De Brabantse Pijl: April 14th 2021

[Wvv]

Ouch Vollering.

It honestly looked like Demi to me at first glance. This shot surprises me.

 

[Oliver]

Wow that's close!

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Now lost my internet signal just past the results list announcement with Ruth Winder as winner.
This is not right. Demi Vollering won by a hub diameter, clearly seen at the slowmo. Are they blind?

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Ouch Vollering.

It honestly looked like Demi to me at first glance. This shot surprises me.

Wow. Completely other picture at the live slomo signal, where Vollering was winner by more than a thick rim. Did they move the finish line at this imaginary photo?

 

[Wvv]

Ouch Vollering.

It honestly looked like Demi to me at first glance. This shot surprises me.

I don't get the fotofinish either when I see this slomo still...

What are they doing with the green lines? Shouldn't they be tangents to the front wheels...?

Its like VAR in football, the lines are where they want them to be, measured differently every time depending who is judging.

That's not how they do it in football, football fans are just not capable of understanding 3D graphics.

 

[Wvv]

Both before and after the line, Vollering has the advantage. How can the photofinish say something different?

 

[Skalman]

That's not how they do it in football, football fans are just not capable of understanding 3D graphics.

Thats not it, not to derail the thread but its down to where to draw the lines, one draw them at the arm pit, an other one draw the lines at the shoulder, which the first one omit.
Different rules to different judges lead to confusion why one call was made and the other not.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It definitely looks like SD Worx would have had a case if they had protested the result.

Vollering can take revenge in AGR on Sunday, where she will have a reasonable chance. But it will depend on how the race develops and whether van der Breggen recovers from her current illness.

 

[Krokro]

In french eusp they mentionned that the finish cam has been wrongly angled. That's why?
But still surprising imo.

About the Moskesstraat:

According to Tomas Van Den Spiegel (Flanders Classic) there was no mortar used in the reconstruction, they got rid of the tarmac spots and all the old cobbles were used. With the rain everything between the cobbles should be washed away by September.

So at the WC it should be close to the same difficulty level as before even if today it probably is a lot easier to ride on.

Counter attack by Rob Stannard and Bystrom. Things starting to heat up.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Finn Fisher Black did a lot of work in the peloton early on, and now got dropped.

It looks like the camera (from the video image) is just slightly past the finish line. Maybe that is enough to affect the image? The official camera is not this camera correct? Isn't it a high-speed still image camera? From those video images, it really does look like they got it wrong.

Finishphoto is taken by a special technical camera. A regular camera has lens distortion and can also be affected by rolling shutter.

 

[SafeBet]

Van Aert will be forced to attack soon. Only one teammate left and most teams have a man ahead.

Edit: ok there's more than one.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That crash looked awful. Bad day in that regard, with Turkey and now this.

 

[Krokro]

I'm worried for Geniets, hope he's fine.

Straight spokes are an indication of no rolling shutter.
If there is a camera with rolling shutter that's clearly the special one. However, the spokes' curvature indicates that the camera readout is done column by column from left to right, so the effect is the same regardless of the perceived vertical position of the riders within the 2D frame.
To me the apparent mismatch between takes from the two cameras looks weird. If it is down to lens distortion, that's a toy lens.

 

[Wvv]

Turgis and Matthews were the biggest victims (rave favourite wise) from that massive crash 10 minutes ago.

 

[tobydawq]

That French reporter interviewing Dylan Teuns in English... I don't have enough band-aid for my ears.

 

[SafeBet]

Leknessund with great legs today. Finally.
