[hrotha]

Damn this city is so gorgeous. And look at the crowds. And it's a good course, too.

Don't you have HDMI?

Well I don't, but wouldn't the quality be realllly poor when watching this on tele from a stream?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Thanks men. All fine now.

So, Tjallingii loves it. Must be the weather.
What time does the Dutch swearing competition start?
(we need the Tilberg Terror back, tout suite!)

I spent friday night 10cm from the screen trying to watch the race. Plein ecran...I better start learning french.

Hesjedal or Cunego ftw.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Great race, nice course and many spectators !
Nice to watch - and stream from start till finish

Always nice to see it live how the race develops from the beginning and the groups are formed.

What was baloni doing there? Odd crash.

 

[Andrichuk]

Why did Balloni pull off to the side and crash himself?

I think the commentator is explaining, but I'm not buddies with the French language. A little help from the francophones?

 

[Mellow Velo]

What a load of Balloni.
Wtf was he doing riding in the gutter?

 

[insideout leadout]

Balloni is having a bad hair day as well.

No english. british eurosport not covering this one live

AS for through tv, pretty good here, tv is at much lower resolution to the computer. Its not great but its perfectly watchable

will record the last 5k for those that fall asleep.

I'm no expert (most of my french comes from reading cereal boxes) but I think they basically said they didn't know, he swung wide maybe to pull off the front then got caught up in the pot hole. I got "didn't know" and "pot hole" anyways.

How can Eurosport cover seemingly minor European races but not a ProTour race just because its not in Europe?

They said they have a packed schedule for sunday so they won't be showing it live but there will be recorded coverage later on so it's not like they're just skipping it.

Simply because it's Sunday. Always the day with the heaviest schedule.
They had to a quick change of their schedules, just to catch today's Vuelta MTF.
Were this race on a Monday, for instance, they would show the lot.

As for covering the TDU. Sky Sports seem to have the copyright for highlights.
I suspect nobody would be bother to get out of bed, just to fall asleep infront of their tv screens.
