    Strade Bianche 2025, March 8, one-day classic (men's)

    Depends on the race, I'd love my local pub to show some of these races on the tv with a fine selection of beer, belgian preferably and cheese/meat nibbles. SB is maybe too soon in the season to get warmed up for, PR is about right, though I keep meaning to do the RVV stew & drinking game one...

    someone with that level of addiction and mental health angst in their lives, never truly recover imo, and you hear it from recovering addicts in the way they speak about themselves, and note they always call themselves recovering even if their sobriety can be measured in years, they never label...

    Strade Bianche Donne 2025, March 8, one-day classic (women's)

    bad enough we have to put with this 15min intro thing, whilst the race is actually happening, but why are they previewing the mens race, in the womens race coverage !?!? :mad:

    RIP GCN+

    There are still a bunch of people who think Eurosport was free because Sky bundled it in with the entertainment channels, not the sports, so actually forgot they were paying for it. Technically I was paying about £60 per month to watch Eurosport via my Sky subs, plus £15 a month for a tv...

    RIP GCN+

    ITV in the UK didn't start showing live stage coverage of the Tdf till about 2010. Prior to that Eurosport only existed from 1989 onwards, but I remember it stopped being really free, as in you needed some form of subscription as opposed to a satellite dish/receiver maybe mid 2000s.

    Belgian Bonanza '25: 20th Omloop Nieuwsblad WWT + 20th Omloop Hageland + 14th Le Samyn (March 1st, 2nd and 4th )

    My thought was try box her in with the numbers you had and go as soon as you can, it was obvious after the cobbles Wiebes was going to win as she wasn't even having to make an effort to keep up and no one looked to have the power left other than just roll to the line. I guess maybe you had to go...

    tnts coverage of omloop

    I wouldn't, the pattern on Eurosport last year was always live coverage of the racing started after at least 15mins of bantz central with Orla and crew. And it will be more so now because TNT/Discovery are more into the presentation of coverage with presenters not the classic Eurosport hey...

    But it's not the other teams responsibility to give SDworx the free ride they wanted either. It is SDworx responsibility to get the best result they can regardless of the other teams games. You're in the race to try to win, its not a coffee ride, so everyone staring at each other results in the...
