Need to have 3 expensive streaming services just to watch racing in the US. Its a joke, streams can be really bad as well. 240p quality some days. I really miss GCN+ and a VPN to watch every single race.

In this race the final selection more often than not doesn't come from an attack, but from the group resting between sectors and a handful of riders pressing on and getting a gap. I could see Pedersen or Kung winning by not relaxing and then either being in a small group sprint, or attacking...

Auburn, WA? I live pretty close to that area, never heard of the Fondo. Met him once at Metier in Seattle when he was still riding for Axeon-HB.

I don't understand the tactics on display from these teams and riders. After Mads was solo and they had come through the pluggestrasse, the peleton should have just ridden a tempo to maintain the gap around 60-90 seconds and stay together as much as possible until they were through with the...

Very impressed with Ganna. Rode with a lot of grinta. Was really rooting for him in the sprint, but MVDP knows how to win those small group sprints.

They really need to find a way to separate the junior women into their own race. Even if it means a tiny field. But it is a shame the elite women constantly have 40min races due to this rule. Amateur races where I live get 45mins minimum!

I got FloSports for the CX season, and it looks like they have a pretty good selection of Road Racing as well. The Event Replay page always has spoilers which is very annoying, but there is a workaround to avoid seeing them. The BIG problem is FloSports doesn't have any Italian races! Does...

Dan Lloyd and Magnus Backstedt commenting on the cobbled races is great. The two of them seem to know every nook and cranny of Belgium and really add a lot to watching the race.

I've been thinking a bit about the Pass Interference penalty and a lot of the calls that have happened over the past few weeks. It can really change the momentum of a game and I really think needs to stop being a spot foul. Passes aren't always caught and to assume that any PI call would have...

The Browns continue to impress me with all the ways they find to avoid winning. It must take some super talent to continuously snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I think Contador is getting that real 'old man' strength, but lacks the top end speed that he used to have. When you look at the 3 GTs, I think the Giro best suits his current skill set. The Giro seems to be the one race where things are decided over multiple climbs within a stage, and being...

I usually get the races from cyclingtorrents.nl. Since I live on the US West Coast, the races are usually uploaded by lunchtime, I can have them downloaded before dinner, and then watch in the evening. It works pretty well, but I have to avoid spoilers all day which can be a hassle at times! One...

I could only see this working in the lower levels of the sport, as a way for young riders, top amateurs, and Conti level pros to get a chance to show off in front of the home crowd. I don't see this making for interesting TV viewing. As an American I love watching racing through the towns...

Not so much from a fans perspective, but just the rarity of the achievement and all the variables that go into it. I know it is hard to compare sports, but when I talk to my non cycling friends about cycling it is nice to be able to say: "Winning X race is similar to winning X title"...

RAMROD is pretty cool, but I always preferred driving to the park and doing a loop with Paradise and returning over Skate Creek. Also, thanks for all the NFL talk on here. Much better then digging through sports media or listening to Seahawks radio out here in Seattle. This forum plus the NFL...
