2014 Tour de France, Stage 16: Carcassonne–Bagnères-de-Luchon (237.5 Km)

[One Eyed Aussie]

I just don't understand, why aso doesn't do early coverages from stages like this, when it's pretty obvious the the forming of the escape is going to get uggly.

So much this.

Very exciting racing to not be able to watch

I think we'll get full coverage of all stages in some years.

 

[Jagartrott]

More chances now for someone not being in the original breakaway now I guess...

it isn't ASO, it is France television the French TV channel and image provider for the rest who picks the stages where they want to do live tv. The problem with a stage like today is that in all likelihood the first 30/50ks are fun, than you have 100ks of nothing and again some action + it starts very early compared to the others.

I am as frustrated as you are but can understand chosing the next 2 instead of this one.

The tour live ticker is quite good - doesnt show info on every rider but normally does on important ones.

Break is caught. Everything going to be back together on the cote.

 

[manafana]

strange one, seriously hard day on the cards

 

[wirral]

Look at those splitters fleeing from the bus with the Aussie burgers and ice creams as if nothing happened. There's nothing worse than a fairweather soignie.

 

[jens_attacks]

purito group came back almost meh...

 

[trevim]

Garmin is so funny.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Brown power continues with the attack...

 

[MBotero]

Garmin is so funny.

I think they just trolling because of Bauer stage win nearly miss.

 

[Frosty]

New break of 15?

 

[jens_attacks]

now i think the correct breakaway is gone

 

[l.Harm]

Break of 15. Now everybody should be satisfied I guess.

 

[Punter]

Garmin is so funny.

Would be classic if after all this they fail to get a rider into the 2nd break
