[Tinnekeisabella]

Is there a livestream to the presentation somewhere?

Is there a livestream to the presentation somewhere?

I should think so. There are no fewer than two TV channels in Denmark who will show it.

I just hope that RedheadDane gets to watch it, otherwise each stage will be a total mystery to her next year.

Why would it be that?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Why would it be that?

The joke is that she hates watching events on replay, but she still looks at results so it kind of falls apart.

I have to throw in a flat comment every now and then. As any good poster knows, it helps your queen posts shine all the more.

P.S. Where the hell is topcat at a time like this?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Strange procession of riders across the stage, with evident lack of place provided for them to leave their belongings, and no message about the dress code.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Cavendish is there, perhaps the B&B situation not so dire...
Matthews looks like he is unsure of how to walk

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

So the women's Tour is 6 flat/hilly stages rendered irrelevant by Tourmalet, with a 22 km ITT to finish lest anyone is still within 5 minutes of AvV.

 

[tonymikejoe]

I should think so. There are no fewer than two TV channels in Denmark who will show it.

It is currently a two-hour live programme on Eurosport.

Nice video of the 2022 Tour. Horrible that Ant McCrossan needs to destroy it every other second. Couldn't they have used Rob Hatch's commentary?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

That's OK Rob, we can read the subtitles.

 

[Mayomaniac]

What kind of voice actor have they hired? The whole thing sounds over the top and overly dramatic?

 

[KZD]

Only one ITT, Passy - Combloux, no TTT apparently.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

St 1 includes Col de Pike: I'm disappointed that they have told us its name.

 

[Earns1985]

5th and 6th stage already Pyrenees incl. Tourmalet?

 

[tobydawq]

I look forward to seeing the Puy de Dôme. It has quite a big status in the history of the race, so it's strange for all of us young hardcore fans to never have seen it in action.

 

[Bavarianrider]

What an absolute shitshow. But hey, that`s what new school snow flake fans want.
See you in 2024. Maybe.

 

[Laplaz]

One 22 km ITT. Pathetic.

 

[spalco]

But hey, that`s what new school snow flake fans want.

Is that really so actually? I don't know.

And all the current top GC guys are strong TTers anyway, I don't really understand it.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Women's route is a disgrace, I thought they wanted to build on a (very good) restart of 2022 but they actually went backwards and made it worse.

 

[Jan the Man]

Unbalanced route. I don’t understand why at all to be honest.

Did you watch this year's race? Or did you just think it would be bad because of the route which didn't live up to your criteria?

 

[glassmoon]

Pa - the - tic

 

[Ricco']

Unbalanced route. I don’t understand why at all to be honest.

RCS paid ASO to be sure Rainbow Remco would 200% go to the Giro
