Do motorbike cameras not have zoom on them that makes it look like they are motor pacing?

they do, and I dont understand why they dont use them more to avoid these kinds of problems (though for the cameraman it might become a bit more motion sickness inducing as what youre looking at is then out of sync with what youre feeling on the bike), but you could see the rail of the back of the motorbike in some of it, so it wasnt zoomed in much at all.

I kind of wondered when Herregodts came pass whether the motor rider had been told you're having to much impact pull back by race control, but by then the damage had been done

Ciccone 13th, not bad. I guess he wants to ride for the gc here, since his goals for the Tour are a stage win and the KoM jersey.

Zoom probably also wouldn't be very useful on twisty roads. I don't think anyone has invented zoom that can go around corners.

I couldn't give two fiddlers fucks about a stage win in the CdD. I tuned in to see if Ala had decided to make his world shattering comeback today or not. It's still on ice. We might have to wait till the tour, but it's coming.

Herregodts trying to muster a smile on the podium, regardless of motopacing he did have to put in the effort by his lonesome.
