The Poles seem to have their coverage in order. Does anyone have an English stream though?

 

[royalpig180]

English eurosport was playing the polish feed but seems to now have reverted to english

I don't understand why polish TV is using polish graphic like "do maty", "Uciezcka" or "Poscig" on World Tour race broadcasted all around World via Eurosport International.Nationalism or dilettantism ?Anyway, 42 km to meta, uciezska 1:12.

I love that. The Giro switching to English is one of the worst developments in modern cycling.

That's very typical. If you watch a French race, you'll see French language indicators, or Italian for an Italian race, etc. etc.

It wouldn't be Pologne without a nice drop of rain on these little hill roads.
Will we have some of the 'ice skating' that we had last year?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Marcyz in the attack for the 242142th time this race

 

[royalpig180]

When does the last climb start (km to go) and how long is it?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The last climb is about 4km long. Well maybe a bit longer but it really starts getting steep the final 4k...the finish is right at the top

Mollema placed his attack exactly there last year.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Some miscreant apparently stapled Sagan's bike to Martin's back wheel.

 

[goggalor]

Sky setting up Martin.

 

[royalpig180]

Sky's doing a great leadout again today! Sagan yesterday, Martin today.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Dan Martin attacks! There it is. Big splitting in the peloton. Nibali looking back, where is Sagan?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kennaugh and Martin. Bakelants just behind

 

[Mellow Velo]

Dan Dare!

Kennaugh tried and failed.
Nibali sheperding Sagan. Not too far back.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sagan absolutely nowhere, not even in the chasing group

 

[goggalor]

No one can follow Martin. Wow.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No one can follow Martin. Wow.

Repeat of last year then

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Martin ran out of climb there. Clearly the best climber, but the parcours isn't tough enough.

 

[royalpig180]

Peleton looks to be catching up. Can Martin put in another kick on the final climb? I think so. He looked phenomenal when he went back there.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

11km solo?

Second group is not far behind Martin.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Martin ran out of climb there. Clearly the best climber, but the parcours isn't tough enough.

Dude, the last 4km of the stage are still uphill. He can try again.
