What's happened to De Gendt?! :lol:

 

[LaFlorecita]

If Roglic doesn't get distanced on the final climb today then there could be a major regrouping. Even someone like McCarthy is not out of it at 66-1.

He's in the break. Not sure if that's better or worse for his chances

Jose Herrada virtual leader.

Movistar just destroyed the bunch. Not a lot of riders left.

Today it's national #Landismo day.

Wait, what? Eurosport isn't showing this because a bunch of hillbillies on motorcycles are doing free practice? :')

Edit: Nvm, they are showing it. The guy doing commentary on motorcycling was just being wrong

The so called 3rd ball.

Naturally Nibail has too much cojones for his own good.

There ain't no live coverage on Eurosport Germany until the Moto GP practice session is finished because of contractual commitments.

That is just sad. I mean, whatever you think of MotoGP - free practice (the first freakin' round) is totally irrelevant. I think I even saw one guy smoking a joint while he was on his bike...

It's beyond me how free practice can have higher TV ratings than an actual sport competition. There is always the cliche from motorsport haters that watching car/motobike races is just watching cars/bikes going around a track with nothing happening, but free practice is literally exactly that.

The Moto GP rights package Eurosport bought demands them to show this over other events I believe.

In fairness there's probably a lot of competition for MotoGP and it's quite a steal for Eurosport to get it, so they would have had to make some odd concessions

Movistar Applying the Pressure........

 

[SafeBet]

Mas started the climb waaaaaaaay back.
