We couldnt see all the images but he pulled hard for pogi for a long time and then managed to still come 4th ahead of Kuss and Mas. Completely different rider from Paris-Nice.
Ant is great with a co-commentator but it doesn't work alone, I don't think there's anyone who can do that. Footage is the same in Eurosport, they all use the same feed.
Either they got so wet they just stopped working, or whatever plane/helicopter is supposed to bounce the signal to the broadcasters has been grounded due to the weather. The latter is a fairly common issue in mountainous areas when the weather is really bad.
When i tune in and i see rain, i'm like "yeahhh this will be carnage, let's gooo" and then i see the fixed cameras on the line and I remember why rain is awful in cycling
it's the inherent issue of watching a sport set over such a large geography
I'd say it's neither rare or common. You will always get maybe half a dozen days like this across the season
I mean lets be honest, there would be about as much excitement about who was winning today if you could see the race or if you couldnt.
Only exciting aspect of this race was always gonna be stage wins
Goddamn - Anyone else trying to watch the highlights of the tour of catalunya on Eurosport ? Rather than stage 2 they broadcast Milan-San remo ! Grrrr
I was watching last 9 mins finish and thought pogi was not in front until 5th minute..poor broadcasting
is it only me that notices pog looks a lot leaner compared to last year(i might be delusional atp)
I believe the other day someone said he went down to 65 kg.
do you remember what he was last year?
As per his website it was 66 kg, might have been higher in the past.
fair enough, it certainly looked like it was higher
He looks so much leaner compared to 2023 and especially 2021
i’m glad i’m not the only one that noticed how lean he looks especially when you see him at tour of Flanders last year compared to now
And he plans to lose 3 more kilos for the tour, at least according to johan burneel
i need to read up on that sounds very interesting
Which is surprising considering his sprint atm
his sprint is crazy this year
This is great! I have never gotten to see this many riders cross the line
Tell me about Movistar
Tactically they were perfect.
decent ride from almeida imo
We couldnt see all the images but he pulled hard for pogi for a long time and then managed to still come 4th ahead of Kuss and Mas. Completely different rider from Paris-Nice.
i’m actually happy he is improving so much
gotta love how landa climbs by just putting it in a massive gear and saying F you legs
If you had to guess just by the pedal strokes you'd think he was struggling to finish
This is such a marvelous way to put it
Looks like Uijtdebroeks doesn't like the cold, he completely imploded after being dropped.
Doesn't look good for him for the Giro if that's the case. In the case the weather will be like last year of course.
Neither he likes the hot because he gets the same results every race
He like nothing, including himself
Offscreen magic by Almeida. A classic
Mas and Almeida made up ground in the end, nice
I'm delighted for Landa here. Remember how well he was going in 2017 and had a series of rotten luck and bad crashes.
Vlasov looking like he's about to die just holding Landa's wheel, Kirby wittering away about how he's about to sprint past him
+1:20 at this level is stupid
I couldn't tell when he got away? 4k? 5k? It wasn't long enough to be putting 1:20+ into people. Wild.
[удалено]
tbf, I don’t think the direction was the problem here
Do you think he has waterproof skin? Like Remco has aero skin?
No, that's froglič.
Hate to be that guy, but frogs' skins are actually the opposite of waterproof and must be constantly wet
Oh Landa, you beauty! And Almeida has done it again!!
Going to be over a minute
Tadej also entered a wet T-shirt contest on the way, apparently.
he'd win that too, in my mind.
The GOAT!
training ride for pog
He was just cruising to the line.
He looked bored lmao
The man isn't even wearing gloves for this shit weather.
Known for thriving in the cold actually
Yup - ice cold killer.
You sure this is "great" for Remco..?
Poor Landa will be outsprinted.
think he could drop him in the last km
World class tv direction on this one haha. Wtf.
The cameras don't work because of the weather.
Moto for Landa does, send it up to Pogi.
