Hard earned win by FDJ then, chased on then went to the front to kill Cav's chance of getting back0

Yup, popped in for an idea of how far it was to go and saw the result... 😭mididoctors said:Finishing well early
Biniam needs to sharpen them elbows...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Looked like his bike started jumping around as he crossed the line too. Lucky he got control of it before it hit demare properly.mididoctors said:Electric gear issue for gavira?

So after I was fairly sure that the hill in the middle wouldn't do much.....Cav and Ewan roll in 12 minutes after Demare crossed.0

The day Girmay gets out of the box is going to be special. He looks like he's got some serious power to put down at the momentWarning No formatter is installed for the format0

For the first time English language Cycling Content has the best sprinter of the previous generation. Why are they not using him during the live coverage? I like the Blythe McEwan Sky Sports post-match analysis, but it's not the best use of his skillz.
Millar calling a sprint live is one of the best things in Sport to watch. Why are ES doing this to themselves?!We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Nah, the only time something is truely critical is if they are about to die or something is about to explode.rick_chasey said:

Well, that worked out well for Alpecin...0

Indeed. The twat almost took out the winner.ddraver said:I don't think it was the bike doing that...

I do love the BBC's reporting of sports it really has no clue about...
"Britain's Mark Cavendish, looking to win his second stage of this year's Giro, was heavily fancied but fell away with several kilometres to go."3 -
McEwan was commentating earlier on, along with Blythe - they switched over to Hatch and Kelly so that Blythe could go get ready for the breakaway. Not sure if McEwan was on that too.ddraver said:For the first time English language Cycling Content has the best sprinter of the previous generation.

Their headline is even worse: "Cavendish Caught as Demare wins Giro Stage 5."
Their whole sports news section is an agenda driven joke.
We all know that Wimbledon is the one and only sports event that they will never relinquish.
So, despite headlines everywhere regarding the crisis the All England is facing the ATP stripping all ranking points from the Grand Slam, turning it into a glorified exhibition event, there not one word on the BBC website."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
I guess the trade off is whether you want those two on the Breakaway doing the analysis or commentating on the finale...ddraver said:
