But only on RAI SPORT. Meh.

 

[Red Rick]

I think we all know Roglic is gonna launch too early and Pogacar is gonna beat him to the line.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Women's race is 87km ___/ again

Will the defending champion be there? Last year's finale was pretty fantastic, short Unipuerto race or not.

From what I understand, she'll be doing P-R, and nobody has managed to clone her.

Yeah, and the they have done their best on Twitter to talk her up before the race, apart from making her a Trek rider that is.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Curious about Pinot here.

Only to finish second after winner Almeida

 

[Billie]

no Froome?

 

[Pinot's goat]

no Froome?

He is busy winning Sicilia ahead of Nibali and Valverde.

It's 2021, I can watch random chess tournaments on legal livestreams.
Upcoming: Over 100 years old, one of the oldest cycling classics....
Previous winners include Coppi, Bartali, Merckx, Rommiger, Ullrich, Basso, Quintana, Roglic...
We have a stacked starting list...

... and the only way to watch this is through Italian Television.

Nice.

 

[noob]

Why are the teams so tiny? Are they really gonna ride just 4 riders from each team?

Only to finish second after winner Almeida

Nah...a 10% better Remco will beat Almeida in a sprint for the win

 

[noob]

I don't think either of them are gonna win this But I am very curious who QS are riding for. My wild guess is both. In a sprint I would guess Almeida is faster than Remco. In an attack Remco lasts at least ten times as long as Almeida. Have they been in a race together since the giro even?

No, startlist is just far for complete.

he fractured his tibia in Memorial Pantani, so definitely won't do any more races this year - if at all.

Nice.

So does RAI not do a livestream of their broadcast, just television?

From the same country which has problems broadcasting wet stages in the Giro. Imagine if it's raining on Saturday?

Now I'm also concerned about missing Milan-Turin & Lombardia as well (I can't see them listed on Eurosport). It would be a pretty underwhelming end to the season to miss these races because of TV rights issues.

They have, but it's geoblocked...

First info I saw was no, only an option via satellite TV and decoder (lol) but someone else said it'll be on their homepage but obviously you'd need a VPN.

I don't know what do you mean by "their homepage" but to watch the streaming of Rai channels you should go on Raiplay.

not anymore, this stopped in 2019 already, I think. The broadcasting rights are back with RAI.

Does RAI have a streaming service for people in Italy who don't have a TV or are not at home? In the Netherlands there is the NPO app which lets you watch national channels on PC or smartphone. In Belgium there is VRTnu, Auvio and VTMgo. But i don't know if this is something most broadcasts do across Europe or not.

No, they still have the rights, RAI only have a sublicense to air what they produce like Eurosport.
