Re:

Unfortunately TV2 will start later because of a handball match (semifinals, so I can understand it), so I will have to do with a stream for the first 45 minutes of the Giro.

Don't your nation has a local Eurosport?

Yeah, but I don't have Eurosport.

Re: Re:

Looks like it's going to be way off my 18 minutes estimate.
The map is deceiving. Lots off twists on the narrow path.

Lots of twists?? there looks to be mostly (soft) headwind though.

Don't tell me the road through the town isn't twisty.
If it makes only 10% of the such a short route it knocks the average massively.

Only the final k is, which was still ridden in 1'09" by Astana according to Belgian commentator. So you're making up excuses here mate

Re:

Jspear you are always a couple of secs late posting the time. Others are faster...

My stream always seems to be behind....and the tv is 10 seconds behind the stream. I think he uses beIN also.

No mate, pointing out the facts.

Trek lost a couple seconds there, dropping a rider in the final straight. Not much of a loss in the overall scheme of things though

Ah, ok. I'm glad I do so I don't have to deal with Kirby. Just the sound of his voice makes me sick.

He's the english commentator for RCS sport along eith Dan Lloyd from GCN.

Negative split folks, don't worry

 

[Velolover2]

Re: Re:

Is knowing the immediate times even an advantage? I've always wondered about that.

Why wouldn't it be?

Hopefully it will. I'd love to see Basso in the pink jersey again.