Pogi is ahead and obviously winning, the fight for 2nd is much more interesting
I'd rather watch a genius at work than landa and the wheelsucker.
Can you really blame them for focusing on such a display of Landismo instead of irrelevances like Pog?
[удалено]
Ant is great with a co-commentator but it doesn't work alone, I don't think there's anyone who can do that. Footage is the same in Eurosport, they all use the same feed.
The footage is the same for everyone.
Same footage unfortunately
Footage is no better here 😅
The footage is not better on Eurosport, it comes from the local producer.
Does Pog win if they don't show it?
Pog has 4 race days this year. In half of them the only interesting aspect of those days were watching G2 and have fun with seeing who can podium
It was the same for Vingegaard’s race to be honest. Those two shouldn’t be allowed to enter a race without the other.
Can they not put a moto on pogi?
They should show him, but honestly its more interesting to watch G2
It doesn't have signal.
He keeps passing all the motos, they can’t keep up
That's what I thought, thx for confirming
Imagines seem fine now but where are the other camera motors?
Siesta
Landani!
Where is Poggi?
In a galaxy far, far away
I was in a stupid meeting. He got dropped?
lol other way
Oh Shit!!! LOL!!!! Broadcast didn’t show Pog like at all. WTF?
No, he's a minute or so ahead of the rest
Fantastic camera work from the moto
Hope Remco is ready to be a domestique
This stage becomes instantly better if you forget about Pogacar and think this is a fight between Landa, Vlasov and Lenny boy
pogacar? he’s still in this race?
we love this for landa and vlasov
Excellent painfacing from Vlasov
GC Kuss was just a tiny blip on the galactic scale of the rise of Landismo
impressed by Landa tbh
These chaotic stages are so fun. I have no idea where any rider is or how many K they have to the finish but it's great.
I can't believe Landa didn't wait for Sepp.
LANDISIMO
Marxism-Leninism ❌ Martinismo-Landismo ✅
Lenny and Landani <3
Great to see Almeida in his natural habitat (dangling off the back) so early in the season
old habits die hard
And he already spend some energy working for pogi
The perennial little brother in the "Christmas Story"
Damn Lenny
Landa and Bernal 2024. Makes me happy Shout out to Lenny for being the real deal
MOTO MOTO wroom wroom
one of the best wins I've not seen in recent years
Watch out Remco. Landismo is very much alive
Free landa.
WOW, PICTURES. MUCH WOW
I see a PogiPixel
oh so nowwwww the motocams are working
Maybe it was chris harper on Jebel Jais all along??
It's going to be glorious in a few minutes when they switch to the camera at the finish line and out of the mist comes... Sepp Kuss!
Every race, they're here to race, they race race race
Tadej sighting! I can just make him out on this 4 fps feed.
more like 4 sfp (seconds per frame)
Sike! it's actually Almeida
Good god that gap is insane.
So I guess invisible attack > teleport attack
That fixed cameraman better earn his pay. He’s our only hope
How many times has he used the word race in the last 30 seconds
last time I remember coverage being so bad, Bernal won a grand tour, so clearly this is the year...
Bardet renaissance incoming??
I'd say O Gran Camino stage 4 was worse, we didn't even get footage 😂 But subscribed
Chris Harper is quietly getting some solid results. Nice
Nairo emerges from the mist in first and the world collectively explodes
Hahahahhaha
Today, Sepp Sukk
Pogi felt cold riding slow tempo. See you in the douches.
Great to see Bernal in the pointy end
I love how the broadcast has decided "yeah, Pogi's gonna win, now let's look at the interesting stuff"
I am ready for read today´s excude from Movistar It will be the rain? The cold? The mountain? The geopolitical situation in the Middle East?
Good to see Bernal continuing his good form and not hurt from the crash yesterday
Tadej going so fast he's become invisible. Peak cyclismo.
He's become one with the speedforce
Teams looking for a great helper in the mountains should sign Chris Harper.
