So Taddy from Slovenia has been “on something” for the past 5 years, that no one else among 100s of competitors in pro cycling has had access to, because if they did, they’d be winning too? Some lab back in 2019 developed something and decided to give it only to that kid?

“Ecco!”

It’s entirely up to the originators of the broadcasts and really has nothing to do with the parcours. ASO does the Dauphine, Aargau is put on by a Swiss company, Radsporttage Gippingen GmbH. There’s no logic. It’s arbitrary. Write ASO a letter & complain. 😉

This has been the case in every stage in this #Dauphine. The ASO, who holds the rights & originates the broadcast, decides how much is shown. Streamers like Eurosport, can only show what they are given. Showing complete stages in some races is a fairly recent development & doesn’t always happen.

I’ve had a few audio dropouts early on, but nothing since.

MAX isn’t streaming it in the USA so I’m VPNing it via Swiss RTS TV - their French language channel. A pleasant woman & man are doing commentary. I didn’t catch their names. #Couchpeloton

Good for her.

I regularly get email proposals from what look like major consumer brands proposing profitable marketing alliances with my channel. When I check the senders email address, they invariably link to phishy IPs in Eastern Europe. Unfortunately, these scams are so common, some folks are falling for them

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that Trump has been hoping since this “march” was announced that there will be protestors on the scene that he can declare to be “Enemies of the State” and respond to with wildly disproportionate force - while cosplaying the role of Fearless Leader.

Sounds like you purported “criminals” may have grounds for a defamation lawsuit. Of course, I’m making a joke - but then again, maybe not really a joke. 😏

If it turns out Boundless lied to the authors re how many copies of their books actually sold & underpaid them, they should face jail time for fraud. It’s theft, plain & simple. Reminds me of the crap that went on in the recording industry back in the old Rock & Roll days. Artists were screwed.

I think initially he was sitting on, riding in the break for Milan, but when Milan was totally dropped, he started riding for himself. Neither panned out.

I enjoyed Tchaikovsky’s “The Final Architecture” SiFi trilogy as much as “Children of Time,” starting with “Shards of the Earth.” Former “Dr Who” cast member Sophie Aldred does a stellar job doing the audiobook narration, giving all the characters, including weird aliens, individual voices.

Literally a sitting duck.

I use @surfshark.bsky.social for my VPN. In addition to the usual app for computers & phones, they also have one for the Apple TV box that works the same way. So I can watch foreign TV streams like Sporza, RAI, France3 via their apps, full screen on my TV with AppleTV.

Agree. And if Bob & Christian do do some of the TDF weekend stages, I hope Phil has been put out to pasture. Sleep inducing.
comment in response to post
Bob Roll & Christian VdV often only comment on weekend stages. Why, I have no clue, but I’m fine with Ant.

Ah, the resilience of youth. I think Tibor still has a chance to win.😊 #Antwerpportepic

So the inference is that you’re purposely dissing Remco by leaving him off a list that he wasn’t on? Gotta love Social Media.
