2018 Strade Bianche, 1.UWT, 03.03.18

[Samamba]

Bunch is back together. 8 rider breakaway has 6 minutes. So it calmed down.

If July, Nibali is someone to be scared of. I wonder how serious he is about this race

 

[Rollthedice]

live pictures on Eurosport player with ladies race, 21 km to go, everything is wet and muddy, raining.

To give EBH 6 minutes in this weather in this route is not probably the best strategy.

the ES live feed from the womens race look epic....van der breggen gone out the front

 

[Rollthedice]

Confirmed out of the first 10, Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ), Sepp Kuss (Team LottoNL - Jumbo), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data), Mark Padun (Bahrain Merida Pro Cycling Team), Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Soudal). Then a group of 60 led by Sky not that far behind. Then what's left at 5 minutes.

Speak for yourself, this is pretty exciting (apart from van der breggen's superiority)

Re:

Eurosport player shows Siena, finish line. Raining heavily. They are supposed to broadcast the women's race.

I'm watching the women's race on player now. It's very wet out there!

Pretty hard to stay calm when you're missing a big part of one of the best races of the year for no good reason. I don't understand why boring tdf stages have more than 2 hours of coverage yet this apparently only deserves a measly hour.

I was just wondering the other day when looking for possible wild card riders, what's the deal with him. He DNF both Omloop an K-B-K. Who knows in what sort of form he might be.

Wouldn't be so much of an issue if we could get accurate info on that is happening in the mens race
Although knowing the gap between Borghini and the remanent of the peleton would be good

I guess one of the reason for late coverage is that they are using same equipment to cover the women's race. Though why the men's race couldn't have started a bit later to have more coverage time, I don't know.

The breakaway is not at six minutes, it is around 3 minutes they are under control.

But they do watch women's racing?

4+ hours of non-stop action coming up, but yeah, just a hipster race

it is shown in the uncommented part of the ES player, the womens race, hardly where the general public might just zap in. The mens race is also uncommented on ES player today btw. I suppose Sporza / Belgian TV will be live, but as usual geolocalized
