OH.

This is the most repulsed ive been in a while.

To not show Lombardy, the closing of the season, due to second tier continous tennis coverage and Moto gp.

Disgrace

yes but if the inevitable womens tennis match scheduled before overruns like per usual we are ****ed.
Looks like scrambling for an Italian feed will be the best option.

HD is International.

On for 90mins live.

Tennis is live beforehand, so we are into dangerous territory.

I like tennis, not as much as cycling. Broading tennis over this makes as much sense as broadcasting the TDU instead of the Australian Open Tennis.

Shame for Scarponi. Hes had a forgettable second half of the season.

I don't remember anything forgettable about the second half of his season.

Teams told they can't give riders bottles from the side of the road at Lombardia. As you can imagine they're not happy and will appeal

on a little side note, does anyone know what kind of speeds will they be hitting going up the Ghisallo ? 20-25kmh ? 25-30kmh ?

25-30kmh would be great.

 

[masking_agent]

25-30kmh would be great.

meaning that's optimal ? impossible ? I guess something closer to 20kmh then

i think robobasso of 2004 has the record,not verified by me though.20 minutes,average speed somewhere at 26 km/h
possibly his time was beaten since then.riccardo ricco or gilbert probably
