TDF Stage 14 - Sunday, July 18 2010, Revel - Ax-3 Domaines, 184 km

[killswitch]

thanks but nothing there to shout about atmo

Yep, but now that the gap is up to 10 minutes, they won't be caught till the final climb (unless Navarro forces insane pace on the HC climb ).

 

[Roland Rat]

Is anyone else getting a double sound/delayed echo type thing on the eurosport feed?

 

[Mellow Velo]

And there's already a commercial break. How do you people put up with this crap?

No option.....Unless you have French tv.
Been watching for the past half an hour.
Eurosport HD is now back from the ads and you can't fault the pictures.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

They are doing something. Christophe Moreau wants the polka dot jersey, but he can't get off the front, as the Shack are marking him out.
Sad, but true.

Why don't Caisse D give up on the team classification - let's face it they have very little chance of winning it if Radioshack have the whole team targetting it. Whereas Moreau could have a very decent chance at KOM not to mention it's very difficult for them to win a stage with Shack riders glued to their wheels. Seems like bad tactics on their part

yup.. the other british feeds will be live soon though as soon as roche has finished yapping.

Whats weird is british eurosport are saying "we will go live once we have pictures from the host broadcaster", which they do cos eurosport hd are showing them.

In a nutshell, they are lying.Paid guests.
On french tv, Jaja called Gee the UK champion...........Steve Cummings!

I like breakaways on stages like this, gives to things to watch at once, the race for the stage and the race for gc. All good.

So according to Danny Nelissen Schleck will move to Astana. There will be no Luxembourg team.

To be honest I doubt if Caisse particularly care about the team classification but the problem is that any time one of them goes off the front and there isn't a Radioshack rider in the break, radioshack will chase him down. Its more to do with how much radioshack appear to want to win the team classification thats the problem.

So baby schleck, contador and vino have to argue the grand tours out between them

should be fun...

Schlecks are only sold in pairs.
That's why I'm not buying it.
They would have 3 extremely expensive riders apart from Vino.

 

[Roland Rat]

So it's

either

an

intermittent feed


or a double sound or a double echo feed sound echo feed

Brilliant brilliant brilliant.

Vino isn't doing GT's after this any more. Instead he will focus on the classics next year.
Lovely thing to say in the year you won LBL

Eurosport are actually really good with adverts. They have to show a certain number during the stage, so they tend to have lots of ad breaks early in the stage when not much is happening, so they can show the last hour of a stage like today's more or less ad-free.

When they get to the mountains today, they'll have at most one ad break on the descent, but possibly none at all.

That's not the problem as Astana have an unlimited budget. But I doubt Andy at age 25 gives up his Tour ambitions for good.

The solution for Caisse D is easy and should have been done as soon as RS were obviously targetting that comp a few stages ago. Just drop everyone bar LLS and Plaza back in the bus for a stage. Hey presto - the team is no long Shackled

why dont you just pay £4 and get eurosport player?

or.. play both feeds and just mute the audio on the echo one?

 

[Angulo]

Rodriguez wins today. Contador second. Menchov with Samo 3 and 4. Schleck ckracks.
