Colombia 2.1 (Feb 12-17)

Re: Re:

The escape group most likely winning the stage. Óscar Sevilla (Medellín) most likely may be the new race leader at the end of the day

Why would that be likely? The latest tweet 7 minutes back says: Situación de carrera: 55’’ la fuga del pelotón #TourColombia2019. Restan 20 KM And I understand that only Simon Pellaud and Oscar Sevilla are up front.

When i posted they were up by 2 minutes, now they are going to have a sprint

You should follow the race through Antena 2. Apparently the images on ESPN were far from correct.

It is a shame that ESPN is so bad. Senal Colombia was better last year

The ESPN coverage left much to be desired - An occasional overhead shot for around a minute and then only the last 300 metres - Interspersed with inane chattering by the commentators who were probably following the LACK of pictures and every 30 seconds having a commercial on the bottom of the screen - Finally, I saw a time gap twice in nearly 2 hours of coverage.

No idea why a single European pro would risk their season coming to South America.

- Weather
- Altitude
- Racing miles in competition
- etc.

If your team has several Colombians like most of them then it is not a bad idea. Just bring a couple or three Europeans. Allaphilipe is doing a repeat in South America after an awesome season.

I think it was a jab at Jancouver.

I understand why they go there but the production was an embarrassment. And a deterioration from last year.

Showing that ESPN is great at broadcasting but horrible at producing

Re:

Procyclingstats has updated the stage and they have now Martinez as the leader of the youth classification.

So why did the organizers give the white jersey to Hodeg yesterday?

 

[Escarabajo]

Why is it so hard to have a good broadcast of this race? why?
They have the money, the fans, the riders. I just don't understand why!

I don’t think the broadcaster has the savoir-faire.

You could actually check the context and when the comment was posted instead of posting random links.

 

[Robert5091]

I don't want to push this but someone f***ed up at the organizers or EF by not realizing Martinez is under 25 until after stage 1's TTT. Now it's solved, let's move on to the actual racing.

Today's stage 3 looks like a sprint again. Hope Gaviria is not still sick.

 

[Taxus4a]

Today's circuit is pretty hard. It is a stage of 3800 m, and it is all above 2000 m altitude.
I think that even GC riders will be playing his role at the end.

 

[DNP-Old]

Gaviria DNS.

 

[Taxus4a]

Hope to see Uran again with the leader. I dont think it will be a bunch sprint.

Re:

EF don’t want the leader jersey though.

 

[DNP-Old]

(Fuga de seis corredores) Ivan Sosa Richard Carapaz Miguel Ángel López Cristian Muñoz Dayer Quintana Oscar Quiroz

 

[Squire]

That's a pretty serious fuga.

 

[Taxus4a]

If nobody take the control properly, one of this guys could win the Tour. So dangerous move. It is EF who must take control to put this one in less than one minute at the end at least.

 

[Salvarani]

These ended up in the break in the end:

Fabio Duarte
William Muñoz
José Castro
Brayan Ramírez
Steven Cuesta
Marvin Angarita

Was that Froome and Bernal try to outsprint each other

 

[Dukerojo]

better broadcasting today. I guess that the meeting with the federation last night had its results

 

[Dukerojo]

Re:

I think it was Narvaez or Henao

 

[Taxus4a]

Hodeg losing time.
