to win?

Is it just out here in Asia where Eurosport is not carrying the Worlds (watching on a stream), or is it the same in europe? I can't remember the last time Eurosport didn't carry the Worlds.

In the words of one dodgy character: "That's boll.ocks JC"

BBC coverage starts at 1.20... probably not the best advert given nothing will happen until around 3:30-4:00

It's actually on the red button now. Liggett appears to be commentating. :shock:

Cheers, schoolboy error from me and forgot to check if it was on

I'm on Sporza, too.
No more exciting on here than listening to Phil Ligature on the "red" button.
Oh, as I type a bit of a pile up.
Navaduskas and Nibali?

Well I have to go and buy a man a jumper right now, but I'll let you know when (not if) it happens later.

Yup that's it.

O.T. the omerta is strong with Phigget and his commentary, may be forced to find a stream somewhere else.

No_Ta_Doctor

I've got it on HD on Danish TV.

Or I will have when I wrestle the TV controller back from the kids. Is it worth it?

Google Chrome browser -> install zenmate https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... bhfomcebme -> pick a location that isn't geo restricted. (Netherlands, Germany..)
