Coverage just started on Eurosport Player.

Now we just wait for the live images...

Thought they painted the finish-line onto the road, and we had a bit of a umbrella-breakaway at the finish!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Are they really going to show a summary during the final ascent of Piccolo Stelvio?

 

[SafeBet]

5 more minutes of highlights and we might miss the key moment of the race.

No live images yet, according to Eurosport commentator
Probably due to rain (he said).

Italy has to be the only country where satelites, WiFi, celphones, internet etc all stop working when it rains.

Not just the summary. Some tourist service too.

 

[Ricco']

Tell me it's a race in Italy without telling me it's a race in Italy.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Imagine this service during yesterday's Paris Roubaix. "We regret to inform you that there are no live images due to the rain".

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Tomorrow and Wednesday should be rainy as well, so enjoy not being to able to follow the last big week of racing this season. Thanks as always, RAI.

Edit: or PMG Sport in this case.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ah, images of Paris Roubaix! Perfect.

 

[RedheadDane]

Seems like the biggest race will be whether they'll get the finish-line to behave before the riders arrive.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

I suggest RAI sells their equipment and starts working with 200 euro smartphones on 4G network, and we might actually get some images.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

LIVE!

 

[noob]

Finally it's on!

 

[RedheadDane]

Wo-HOOO!

 

[noob]

Quality of image rivals Tiz

 

[SafeBet]

LIVE!

Broken pictures but ok.

 

[Red Rick]

They just all saw the Roubaix hype yesterday and thought "unidentifiable riders > highly rated race"

 

[wheresmybrakes]

So this is a race for 6 riders and the commentators just go on and on and on and on and on about a certain little Belgian boy all the way to the finish. Hoping he attacks soon so we can get all the ejaculations out of the way. Nice weather by the way!

 

[Jagartrott]

Broken pictures but ok.

As my Italian colleagues keep telling me, everything is broken in Italy, except for food and landscapes.

 

[Extinction]

Ha, ha Stefano Garzelli on the RAI commetary said that Evenepoel was all too zealous with performing team duties for Belgium at the World's, but that Belgium should have deployed him differently reserving Evenepoel for the end, who, even if not the designated captain, merited more consideration based on his form. Analisi perfetto! And that, according to Garzelli, the rivalry between Van Aert and Evenepoel is destined to go on for years to come. I would not want to be the Belgian national coach as a result. Oh the nightmare.

 

[SafeBet]

Random dude took a picture of the camera at the finish line.
Probably it will be the only working camera of the day, so the real superstar of the day.

 

[Extinction]

What is it with Italy not being able to broadcast in the rain!

 

[RedheadDane]

Looks like a bit of a drama at the finish line.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

It's not even raining that much anymore.
