No Carlton. Bisegger wasn't in the same crash as Ganna. That was Flynn. Keep up.

No marks out of ten for the field art today either...Are we getting recipes from Jonathan this year?
Well arguably all decisions are deliberate.Nope, in the giro there was 3 streams. It's a deliberate decision
Looks from the app as though the Women's Giro will have ad-free coverage on Discovery+. So this is purely taking advantage of the Tour.
It wasn't that they missed the Ackermann attack: it was misidentified as Stewart, and, being thought to be a British rider, it was acclaimed as heroic, plucky, race-defining, and destined to be successful until it wasn't.I was watching some coverage yesterday of ITV (UK) on my phone yesterday whilst out. Even on a small screen I could see Remco getting pushed off the road and he didn't make the split.
So how the f#@k can professional commentators miss it?
Same when Ackerman opened his sprint way too early. Boulting almost shot his load. It was clear he was opening it way too early.
I see 'Gee' wasn't criticised either for missing the split too.

On ITV they definitely called it out as Ackermann. It's difficult to miss Stewart due to his sleeved tattoos 🤣It wasn't that they missed the Ackermann attack: it was misidentified as Stewart, and, being thought to be a British rider, it was acclaimed as heroic, plucky, race-defining, and destined to be successful until it wasn't.
Totally agree. I enjoy his podcasts because it's got history in it and that's something I enjoy. But he does miss a lot during races.Neds never been that great at commentating these races imo, he's always been a better reporter/writer/presenter and sort of ended up in the booth because ITV didnt know where else to go without Liggett & Duffers.
No. I would guess whether that is available depends on the host broad broadcaster, not TNT.but does the Womens giro have the quad view thing ?
Because that is at the cost of what they have consistently promoted as their offerI genuinely think whilst yes theyre trying to maximise revenue from their biggest cycling race they have, and why wouldnt they.
Not the impression I have had from the small bit of feedback I had seen.and the fans claimed to have liked the quad view thing,
I would suggest that if they had dropped the quad-screen instead, no-one would have objected.so thats the TdF stream number 2 theyve gone , for now, we'll see what happens during the week,as in theory there should be more room come available.
He's back today. Fancy private school event yesterday.Are we getting recipes from Jonathan this year?
watching the team cars in the convoy is rather nerve wrackingHmm, ads or no replays/no interviews/lot of redundant camera shots. What to go with? Here's my plan :- multi-screen till 30 kms to go then switch over to the ad-ridden coverage. Hopefully they will have had the last ad.
Bengsch is crazily and unhealthy obsessed with all things german its really disturbing actually... cant listen to german feed when hes on; should rly be working for ARD w that attitude of his„Couldn‘t be more bitter for Pascal Ackermann“ Robert Bengsch on German ES
Well, I doubt Ackermann hates his teammate as much. Didn‘t even comment on Stewart winning, just about how he might usurp Ackermann. What horrible attitude and behaviour. Doubled down on it being horrible for Ackermann like a billion times as well
Honestly was like a funeral after Jesper Philipsen crashed for the following 20km, it's like they don't understand that crashes are part of bike races. It's ashame they don't have the same concern for the paying customers of TNT who they are absolutely shafting.With all these crashes I made the right choice watching on ITV rather than listen to Hatch screaming "No No No No No No".
Glad I missed the Hatch-led mourn-in. Crashes do unfortunately happen, but the racing goes on.Honestly was like a funeral after Jesper Philipsen crashed for the following 20km, it's like they don't understand that crashes are part of bike races.
