Re: Cos it's RAI. They thought it was a good idea to do a massive zoom in on Weylandt's swollen, purple obviously dead face, this is nothing to them.

In the after race interview she said she saw it was raining so decided to be brave and cycle fast. If only the other competitors had thought of that!

Re: Re: Let's not be too revisionist. I remember just five minutes before Weylandt died David Harmon said "Someone is going to have a massive accident here." It was not considered a safe descent.

The point is, when you have a descent that is not only difficult but dangerous, it actually becomes boring to watch. Yesterday one person attacked, and we were left seriously considering if she was paralysed or worse. Everyone else went down incredibly slowly, well within their limits, because...

Re: Re: No, it's a course for bikes. World Tour. Because I say so. What, you don't like sport?

Honestly, some keyboard warriors here. The type who'd happily have a cycling course featuring a tightrope stretched over a waterfall -- if they fall off that's their fault for not being careful right? They didn't have to do it. That's just sport. Idiots.

Well yeah, every race should be different. If this is what makes this one different, great.

Re: We'll have to wait for ten years though probably, until someone runs out of money and decides to write a book.

French TV motopacing Bardet? Surely not.

Nibali came off because suddenly the corner was blocked with an alien, don't see what that says about his abilities, he can't bunny hop over a person, the jury might DQ him.

I have hay fever. Although if it's raining there's less pollen about, it doesn't mean the problem suddenly turns off like a light switch. I need at least a day of rain before I feel normal again.

Must be why ITV is showing adverts ... They haven't realised with the lack of attacking this race the descents are more interesting than the climbs.

Re: Wow, what an idiot. That was completely his fault. You can't just ride into a motorbike from behind and then blame it for being there.

It's a real person. The moto at the back of the peloton filmed him for half a second. Kirby didn't notice.

Re: Re: Nope, he earned his ten minute penalty for clinic-related activity. And people say the punishments these days are weak...
