2013 Giro d'Italia Stage 14: Cervere - Bardonecchia 168KM

[Ferminal]

5? I've been cheated. Looked like 7 on the new profile.

Maybe on average, more rampy than the profile indicates.

Apparently Battaglin is conscious, while Vanotti has a shoulder fracture.

No further coverage? Italian TV is a f*cking joke.

 

[Bala Verde]

On rai they showed that the Galibier route was closed.

Definitely their fault. Definitely!

 

[Der Effe]

Definitely their fault. Definitely!

Every Italian race has horrible coverage.

 

[argyllflyer]

Cycling News tweet just now that Galibier is not definitely closed yet.

Looking at the new stage graph again... those two climbs from Susa look quite interesting. Quite steep.

Sadly true.

 

[RedheadDane]

And now we're getting highlights from stage1...

 

[whittashau]

I'm not watching yet, but is there no coverage at all?

 

[brilleaben]

Confirmed by RCS that riders will use snow tires tomorrow to manage Galibier ascent.

Don't get fooled. It's a long false flat.

 

[Broth3r]

Don't get fooled. It's a long false flat.

Looks to me like two climbs with some flat between them.

In any case, let's see if we can even see them. Eurosport just stated there'll be no live footage until at least 4PM local.

You're an intelligent person.

What do you think?

Do you think they'll race over it?

No chance.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

no more images most likely. oh well, that's ****

waiting the whole week for these mountain stages only for the ****ing weather to **** it up. Whole the winter and spring has been abysmal. **** the weather really

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Anyone got a functioning stream? all mine are dead

No chance.

Just seen on twitter a decision will be made before 20.00CET.

I don't hold out any hope either.

They can easily wait another hour with starting the coverage...

I wouldn't count on it! No signal...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

there are no live images not even on TV

they can't get a functioning connection due to the weather

 

[Miburo]

I just tuned it in and i saw some astana guys on the front with only a few behind.



Then i realised these were images from a previous stage

 

[Jelantik]

sigh. bad weather again in Italy. Looks like Europe has been getting a bad weather since classic. I wonder if TDF, the weather would be not a sunny as it used to be. Are we going to have a lot of wet descents? Looks like global warming has changed the weather pattern.

 

[roundabout]

When is the Tour de Norvege on?

 

[SafeBet]

Problem is not the stream. There's no live picture.
