LOL.
This time around there are sound issues.
Luckily on the player you can change the audio language, so I have the French lot atm."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
The picture that popped up on my GCN+ feed (frozen ATM) showed MdvP on the front of the bunch. Couldn't he hide away for a bit longer ...?
Feed seems to be working ok now, froze on a Firefox session I had, worked on the Android phone app but now ok also on MS Edge.66.4kms remaining.0 -
At least GCN has the same as ES though. In a way, that's an improvement. I don't mind listening to Maggie B too much to be honestblazing_saddles said:LOL.

Nice to see Cav in a front group of 23 or so.
For me the GCN+ feed has fluctuated between crystal clear quality to it dropping briefly. Crossed fingers for the remains of today's race.0 -

MDVP bars snapped - oopsNapoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.0

Not sure this genuinely was the reason, but interesting that the men's race had exactly the same thing happen.Lanterne_Rogue said:From the camera bike angle the finish looked a bit deceptive - there's a traffic calming chicane that messes with the apparent perspective, so it seemed closer than it was.

I do love spoiler threads with lots of cryptic posts but minor details like what actually happened at the end or who won missing.4

Cycling Weekly tells me Tim Merlier
(Alpecin) took it from Rassmus Tiller (Uno) and Andrea Pasqalon (Wanty) if anyone else was interested.0 -

I saw Blazing's heads up yesterday and thought I'd have it on my spare monitor while working but ended up in yet another Teams meeting so missed it. Thought I'd have a quick look who won, read all the posts and then re-read them thinking I'd missed the post giving the result 😂ddraver said:

I tend to avoid giving the game away, even in spoiler threads, just in case somebody happens along who fails to read the word spoiler.Pross said:I do love spoiler threads with lots of cryptic posts but minor details like what actually happened at the end or who won missing.
Though is was the poorest edition of the race I have seen, but I blame the weather for that, more than the souped up startlist.
If folks don't like Rob Hatch's pronunciation of names, then they aren't going to like Jose Been. Not talking about here native Dutch obviously, just in general."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
The speed at which they take corners on the narrow Belgian roads even when just gliding through and not attacking was amazing to watch in this race. The camera bikes regularly had trouble keeping up through corners on pan flat roads. Really enjoyed it.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

It wasn't the pronunciation that I objected to, but the utter drivel being discussed during the occasional moments of actual racing. Stephens and Lloyd were excellent as a pair and presumably relatively cheap. I wish they'd stuck with that combo.blazing_saddles said:

A sprint from a reduced peloton. Deceunik had numbers, in the finale and were looking good, but Senechal launched a bizarre attack, easily marked by MVDP, that disrupted the organization of the bunch and his own team in particular, and they ended up with nobody in the top 10.Pross said:Cycling Weekly tells me Tim Merlier
