Sods law says we get something surprising on the first climb but it's unbroadcasted

It's the Gigs law then.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

Found the best stage

Imagine you have to watch this for seven hours.

Sagan to drop Demare in first climb?

 

[Anybody_but..]

Just once I'd like to see a Ganna-Dennis-Castroviejo TTT

+ Froome.
But unfortunately this will never happen.

 

[Eclipse]

It's the Gigs law then.

Gigs law is surely more like some weird cycling Schrodinger's cat.

Until you know whether Gigs is watching a race it can be both entertaining and boring. Once you know the outcome is decided.

I guess I could learn Danish, does not seem that far away from German... House by the sea would be nice... What do you think are the main difficulties of your language?

Being partly Swedish, I will refrain from comments on the Danish language.

Hart to win this one!

In Denmark we have two different non-Eurosport channels showing each race. (or either race? You know, one channel showing the Giro a different one the Vuelta).

I've said it before, just move up here.

I will at first try a vacation there and spent some money . Never been there although I wanted to go to Copenhagen some time ago. I heard a lot of great things about Denmark though.

Quickers & Sunweb vs Peleton today is it?

 

[SafeBet]

After the frist climb Guerreiro and Visconti are leading. 26 riders chasing.
Peloton more than 5 minutes behind.

Samitier is in the break (20 minutes behind Almeida in GC).

I remember TV2 already showed the Vuelta in 2010. And TV2 Zulu usually showed both non-TDF Grand Tours in the noughties.

I checked up on it yesterday. TV2 first brodcasted the Vuelta from 1995-98 and then on Zulu from 2001-06, before starting again from 2010 on TV2/TV2 Sport. DR1 showed the Giro in 1999 and maybe earlier too. TV3/Viasat Sport may have shown some races during that time as well. I'm not sure, if the Giro was broadcasted live on other channels than Eurosport during the first part of the noughties, cause that's where I got used to the then Bay/Mortensen commentary duo.

Good, so break by 30 minutes won't happen now

 

[SKSemtex]

Sagan missed the break

 

[Mayomaniac]

Fabbro is in the breakaway. I know that the stage takes place in his region, but Bora are probably planning something, otherwise they wouldn't send their best climbing domestique in the breakaway.

Maybe they are planning to win the stage with Fabbro

 

[Lequack]

Easy win for Almeida to steal back 10 seconds.

 

[Eclipse]

Maybe they are planning to win the stage with Fabbro

Yeah I think this is most likely. They know Sagan is unlikely and nobody expects anything from Majka other than the usual.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Easy win for Almeida to steal back 10 seconds.

Seems unlikely. Sunweb will probably not pull, and the other teams all have men in the break. DQS can't do it alone.

Fabbro is in the breakaway. I know that the stage takes place in his region, but Bora are probably planning something, otherwise they wouldn't send their best climbing domestique in the breakaway.

Actually would be a stage for Konrad if it is really too hard for Sagan. Ulissi does not really handle long distances that well and then Konrad is probably the second best in an uphill sprint after Almeida.

fabbro is the livebetting favourite to win the stage Lmao

At least it's not repeating the same jokes about blue hair dye for the fifth time

Yesterday he loudly screamed " whisper it but Two is in with a chance"

Well, he does certainly have a chance, though.
