Who is the commentator on the cycling hub stream?

Where?

On cyclinghub. Scottish accent on one of them. Now there is no video so it is even worse LOL!

That's David and Jesper. They're just fans, it's not an official stream. Jesper is the owner of cyclinghub. David writes about cycling.

Oh I see. Now I have no expectations Thanks! It's the only English one that worked, but here is no race being shown.....

Yes, no images because of bad weather. Last time the camera pointed to the sky it looked like a thunderstorm was coming.

edit: Yep, showers.

 

[Gigs_98]

This coverage is almost as awesome as the coverage in the classica san sebastian. World tour races
At least the US open final will start soon so I have something else to watch
edit: I guess we don't have coverage because of the rain, but is that really a reason, I mean its not like we never get coverage when it rains somewhere.

Impressive amount of rain, I suppose some will call it a day and stop here

 

[Kwibus]

Images are back. Serious rain!

 

[BigMac]

@Roude Yep, got the same feeling.

Just look at that, love the rain.

@Kwi: That's only the finish images unfortunately.

Re:

I think they're quite entertaining. Remember, they're just two guys watching a stream like us and commentating. And they seem to know a lot about cycling.

 

[RedheadDane]

Pretty glad I'm not in Canada riding my bike right now. That is some downpour!

 

[BigMac]

Haha, I want one of those umbrellas.

Did the Sporza announcer just translate ''merde il pleut''?

 

[Roude Leiw]

I am a bit at a loss though how it is possible that in the 21st century no live pictures of a road race because of bad weather. I mean the Belgian TV was able to show Gent Wevelgem, so how worse could conditions be than there ??

 

[BigMac]

Yep, quite unbelievable. I just hope they're trying to fix things because It would be quite a fiasco to only get images from the fixed finish camera until the end.

Edit: peloton looked very stretched, most of these guys have abandoned meanwhile: https://twitter.com/PascBlisle/status/643144408200794112

 

[Gigs_98]

Haha the cycling hub guys just compared the vuelta with star wars

 

[Carols]

LOL Okay I'm outta here, these guys are funny but without race coverage it's just silly .

 

[BigMac]

I bet the finale is going to be interesting.

Oh well, ticker: http://gpcqm.ca/en/home/live-montreal-2015/

 

[hrotha]

This guy sounds veeeeery vaguely like Wheatley.

Probably

 

[Samamba]

Greg Henderson still in the bunch, strong guy!

 

[Gigs_98]

pfffff, who needs live coverage when we can see the speed and the pulse of voeckler

 

[Delberan]

Kristoff on the tail of the Oreca train

 

[Roude Leiw]

pfffff, who needs live coverage when we can see the speed and the pulse of voeckler

I find that actually a pretty cool feature. All riders should have that transponder on their bike.

 

[jsem94]

Wow, the excitement. I can barely contain myself.
