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

He was pretty good in the smaller stage-races with a time trial this year and also 5th in rund um koln

Even brian smith on Eurosport has just said the bubble of this race has bursted.

Do tell.

Enjoy watching the race everyone. i think ill play some tetris instead.

br especially.

 

[Arnout]

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

Is your internet connection stable? When I open the stream it is as crappy as it is in your screenshot, but after a while (and a few annoying ads) quality improves and now it's quite good.

It's weird seeing a flat stage at altitude

Ah, that's gonna set the world on fire, isn't it

To be fair, he's still very young. Still, not enough to justify the attention in my opinion. At least teams like GreenEdge perform, even though I don't like their overhyped status.

TMWK putting the hammer down!

Wilco 'Merckx' Kelderman in the attack

You can tell a race must be very exciting when half of the posts in here are about pixels.

Basically said the sprint field was crap............all the quality riders wanted to ride the Giro.

Go go Wilco.

The french guy has the day of his life. What a ride

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.

i have optical fiber with constant 30MB/s.

it was also working this bad in college with 100MB/s when i was using on a college pc connected by cable.

yes it has it's good moments like right now, but every now and then it get's pathetic which never happens with any other stream

Phil & Paul think it's Gesink...

 

[Cancellator]

The commentators are SO ***
"Georges probably doesn't know any english"
-Can't recognize Gesink; You know, its ok if you can't do it, but don't SAY it's some random rider before you are sure!

 

[Parrulo]

i wish nibs or machado would attack

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Weening and Kelderman, Dutch dual attack

it's a conspiracy against the Americans

Saw about 6 of those in the ultimate universe cycling challenge, or whatever it is called.

 

[classicomano]

Everyones gonna save their load for Baldy ey? Oh well.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kelderman and Weening group already 1'25 ahead of the peloton

lulwut. . . i bet 50% of the forum would be able to keep up with the peloton at this pace

 

[The Sheep]

Have AG2R won any race/stage yet this year?

 

[Cancellator]

Yeah wtf... Georges looks slow and they don't gain a second on him. Are the peloton aiming at a 200 W average for the day?

Honestly, I think P&P deserve a break. I can barely watch this race it is so boring, imagine how hard their job is to be enthusiastic about this training ride?

Is that true? Can someone confirm? BTW, the german commentators had it right from the first second. Oh lucky i am...
