Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia 2021 stage 16: Sacile - Cortina d'Ampezzo 212km

[Mayomaniac]

If they went for a aeroplane to relay the signal instead of an helicopter wouldn't they be able to avoid most of the weather that prevents the chopper from flying?

Yes, but they are 20-30 years behind when it comes to using technology...
You also have to say that not allowing the helicopters to start even when the weather isn't that bad is a bit of a nanny state move, but that's Italy...

lmao just randomly cut 5 second footage of Bernal passing Almeida with no context that immediately disappears again

[Fantastico]

Are those images we randomly get live, or... re-caps?

Re-caps

 

[Samamba]

This is embarrassing

 

[BlueRoads]

Okay. Only flat stages in UAE from now on, please. You can have a finishing time trial in Sicily.

 

[saunaking]

will they be recording the coverage at least to replay it later?

 

[webvan]

You will be able to see full stage later on. They will have recorded images.

For the highlights maybe but I don't recall a stage being reconstructed after the fact and broadcast in full length.

 

[Anybody_but..]

Bit weak to steal someone else's joke, no?

Joke? Unfortunately, in this case, it is not.

 

[Poursuivant]

Bernal will put massive time into everyone here.

Bardet is a good descender but Bernal head and shoulders above everyone here these last two weeks

 

[Froome]

Very curious how he does against the Slovenians

He can't beat them, they are a level above everyone, including bernal.

Now I finally get what that "Remco using Giro as a part of learning curve" is all about.
It's always best to watch things with your eyes and there's a lot for him to take from Bernal's performance here.

 

[Forever The Best]

Is this one of the worst Giro's ever? I can't remember an exciting stage besides Montalcino. No GC fight, weak breaks winning most of the time, neutered mountain stages, and no live images.

 

[Rollthedice]

will they be recording the coverage at least to replay it later?

I doubt anybody in this glorious organization is thinking about it.

 

[Savant12]

Bernal needs to take it gentle on the descent. Clearly has the best legs going uphill.

 

[Eeslliw]

They should cancel whole stage if they can't broadcast it live.

Needs to be canceled.

 

[Lequack]

This is embarrassing

Whole day basically.

I was really confused... "Didn't he catch them already? Where are they? What's my name?"

Don't worry... I know that last bit.

 

[Poursuivant]

I am not so sure, this Bernal, with the usual strong Ineos team, would be interesting. This Bernal is stronger that the Bernal who won the TDF.

 

[Volderke]

I remember seeing more images from the duels between Coppi and Bartali.

 

[Red Rick]

I dunno, he's gone from beating Landa to pounding his domestique

 

[gregrowlerson]

What is going on? Have I drunk too much vodka?

 

[Poursuivant]

Bernal will be having his post-race massage and RAI will be showing us clouds

 

[glassmoon]

In the meantime we can land rovers on Mars for decades... I'm wondering if the Starlink would help with the transmission if the motos had proper antennas on them or the weather will not allow the fast enough data penetration anyways...

 

[jarvo]

I cant believe we are having to resort to watching a fool wave at a camera with a mask only covering his nose not his mouth
