[Dazed and Confused]

Thanks for this.
Excellent lineup in terms of teams.
Will there be live TV production ?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

fewer and fewer south american teams... I don't like this where are the colombians?

edit: and where is funvic? I want to see magno prado again and isn't real team gone?

 

[Nicosix]

They're still 8 of them.

Not bad though

You can also see other races by passing on 'Pronostiquer' menu and choosing the month you want to see (it's in french, I know...)

thia race is all about the commentary. Remember last year?

The main commentator announced.that theu were crossing a bridge as if it was an alien invasion. The guy om the motorcycle was in tears when they got to the 40 to go mark.

Never had so much fun listening to the radio in my life.

you should listen to any south american cycling race then. the argentine races pale in comparison to the passion of colombia, venezuela, guatemala, costa rica, bolivia and some others. there is one legendary colombian announcer who does all the big races in latin america. he one time went so nuts during a race that he accidentally swallowed a fly in his throat and he choked. haha

we could use some of that around here: A dose of passion to compensate for boring Kelly or senile Phil Leggett

Even when they are talking about the mountain.

They hand it over the man in the moto and he continues in the exact same shouting style.

The two MTFs are the same but that plateau to Carolina is back after not being there for 2012. Looks good.

Indeed. I also like that the four deciding stages are back-to-back.

Four deciding stages in a 7 day race. Are you listening Tour of Romandie.

[Siriuscat]

Some European races cant produce a parcours like that in May!! Looks superb for a January race, someone there knows how to put a race together!!

TV production or just a couple of finish line cams?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it used to be broadcasted on fox and espn(I saw on youtube). with good images. don't know if it's still like that. usually in countries like argentina, chile, brazil and uruguay have very good production values with helicopters as well.

thanks, this is the sort of thing we need. One hour live TV production from each stage broadcasted on Eurosport (and perhaps other places). The lineup and the parcours should get fans to the screen. Great for the race, the fans and the sponsors.

 

[El Pistolero]

VDB2 will also be riding in San Luis.
