2016, 70th Tour de Romandie, April 26th - May 1st, WT

[Red Rick]

I'm watching a weird stream that seems like a podcast and for the first time I'm now realising that there is really no such thing as live sound in cycling. Still feels odds

There's no live english commentary, so the streamers are doing it themselves.

Re: Re:

What a terrible season this has been for Meintjes thus far.

I really dont understand why he went to Lampre in the first place. That team looks like a mess right now.

He's pretty close with the team manager Copeland and he probably knew about the new sponsor and the team signing Cav and Lampre kinda looked like a decent team in 2015.

I wouldn´t call it karma, but after MTN developed him, he signed elsewhere.
it was a big blow for them

How do you mean?

Re:

Tejay on his way out of the top ten after having spent so much energy with this move.

He has a minute advantage, don't think he'll lose some a lot of time on the riders behind him in the GC.

Spilak goes! Soon its Zakarin time!!!

You would think he signed for the opportunity to be captain in some WT races but his calendar has been the same of Rui Costa. Doesn't really make any sense.

I posted that while they were on the flat and had less than 30s on the peloton.

The tempo is sharp, so the front group is working really hard.

Ah that explains it.

@TMP402
Well, if you think about it there's really nothing to hear in cycling, but the little that is (the moto, the helicopter, the cars) seems pretty important for immersion. At least for me.

costa is not going for the GC in the tour anymore.

Woah, Zeits is still there, impresive

Yeah, I enjoy the streams Eurosport does without commentary.

Saronni said that Costa should go for one week races and hilly classics, Meintjes will probably the team leader at the Tour.

Time to show biceps for Spilak!

Yeah, it's Rob Hatch. From what I understand there's only commentary and not the actual race sound wherever he is doing the coverage.
