It‘s all the Bais brothers‘ fault.What a joke , ban anyone outside the top 20, where's Marco frapporti and Simon pellaud. Our sport is dying
How can he get away with this!
He looks good. Shorts standing out from the pink jersey reminds me of Simoni:Pogacar should be kicked out of the race for this.

There simply was no live coverage until 80 kilometres to go. Apart from the big mountain stages and Flanders & Roubaix.Lol, you always hear about how the Giro stages in the 1980's were ridden at 28 kph in a gruppo compatto until the helicopters got in the air for the final hour, yet of course the sport is dying today when nobody wants to attack.

Nobody really needs full coverage actually. Most times it would be fine enough to start the coverage 15.30 / 15.00. It's also not really improving the commentary when they have to waffle around for 5 hours.
I keep telling you, lets remove grand tour status for the Italians & give it to a proper country instead.
I mean in the end we are the ones who watch flat stags from 150 - 100 kilometres to. Because cycling for us is like a big cinema movie. So we only have to blame ourselves for creating a cycling overkill.Agreed but it's ridiculous to be bitching and whining about it as if it's something new. Especially the 'cycling is dying' thing when it was exactly like this 40 years ago.
That would be terrible. Think about dabbling around at home listening to the constant chattering from two commentators in the studio and the extras brought in as experts plus several others out on the course, basically commenting on everything from the scenery, the course, each hill, previous and coming races, each miniscule movement in the peloton, all of the teams and the riders minute material choices and race prep etc etc. This going on for hours while you enjoy your espresso looking busy trying to keep up. Can't imagine anything better!Nobody really needs full coverage actually. Most times it would be fine enough to start the coverage 15.30 / 15.00.

That's actually pretty wild, where do you suppose they found the trippy, every shade of pink fabric for the shorts? I don't think even grandma would have curtains or a sofa like that...He looks good. Shorts standing out from the pink jersey reminds me of Simoni:
Stefano Pirazzi and Pieter Weening absolutely despairing watching the abject lack of a TV breakaway on this stage.

I like to see the formation of and or control of the breaks, but honestly after that, it's all dudes with dicks out peeing along the side of of the road for the first half of a race.There simply was no live coverage until 80 kilometres to go.

Market that right and cycling gets a new audienceI like to see the formation of and or control of the breaks, but honestly after that, it's all dudes with dicks out peeing along the side of of the road for the first half of a race.
