Hm...he disappeared now. It says Gadret in the chasing group.
Yeah, I got confused because the graphic has Gadret in the group.Jalgratas95 said:Netserk said:Nibali now in virtual yellow.
Valverde should be.
Netserk said:Five riders in the lead
Tony Martin has been rejoined by the quartet formed of Nibali, Valverde, Rui Costa and Gallopin. The yellow-blue jersey group has decided to slow down and wait for more chasers. It's now a peloton of approximately 50 riders, including Nacer Bouhanni, timed at 2.50 at km 102.
I think Valverde might have switched bike with Gadret at one point, since the graphic thinks it's him in the break. Hmm. I thought you weren't allowed to give mechanical assistance to another team? #TeamGadret
It's an old joke. Gadret only rides for team Gadret.Jalgratas95 said:Netserk said:Five riders in the lead

No worries. Gadret is in Movistar.

I guess you don't know a thing about how broadcasting works. they need an airplane in the air the whole time as well. even just for motorbike camera'sMiburo said:This is the nibali we all know, good job.
This is one of the best seasons we had in a while, sadly enough some of the epic ones will never been seen by us. Need live coverage
Is it reallly that expensive to let the camera's run on the moto, the whole time? Ok you can't do it live on tv in the beginnning but give the fans a livestream until the tv coverage starts.
Like why not? I don't get cycling sometimes.

to even have any kind of camera transmitting, from a motorbike or anything an airplane is needed in the air constantly.Miburo said:Ryo Hazuki said:I guess you don't know a thing about how broadcasting works. they need an airplane in the air the whole time as well. even just for motorbike camera'sMiburo said:This is the nibali we all know, good job.

i don't need the airplane, motorbike is enough. Why would that be such a big effort? Explain to me since you know a lot about it
