Yeah, I like that the CN updates are built in.

LOL @ the Jackass who picks up Boonen's bike while he's lying on the floor. "It's Tom Boonen's bike, get a picture, quick!"

At least he knew who it was!!

In terms of coverage they are light years ahead of all othe races.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The coverage is absolutely excellent (when they're not cutting the finish to go to hockey pre-game or not showing anything but the last km from a static camera like in 2010, though to be fair a lot of that wasn't the AToC broadcasters' fault), and a lot of races at the same level (.HC races, so non-World Tour events) but "light years" ahead of "all" the other races?

That's Andrew Messick-level hyperbole. Take something that's good, and act like it will single-handedly unite Israel and Palestine.

The coverage last year was terrible. They couldn't get a signal for most of the race.

I think he was talking about the Tour Tracker specifically, not Versus or whatever they're called now

Are we talking about the same race...

I watched it on this Radioshack stream/coverage, and I have watched well over a thousand video streams on a whole variety of sports and that one was certainly one of the best and the coverage was just as good.

The Tour tracker is good, but it's only one facet.
Bavariantroller is on a mission to BIG up Cali and knock the Giro.

Fact is: German races that get live coverage are way ahead of the rest.
(or at least were, until Koln got the chop)
Start to finish.

When will the broadcast start?

 

[Moviefan1203]

When will the broadcast start?

NBC Sports starts coverage at 5pm eastern time I believe.

 

[bicycle_rack]

When will the broadcast start?

in one hour

 

[killswitch]

NBC Sports starts coverage at 5pm eastern time I believe.

After one hour.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Thanks, that makes it 1 more hour to go?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

The ticker said in about an hour from now - I'm sure to nod off by then.

 

[Mellow Velo]

When will the broadcast start?

It finished before it started, because it's light years ahead.
However, there should be a repeat, before it starts, in about an hour.

 

[Moviefan1203]

Thanks, that makes it 1 more hour to go?

Yes, sir.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Yes, sir.

Thank you and you may sit down.

 

[Bavarianrider]

With coverage i mean the live ticker side , too. Awsome compared to anything esle. And they fact that theay broadcast themselves is great, too. Which other race does that?

Every Superprestige cyclocross race, for starters.

Also Milan-San Remo and the Giro, since the Gazzetta feed is the official one. Given that ETB are official partners, you could count País Vasco and San Sebastián too.

The Tour Tracker thing for California combines these fairly uniquely (I don't see that it's any different from the Superprestige coverage though).

They just passed me in Cazederro, should be hitting Ft Ross road right about now. Ted King on the front of the peloton, holla.
