The possibility to rewind the live coverage in the tracker is just superb. They are really setting standrads which are unheard of in the world of cycling so far.Great

Georges might even get the leader jersey

The peloton is still at 5:15. I guess they're out for a group training ride.

The time on the left side of the screen keeps going up and down.

Do we know if the time showing on the stream (5:15) is correct ?

For all the fancy features, I still have crappy picture quality 50% of the time, and I've had to watch the finish of all stages on Eurosport to make sure I could see anything.

God this race sucked....

Next year they're going to criterium international format:
1. ITT
2. Mount Baldy
3. LA Crit. Show

Just as exciting, with the same GC result.

Tracker in the Crapper now.

It's looking pretty steady now at over 5 minutes.

indeed, the quality at this very moment is amazingly crappy. you can see the pixels . . .

i'm trying to find the x8 button like in PCM but can't find it

OK, discussion time.

Is Big Bear the worst "mountaintop finish" in the history of the sport? I feel like even Arcalis would have to fight hard to be this dull.

Try opening it in a new browser. just reloaded and its great now.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Can't they just rename this race to the Bore of California?

nope, equally crappy on opera, FF, chrome and IE (yes i have all 4)

Just a question that's nagging me for some time now, as I see an Argos rider riding.

What is that Argos Shimano team actually doing to deserve the hype and all the invitations? As far as I know they have a second rate sprinter, a good talent in Degenkolb and the rest of the team is really crap compared to other teams. They've failed to influence a single race this year (like every year really).

I'm really puzzled by the attention they always seem to be getting.

Did he show anything yet? I can't remember any results or actions in the pro peloton?

Sorry

worked for me (using IE)

Actually, in 2010 they gave it a LOT of hype as the race's first ever mountaintop finish, only to then pretend that never happened and confer the same hype on Mount Baldy for 2011 (even though Sierra Road came before that, so by all rights should hold that title).

I'm starting to suspect this is such advanced software it's detecting how much bandwidth it can use at any given moment and automatically adjusting the picture quality accordingly. So it's our fault.
