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

[spalco]

Still no pictures of today's stage, or are they finished already or something?

 

[Miburo]

You tell us.

Froome just dropped Wiggins and the spanish commentator says "pathetico"

 

[spalco]

Sestriere out, RAI can't use their plane (bad weather) so no live images.
Excellent isn't it

Any idea if they can fix this? What does that even mean "RAI can't use their plane"? Don't they transmit the pictures via satellite?

50km to go, break have over 9 minutes.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Nice stage win for Pietropolli.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Watching this video of the Galibier, it seems clear that they're not going up there tomorrow.

Road has been closed.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

If they can't show pics now I assume there is no chance of showing pics of the climb.

Yes, ground pictures go to the plane, then to the satellite.

Maybe it snows in space

The plane serves for retransmitting the signal from the motos. Without it, no pictures.
They can't use it because the control tower of the airport didn't give permission, due to bad weather.

 

[SafeBet]

Nice stage win for Pietropolli.

If he gets to the bottom of the climb with 5 minutes he's safe.

 

[icefire]

RAI commentators saying that likely finish for tomorrow is Plan Lachat? We'll see...

What about the final climb? Stationary cameras?

 

[The GCW]

Final may show up on live vid.

On the live stream they keep showing the finish line (along with highlights and lowlights), so if nothing else We'll see the final meters.

 

[spalco]

Every Italian race has horrible coverage.

It's kind of charming when the picture is breaking up occasionally towards the top of the mountain, but it's not when there are no pictures at all.

 

[Eshnar]

What about the final climb? Stationary cameras?

on the final km. We'll get to see the sprint.

 

[roundabout]

What about the final climb? Stationary cameras?

Last km and a replay from the motos once it's finished?

 

[nesocip]

Cenis and Galibier officially cancelled for tomorrow, according to italian ticker.

New route to be announced during the evening.

EDIT: Tomorrow, not during the evening.

 

[manafana]

[Eshnar]

RAI commentators saying that likely finish for tomorrow is Plan Lachat? We'll see...

no, he said they could finish there, but it was a wishful thinking only.

 

[Miburo]

DT is right, this weather is really getting ****ing annoying

You'll see, it'll be an epic climb...

That's our luck.

 

[JRanton]

Well this is disappointing to say the least...

It'll be an epic climb, but we won't see it

Nibali was injured and didn't have a train. Good try though.
