Remco attacked then?

Almeida responds!

 

[Taxus4a]

He has got 6 minutes of advantage already.

Almeida responds!

Cavagna joins them. QS going with a TTT as Ganna chases them down.

 

[Red Rick]

Scenes when all the tickers are wrong and the break has 20 minutes now.

Nibali counters!

Nibali counters!

I see they're all doomed now. Here comes Ponomar

 

[MartinGT]

Because ASO is in the 20th century and uses fixed wing aircraft, not cheap helicopters

Or maybe the fixed wing aircraft above the clouds cannot pick up the transmissions from the helicopters & motos as the cloud cover is that DENSE. Just sayin.

Pozzovivo follows.

 

[spalco]

A herd of sheep run onto the road and block the peloton!

I don't think they're even updating at this stage. PCS has been at 4:45 for about 5 mins now

 

[Remy55]

Break at 4:45 - 80 to go

 

[Rollthedice]

I don't think they're even updating at this stage. PCS has been at 4:45 for about 5 mins now

Twilight Zone, the peloton vanished.

 

[Taxus4a]

Now Landa is on the front with a minute with that group of Remco and Nibali.

Yes. I wouldn't put that much blame on TV production.
Happens everywhere.

Wow, I thought I had entered that other thread by mistake for a moment!

Edit: I'm actually still not sure I haven't

so whos gonna be the Francois Simon of this Giro?

 

[search]

We all know what bad weather does though, so hard men like De Marchi, Hermans and Serry might actually be better in the end... if it comes down to a breakaway win.

yeah, I guess most remember the day when Daniele Ratto won a mountain stage in the Vuelta...

Fiorelli worked on his climbing over the past year, and said he'd be aiming more for the hilly stages than pure sprints in this Giro. Maybe he can go for a similar surprise if the weather turns out to be really, really bad. But it's probably a bit too much to ask (and he also was dropped yesterday, for whatever reason)

 

[Rollthedice]

Hopefully somebody in charge with the TV coverage is doing something else than wait for the rain to stop.

Takes a wrong turn wanting to avoid the sheep herd!

 

[Panda Claws]

Who would win out of the break if it stays ahead? I don't see a clear favorite at first glance.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The rain has caused the other thread to start leaking!

Id lean towards Conti, Hermans or Valter

ASO never has this issue. Been some bad weather in the mountains in recent years in the tour, and coverage has continued

When it rains it pours, I suppose

ASO have had this issue at the TDY when a full stage wasn't broadcast due to the bad weather.
