Mallorca coming up on Max this week.

Alula is looking like Flobikes for Americans. And I don't do Flobikes.

Edit: it looks the Australian SBS showing Alula. So if you have VPN it's available in English.
Thanks for the Alula heads-up, it actually has a pretty good startlist! (https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/alula-tour/2025/startlist) And the time difference isn't as crazy as the recent TDU one. (Only +11 hours for me rather than 18 or 19, the latter just don't compute.)
 
Just when we get a taste of cycling, things look a bit bleak for the next week, with only Oman availabe at zero dark hundred.

I suppose we could watch Daytona 500 qualifying.
FOX with their usual disregard for truth in their Super Bowl ads promoting Daytona 500: calling it the biggest car/motorsports race in the country? Maybe for their heavy viewership in the South it is. But Indy 500 is still tops.

I think rather than put it this way.. Show sponsorship investment and viewers, race attendance in a bar graph for last 40 years!! NASCAR is in freefall!!! And to be fair likely a bar graph would show everything would spike during Armstrong era with steep decline afterward.
I don't know anything for sure but I feel like pro bike racing has had some increased numbers over last @4-5 years (?) In my household I have watched more bike racing in last 5 years than ever before.. MTB, gravel, cyclocross, Olympics, worlds and regular pro season.. I have been to 2 NASCAR events in my lifetime, I didn't pay for the tickets, have never watched an entire NASCAR race on TV...ever.
 
I subscribe to flobikes in Canada.
This is the 3rd race in a row I have watched the last half hour or hour live and it buffers and crashes in the last kilometer.
Saw Pederson and Mohoric until around 500m, then when it came back the peloton was rolling thru the finish.
WTF!!! Its like old tiz from back in the day.

On the American one I can use the small gear like icon on the video and lower the resolution to lets say 540, though Flow usually runs smoothly but when it doesn't run smoothly set to the lower resolutions if needed.. I watch on replay so that might make the difference. When I don't have time I also like to right click on video and adjust the speed of replay sometimes to 2x sometimes to 1.5 but always reset to 1x near finish but I like to reset to .5x for a few seconds as the audio commentary can seem slow at first when setting to 1x.
