Re:

Kind of ridiculous that there was no plan B ...must be another plane in UK with relay equipment
If you can't see a race on TV might as well not have it ...IT was the most important part of the organisation...Otherwise its just a whir of riders flying by

Never gripe again about Catalunya's coverage

Apparently the broadcasting is being done by a French company who are supplying the footage to ITV4 etc, it was its plane that had problems.

Groenewegen was the strongest, he was not at the wheel of Van poppel, he came from far behind in the last meters

we know now why the bad coverage of the race

Re:

Hope the snow goes away by sunday.
The N.Yorks Moor merit a fine spectacle.

final 54 km:

Nice

 

[TMP402]

Looking at that google maps image, this is the same finish as Stage 1 last year? If so, I can only hope we get the same racing!

Possibly a little harder than last year

 

[TMP402]

The last 15-20km doesn't look all that difficult, so we must hope for suitable weather.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nice by Van Poppel. Groenewegen again very fast. Hope he can keep it up unlike Hofland

Last year there were no climbs after Robin hoods bay, this year there are 2 more small hills.

There was a plane crash in Yorkshire today. Seriously. Did anyone realize this?

Yellow plane, two people dead

Sad indeed, but unlikely to be relevant to the problems in broadcasting the race: the incident happened at 10:40, which would account for neither failure to show even early parts of the women's race, nor ability to show some, but only a small part of, the men's event.

sorry to hear this, but difficult to know when we don't live in Yorshire, in the UK or even in Europe

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Six climbs all in all, no?

 

[manafana]

their was a situation, it happens get over it, everyone wanted watch but sometimes it cant happen.

SHould be a good stage, very open and hopefully a few take the risks

 

[Vasilis]

So who will win today? I'm gonna say that Gianni Moscon takes his first win here.

 

[DBotero]

Nice weather.Huge crowds again

 

[togo95]

From km 145 to about 180, there will be a strong headwind, so hopefully it's blown apart already by that point.

Re:

Don't think there's one outstanding favourite but there are plenty of potential winners so could be a good stage. Jumbo seem up for this.

Adam Yates should be strong today.

 

[togo95]

those crowds
