Imagine if a no BS guy like Gibo or Francesco Moser was in charge instead of him, they wouldn't put up with something like this.
I really hope She is in a Bubble!!!nice moment of bernal and martinez in the finish
Record the whole stage, do some proper editing and make a great cycling movie out of it. I'd be first to go to cinema to watch it, just to finally find out what really happend during that memorable 16th stage of 2021 Giro d'ItaliaNow that we've seen (or haven't) the horrible coverage, maybe it was good that they shortened the stage because instead of 1 hour of no coverage we weould have 3 hours of no coverage.
Will the posters with eggs on their heads admit they were wrong?Don't know if this was posted but CPA saying the riders requested it

Tbf that has nothing to do with the decision of Vegni and CPA, rather the complete ineptitude of RAI. The stage in itself was definitely an above average mountain stage, but could obviously have been so much more.'No lack of entertainment'.
Indeed. I was thrilled to see the change of dynamics in the collaboration between the middle aged guy with a mask not properly set up and the grey haired lady in dark pants while trying to chase that 10 year old rebel who can't be still.

Nah man we're just judgmental edgy couch potatoes with no regard for the riders.Will the posters with eggs on their heads admit they were wrong?
It clearly wasn't all the riders who wanted the stage shortened. And it wouldn't be the first time CPA has shown to not actually care about all the riders...
But anyway; in a ten years time nobody will even remember that the stage was shortened.

So even after the CPA admits openly that it was on the request of the riders, you still can't admit that you were wrong?It clearly wasn't all the riders who wanted the stage shortened. And it wouldn't be the first time CPA has shown to not actually care about all the riders...

It broke up on the first climb as well and we lost pictures for around half an hour. Had the stage been run as planned we’d have missed most of it anyway.Just a thought.
If the TV coverage broke down on one mountain
it would have done on two or three mountains
- and that would have been really bad TV.

Ya, in 10 years time when they go to show coverage of this year's giro, stage 16 will just be Bernal crossing the finishing line.
