Go Sagan.... Oh Wait that doesn't look like Peter

You're right! It's not Peter, but it is Sagan.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I like that Hong Kong kit

 

[gregrowlerson]

Okay, I can choose between three streams, one from the public broadcasting, one from ES without commentating and one with ES commentary but adds. Which one do I choose?

Choose the one without Liggett.

 

[SafeBet]

Choose the one without Liggett.

That's presuming other language commentators are better.

 

[BlueRoads]

Choose the one without Liggett.

That's easy, no Liggett here.

Decided for the public broadcasting with the rather annoying commentator and Fabian Wegmann whom I just can't stand, but that German ES told me Tratnik was Padun twice and neither Aldag nor Jens corrected him made my decision easier. I'm not a morning person but seem to be more awake (probably because I slept until 6.30 and didn't have to start working at 4).

 

[Netserk]

Bambi survived the first, easy descent. How about the next?

 

[gregrowlerson]

The language of Liggett is universal. He is "the voice of cycling"

Anyway, I've cracked open my first beer, in celebration that this particular Aussie channel hasn't crossed from the road race to show Ash Barty playing doubles.

Bambi?

Thomas or Zakarin?

 

[Netserk]

Bambi?

Thomas or Zakarin?

The little kid skating on gravel.

"Pardun the Padun" needs to be a new phrase.

Netserk has a thing for Evenepoel

 

[BlueRoads]

I'm switching to fencing for a while. Don't ban me from this forum.

Yeah, I'm not really into the whole Portuguese racing scene. You think this kid will ever make it to the big time?

He's already peaked and past his prime. But I wonder if he is as good a GT rider as ...

Waking up just before Fuji starts. Ideal

Let us know what their commentators are like.

It's bloody hot in the middle of tokyo city!

Use 7+ it actually does have the uninterrupted stream AND no Phil Liggett (he's doing the commercial Australian stream)

Does someone have a link to a realtime route tracker?

He's very proud of his "joke".

 

[Netserk]

Not as proud as others are of their hard-on.

At least Froome fans show more dignity in their response to name-calling for their idol.

Apparently Paddy Bevin has his war face on now. Good grief

I think you are.

 

[Ripper]

And it has started

The 0630 start for Fuji...

Was hoping to see a slightly stronger break but Kukrle is a useful rider.

The BBC commentator is already getting on my t*ts.
