Fb stream is working fine for me.

The link posted here also worked. The one posted over in the LKRT didn't.

Campanaerts at the head of the peloton. Where's he been since April?

 

[sir fly]

The picture and commentary don't match.
A lot more's happening in the commentary.

PB: looks like only one camera on a moto

Makes you appreciate even the crappiest Eurosport feeds.

I was surprised that ISN was riding for Strong - Impey would be the fastest from this group.

Would he?

 

[tobydawq]

How much remains? Any idea? The commentator sounds as if it's 150 meters but he has done that since I turned on five minutes ago.

It must be the same commentator as last year

 

[RedheadDane]

Around 7 Ks to go.
I think the commentator just went through the sprinters of every damn team.

Since when does Zambanini have a decent sprint (for a climber)?

He has probably taken classes with Landa.

 

[RedheadDane]

Looked like Philipsen ahead of Demare and Coquard.

 

[sir fly]

Demare took off too early.
But I doubt he'd beat Philipsen anyway.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

They did the slow motion first!

 

[tobydawq]

This deserves monument status if the only criterion was enthusiasm by commentator.

You gotta feel for de Lie……lotto couldn’t have done a worse job for him there

For a team focused on sprints, Lotto get the leadout wrong remarkably often - Ewan has also suffered from this. Underdiscussed reason for their impending relegation.

 

[Samamba]

Underdiscussed reason for their impending relegation.

Because it has nothing to do with their lack of points lol.

I don't get why didn't use Selig, Kluge and RVR today tho. It's basically De Buyst (who doesn't have any form since his sickness) and some classic guys trying to leadout De LIe here.

 

[Red Rick]

@Red Rick, did you sticky this just to confuse people about which thread to write in?

Yeah someones gonna get banned for bumping alright

 

[rallybanana]

Yeah someones gonna get banned for bumping alright

it was nice knowing y'all

 

[yaco]

Would he?

He's faster than Strong on a flat final. Impey beat Matthews in a flattish finish in Suisse this year.

Makes one miss the glory days of ¡¡¡Rrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaddddiiiiooooooo Popularrrrrrrrrrrrrr de Saaaaan Luuííííííííssssss!!!, where they made a hopeless breakaway of South American domestic pros preparing to contest a meta volante 45km from home with a 2 minute lead over the péloton sound like they were announcing Anquetil and Poulidor on Puy de Dôme.

I'd love to know who the commentator was looking at when he kept declaring Tesfatsion as a likely winner from the front group in Piemont. There was no Drone Hopper jersey in that group, and no-one of his skin tone.

Cepeda was in the front group but got dropped on the flat towards the end as he finished somewhere between the front and the peloton.

Doesn't excuse thinking that was Tesfatsion but at least he got the team right...

Yeah, unless Cepeda transferred to EF a little while ago.

 

[search]

Tesfatsion also was in the front group. Must have been dropped late.
