2025 Tour of the Alps (April 21-25)

[Tim Cahill]

Nothing says phoning it in prep race like the lesser Bais brother managing to stick in an impressive looking attack on the last climb from the GC group.

 

[Red Rick]

What absolute sights

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Baisanity at the finish line, but he's probably not gonna make it.

 

[Salvarani]

And now we wait

 

[RedheadDane]

Uhm... what? (From PCS):

Standing on the virtual podium after two weeks of racing in the 2001 Giro d'Italia, Wladimir Belli was thrown out of the race after punching a spectator on the climb of Santa Barbara during stage 14. The victim, later revealed to be rival Gilberto Simoni's 18-year-old nephew, pardoned Belli, but the race jury was unanimous in their decision to disqualify the rider of Fassa Bortolo.

Just random TV issues being random again. Nice.
What is causing this?

An act of God. Knew we should've cancelled the stage as they did the football

 

[Potomac]

the problem is "with this side of the alps" according to the commentators

 

[Tim Cahill]

They've cancelled the football!?

 

[hayneplane]

Amateur hour broadcasting in Italy. Maybe Papal death coverage is sucking all their internet supply

the problem is "with this side of the alps" according to the commentators

But what does that mean? Does this side of the alps engage in electronic warfare?

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Amateur hour broadcasting in Italy. Maybe Papal death coverage is sucking all their internet supply

Maybe their relaying the broadcast via a single phone over the internet. Would make sense why it might be unreliable on "this side of the alps".

 

[Potomac]

But what does that mean? Does this side of the alps engage in electronic warfare?

I think are comparing Italy vs Austria

 

[RedheadDane]

But what does that mean? Does this side of the alps engage in electronic warfare?

What even does "this side of the Alps" even mean?
Pretty sure my definition would be different from someone in, well, Italy...

They said 5G from a mobile phone earlier in the stage

Italians just being italian

 

[Tim Cahill]

Race result will be known when white smoke plumes from Mauro Vegni's chimney.

[RedheadDane]

A lucky spectator just got a nice new pair of sunglasses!

 

[Salvarani]

Ciccone wins!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Idiot's going to take someone's eye out doing that

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Ciccone just casually throwing away his sunglasses in celebration. Does he do this more often?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yeah, the stage just screamed Ciccone sprint win to me after what happened on Durone, and he delivered the goods.

 

[DJO]

Well that was hard work, watching.

Hopefully his glass are not too expensive, or he will blow all his salary on continually throw them.
