TL;DR

The site that shall not be named gets a level of credit on this forum that it frankly doesn't deserve.
A fitting punishment - apart from being subjected to my puns - to anyone caught trying to promote it should be that they should be forced to only watch cycling there!
Before I acquired and learned how to use a VPN I frequented the site that shall not be named often, here in the States year-round cycling coverage can be hard to come by. Sure, it's not the best way to experience cycling because the site can get choppy (especially toward the last few kms of a race when evidently everyone logs on), but as a last resort I think it serves well enough.

It's perfectly fine if you don't want to use that or similar sites, but you should no matter what stop acting like it's impossible to watch some races just because you refuse to do it.

I would estimate that I watch between 50-75 stages and faces (races) per year on that site that shouldnt be mentioned and I have no experiences as bad as what you say that you have apprently every single time. Maybe 3-5 times per year the site frustrates me, the rest of the time it works well enough. Every time i see you complain about this site and it doesn’t fit with my experiences I feel like you must be doing something wrong lol

Those 3-5 time most have coincided with some of the few times I've bothered giving *** another chance.

But Tricycle Rider propably summed it up best; it's a last resort!

BTW... you're waching what? :p
