Seriously.. dutch commentator is still doing her introduction, and Eurosport goes to commercials. They've been broadcasting 1 minute :rolleyes:

Yeah, lol :eek: sucks that Sporza has been cutting big time in cycling broadcast.

Eurosport can suck it. 30 minuts late and now that they've start showing it they go on commercial break rightaway.

It's cause of Wuyts's ego i'm sure of. He prefers to broadcast Suisse instead of dauphine. Looks ridiculous but i wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason why they do the tour de Suisse.

Objectively speaking the dauphine is way more important knowing the top tour contenders are here and the winner of the tour almost always came from the dauphine.

Why is that? And not only Dauphine of course, also Pais Vasco, Romandie,...

Appearently, the last part is headwind, and the wind's been picking up all day. Explains why early starters go faster there

They never did Pais Vasco. Romandy they always do, just like this year.

Definitely has something to do with finance.

Cause there are more belgians in Suisse and Cancellara always does it. The guys from Sporza got a big boner for Cancellara.

Yea of course finance too but my point is that they should drop Suisse and do Dauphine. And also drop boring *** Romandie and do another spanish WT race.

Really? Always thought they used to do Pais Vasco. Romandie I couldn't watch this year, but I seem to remember they dropped it for a few years. Could be wrong though.

They dropped it for a year indeed, but the last 2 editions were live on Sporza again.

Is Jungels takin' it? What were the odds, 1:120? :D

Not sure if he'll take it, but I was surprised no one else called him before I did last night :D

I'm going to stick Bob Jungels into the mix for a Top Ten here.

Was 40/1 btw, but I didn't bother backing in the end.
