Lol Rai is hillarious.

They just started singing a song about Quintana to the tune of Guantanamera:D

Nai-ro -Quin-Ta-na
Viva Nai-ro -Quin-Ta-na
Nai-ro -Quin-Ta-na
Viva Nai-ro -Quin-Ta-na

the morning tv show from the start, is something shamefull and ridicolous. I am ashamed by them. I know people laugh at us.

It was at the beginning though. I assume it maybe was their intro music.

So far its an Aru tribute show.

Now they have images of him to the tune of some Indian Hindu music:D
in din din din din din din din day

If I'm not misunderstanding the general gist of whats going on, they are holding a dog next to the screen and are reading out to him the names of the favourites for the stage.
 
Live images delayed.

This is ridiculous. They put on this stage and have no idea how to broadcast it with low visibility. It's a freaking mountain, weather is usually bad up there!

Cycling has such low production standards it's ridiculous. Rcs is one of the best in cycling, but have no clue how to get things done and provide images and context.

How about a simple live timing device for viewing rider positions on the net?
Noo that would mean innovation.:rolleyes:


Aaaarrgh!:mad:

/rant over

No wait, they were getting the dog to bark for who was going to win.

He said Aru.

Good Omen:cool:

It's not like we're missing anything atm. If we're lucky they're only going to race the last ramp on the final climb.
 
Some people are probably gonna hate me for this:

If this stage ends up being a choice between somewhat neutralised racing, but everyone getting through safely and exciting racing, but risk of people getting seriously injured, well... then I know what I prefer.