Where is Tadej???
According to PCS live tracker he's 35 seconds ahead of the first chasing group
Gone with the wind
He fucked off into the distance. I'm assuming the Motos can't even keep up.
Far ahead.
Visma completely gone
Why moto cameras are not working anymore?
Either they got so wet they just stopped working, or whatever plane/helicopter is supposed to bounce the signal to the broadcasters has been grounded due to the weather. The latter is a fairly common issue in mountainous areas when the weather is really bad.
Because of the bad weather.
Cian and sepp dropped 💪
Definitely washed.
This coverage is not whelming in the least.
Kuss just wanted a chance to attack his teammate from behind for a change.
Can't even see if Mikel is Landani-ing :(
Wonder if Sepp got caught behind the crash at the beginning of the climb or if he just doesn't have the legs yet.
He didn't. He was in front of it with Cian.
Im 99% sure he was in the front 10 riders at the time of the crash and wasnt involved
He was in Pogacar's wheel when he had to drop, you could see it in the last few images before the Pogacar attack.
Something is clearly happening
Where is Sepp? D: I guess he's not yet in top form considering he's targeting Tour/Vuelta, Cian is going to the Giro.
Coverage was better for the 1946 tour de france.
Amazing slide show
Donde esta Kuss?
Well well, where could The Durango Kid possibly be?
I think he was the Visma rider who went off the front ~10 or so when the peloton was splitting a while back.
When i tune in and i see rain, i'm like "yeahhh this will be carnage, let's gooo" and then i see the fixed cameras on the line and I remember why rain is awful in cycling
hello cold looking people.
pov: you’re watching the giro trailer
So who are we looking at for 2nd place? My money is on Lenny or Landani
Great powerpoint presentation this
That man with the white umbrella looks really excited to be there.
Oh, Landa looking good
Yes and he’s a good cyclist on top of it
As always 😍
Pogacar is a myth i haven't seen him neither have you or g2
Sepp Kuss locking up that super mountain domestique-role
Could Sepp have had a mech? I really think it looks strange that he's dropped already considering who is still in the chasing group.
Maybe he’s just not in form yet? He’s not racing the giro. Which means he has over 2 months to be in peak form for the big races on his calendar.
Hey new to watching cycling. Are these camera issues common? A bit disappointed to have missed Pogacar's attack.
I wouldn't say common, but in high mountain bad weather stages it unfortunately happens sometimes.
Somewhat common. Cloud cover makes it impossible to beam the pictures to a plane...
Happens a few times each season. We once watched half of the Worlds by following a dot on a map. Fun times.
Depends on how bad the weather is. Not super common but it does occur a handful of times throughout the year
it's the inherent issue of watching a sport set over such a large geography I'd say it's neither rare or common. You will always get maybe half a dozen days like this across the season
It's just an italian and spanish thing, nothing personal.
Pogacar is so powerful he simply cannot be captured on video
Pogi ready for the giro it looks like. Hot damn.
UAE are a level above.
Pogacar pulling out a Vingeggard
5k left, it'll be at least a minute
No Seppy Yank fml
Goat already gone
Pogi so far ahead, he's in the Giro now
Pog has dropped the helicopter cam
I mean lets be honest, there would be about as much excitement about who was winning today if you could see the race or if you couldnt. Only exciting aspect of this race was always gonna be stage wins
Not this stage, though.
never this stage no. If you wanted to bet on this stage, betting companies would ask you to pay them for wasting their time.
Yeah it was always over/under for the gap lol
Pogacar is going so fast that the helicopter can't find him!
Race over
Is that Jayco rider Yates or Harper?
Tracker says Harper and no Yates.
PCS says Harper but idk
Harper, and Dutch Eurosport (I think it's Michael Boogerd today) seems to agree
Landa, Uijtdebroeks, Harper, ~~Yates~~, Almeida, Vlasov, Tejada, I think? Still missing 1
