Etixx is one of the best teams here. Verona, De La Cruz, very good riders to have in support.

It seems etixx is the astana of last year, to a lesser extent. The power of the pink!

I don't think they are one of the best but they are respectable enough. They are doing a very good job so far.

Who are better? If Brambilla also goes in full support mode now.

Re: Re:

wtf is wrong with Eurosport, why are they showing inspired fans instead of live racing?!

Pretty sure it's the TV producers in Italy who are showing those random pictures. Various TV channels (sp?) over the world just show the pictures they get they get them.
But, yeah... those random cuts are a bit frustrating.

My Eurosport (Serbia) showed some random spot of TOP 10 fans... anyway: What's with Nibali?

Looking at Visconti's crash again, it is quite clear Visconti tried to turn around the corner but Cunego could not turn as sharply inside him because of the idiots on the road. The finish line was badly placed but I think it would have been okay if there was nobody on the road.

The stage is 2km shorter than the profile apparently.
At the profile it shows the Crai GPM at 89.1 to go. They passed it at 87.2

La Ronca has still too many bananas to lose

 

[DenisMenchov]

I wrote it three days ago, have to do it again. Cunego is such a nice guy, you see he's genuinely sorry for Visconti's injuries.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Just tuned in, how serious is Visconti's condition?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Not to bad: raced Cunego hard for KoM points 22km after the fall

@Europsport commentators

Innsbruck, INNSBRUCK!!!
that's were the World Championship is going to be...not Salzburg

 

[TheGreenMonkey]

Considering how hard he hit the ground he is hardly injured at all.

 

[DenisMenchov]

Poor Denifl.

Relax. You've already had the world championships in 2006 and 2010, there's no reason to be stressed.

 

[stetre76]

2010 they were in Melbourne >>> Australia
> No Kangaroos in Austria

 

[Fernandez]

Im pretty sure Cunego hit Visconti (not on purpose) and thats the reason he fell down.

 

[Karaev1]

anybody knows what happened to Denifl?

Re:

Damn, I was hoping you'd get angrier

Re:

I think he didnt expect to have a chance if he is alone on the flat so he went back to the big break on purpose.

 

[stetre76]

@GuyIncognito no reason - mixing up Austria/Australia isn't as bad as mixing up Innsbruck and Salzburg

 

[Karaev1]

Him just stayiing on the side of the road was strange tho... Never seen something like that. He could've just slow down a bit...

 

[liamito]

Bob wants to win the stage? Etixx could slow down a bit.

Well, 99.9% of the world's population wouldn't be able to make the distinction or point either out on a map.

Re: Re:

De Cauwer is the best and the guy is just rational. He's nothing too special but he's clearly the best.

Vannieuwkerke is also really good, his knowledge of cycling is very good although i don't like him and he rarely is a commentator anymore.

I really wish we have a Vannieuwkerke. We have to be satisfied with Dijkstra and Ducrot

Vannieuwkerke is not only the best host, but also a really good commentator indeed. I really enjoyed his commentary during the Giro's he did and Paris-Roubaix/Liege.

De Cauwer is the best. I dread the day he quits.
