[The Hitch]

race will be over by 19:25

I know

Some talk that the feed I linked will be available soon 1hr 15 minutes time!

Live Strade Bianche!

Im sceptical, but if that turns out to be true, i think the Dutchies should give you an amnesty for your avatar, due to such a great contribution to the forum.

[Grzdylu]

I'm sure no live video today. Only RAI - 19.25.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Some main stream websites have listed as showing it in an hour.

EDIT: But lets not get too confident

 

[sublimit]

Well hope this is true.
Last years race had a terrible lagging feed delayed by 20 minutes or so maybe something similar again.

How was Friuli a disaster for him?

Well not directly a disaster for him, but a disaster weather-wise which lead to the majority of the riders abandoning. I don't know how far down the race he abandoned, but I'm thinking he didn't get exactly out of it what he wanted because he might have only done 100 km for example.

The Santambrogio story is imprssive though and as I said I will be happily proven wrong. But to me it would be a little surprising to see someone who raced 100 km this season win such a difficult race as Montepaschi. Then again Evans isn't just anyone ...

I don't think he will win even though he is very good on the dirt roads and the finish suits him. Doesn't have the condition. Probably Ballan will be leader as it seems Greg is in the breakaway.

My opinion exactly, but he was named quite a few times as a favourite in this thread, that's why I brought it up

When was that? Because Rai might have changed their minds, and it's nowhere in their schedule.

The theme song for today's race is another one bites the dust.

The theme song for today's race is another one bites the dust.

I like the way these Italian races use old American rock songs.

I remember that brilliant Kronplatz tt was made even better by the fact that every rider had a different, what amounted to entrance song which went off the second they went down on the ramp.

5th section has just commenced. This is where it starts happening!

@teamtype1 is giving some updates...

 

[The Hitch]

We might have 2 possible feeds!!!!!!!!!

This post from the race streams thread puts an end to the hope

All those feeds are relying on RAI to broadcast the race. They are not, hence those live feeds cannot cover the race either.

Still no stream I assume?
