WC Richmond 2015 TTT, 20 September

[JRanton]

Was it really too much to ask to have the road re-surfaced and potholes repaired?

If you can't be bothered to do a good job of hosting then don't make a bid.

Wondering how much the time difference will be between the fastest women teams and the slowest men teams.

Does anyone have the the usual world championship timing-link?

The problem as I have heard it is that it infact roads has been resurfaced and thus making the bumps from manholes bigger.

Epic fail by the UCI and Richmond team in terms of video coverage. The stuttering and stalling live stream is worse than the crap I put up with via the pirate sites for the European races. No commentary. From what I can see, a typical US course along straight roads through boring deserted featureless suburbs. As I have said before, bicycle racing is only done correctly on the European continent.

They must be epic manholes. I've hit plenty over the years and they have never tossed me off my bike.

Now watching via a pirate of Eurosport. Much better than the "official" stream (ads notwithstanding). Why?

What is with all the P/B nonsense? I know it means "Presented by", but why is it necessary? The men's teams seem to manage with multiple title sponsors without the intermediary abbreviation, as do many of the women's teams. It just makes the names complex and weird.

Its a US thing rather than men vs women

Anyone know what Hitec are upset about? Some UCI official did something, apparently, but don't know the details.

How do I watch this in the US? I was planning on just using the UCI youtube-channel, which works in my homecountry, but I am currently in The States, and it is geo-restricted. Guess I'll just have to find some stream on my laptop then and hook it up with HDMI to my television.
