Re: 2015 USCHO Cycling Thread

Not sure how I feel about this... NBC seems to be showing this stage delayed so I have to watch one a Eurosport stream. So no P&P (or Roll and Voigt) and yes to Sean Kelly. All that is good but the stream is bit of a hassle.

At least Peraud is riding! They just said they used a "bull clip" to fix his elbow. I'm not sure what that is but it doesn't sound pleasant.

The nbcsn feed I'm watching right now isn't live?

SRF feed is live. You know, in case anyone was wondering

Oh, I guess it is. FIOS lists it as yesterday's stage to Rodez.

Now you've gone and made me mad. The first thing I hear on NBCSC is Sherwin saying: "This is playing right into the hands of Sagan." LOLWUT?

Has Paul never seen Montee Laurent Jalabert.
Pinot and Bardet and Uran and Yates are real climbers.

SRF? Swiss TV?

Yeah. The most interesting thing is how little talking the commentators do. I'd estimate they talk about a quarter as much as the two bobbleheads on nbcsn. There will occassionally be multiple minute stretches where nothing at all gets said. Personally I like it but I'll readily admit I don't like noise in general, so perhaps I'm biased .

They have also yet to feature Tyler Farrar, so all's good on that front!

And for the triple post...it's too bad they slapped a 300m flight restriction on the tv helicopter. Could have gotten some wicked shots down in those gorges.

When they do talk which language? I'm always looking for backup for when English Eurosport isn't broadcasting race.

Froome is just ridiculous on climbs. The cadence he can keep is absolutely ridiculous.

Tough luck for Bardet. Got caught right at the top of the climb and then a split moment of hesitation between him and Pinot allowed Cummings to swoop in for the win.

Another fun ending.

Not like I speak any of them really but I was kind of hoping for Romansh.

Re: 2015 USCHO Cycling Thread

Were Thomas and Porte worn out and that's why they weren't there at the end or were they resting up for the Alps? It's a bummer for Bardet but he and Pinot deserved it. Pinot does not deserve to win a stage unless he drops everybody
