Yes, really enjoyed that - a proper scrap!

Meanwhile, I have Questions about this clip from the Men's event:

Who is the Movistar rider, leading before he had to stop+unclip?
Is that fan really dangling a string of sausages in front of the riders??

To the first question I believe it was Ivan Garcia Cortina and to the second I think it is.

This may be old hat but...

I'm happily watching the Basque race - last hour and a half, live - on a YouTube channel called ProCyclingRaces. I noticed it the other weekend during Gent-Wevelgem which was getting the same treatment. Other good races have also appeared, but not Flanders. Still, at zero cost it's looking good value and I'm hoping that as they had Wevelgem they might also have Amstel. The streams seem to hang around for about a day.

The only foible is that there's no commentry, ambient sound only. OK, that's usually means just the helicopter but it's presence is reassuring. I'm not sure this is what I'd want all the time but I'm finding it curiously liberating. All the onscreen info is there and I can decide for myself what I think is happening, rather than having someone shouting his opinion - valid or otherwise - in my ear.

Anyone else know anything about it?

You could always play a recording of Carlton Kirby from another race. It will match up with the racing as well as you might expect.

Aravis you're a scholar and a gentleman! It's brilliant.....other than no commentary.....but at least we get to see the races 👍

I’ve been using Tiz-Cycling live stream. I watched all of the Tour of Flanders on it.

You're welcome, but @slow scot seems to have added something ever better to the mix. All things considered the world is definitely looking up

 

[roadrash]

Roglic down and not looking good

 

[roadrash]

really dont think he should be back on a bike, showing signs of concussion

 

[Adam4868]

Looks like Bora are trying to get him back for final climb

 

[roadrash]

Roglic back to the peleton and slowly working his way forward

Think maybe peloton waited for him a little...looking at his injuries he's going to suffer tonight/tommorow ffs

 

[roadrash]

oh they certainly eased off , i am surprised they let him back on a bike , he looked as if he was going to fall over backwards at one point before he got back on, hes certainly going to feel it when the adrenalin wears off

I've used Tiz for a while for any races not an Eurosport/Discovery+, it's just the lack of English language commentary in some races that I find off putting.

I just make my own commentary!

Better than most - Paul Sherwin and Liggett excepted!!

Used to it....Roglas lycra repair bill is legendary.
