2025 Races with Spoilers.

They could have saved a fortune by not bothering trying to cover it and just having a finish straight camera. Max Poole gave it a good go but Ciccone takes it from Gall.

Good Easter weekend for Lidl-Trek. Good to see Tao back in a race as well.

Ciccone ! Good job he doesn't win too often those sunglasses are expensive 😂

Just in and put on the TNT race finale video on YouTube.
It's basically 3 minutes of chat from Hatch and 1k of stop motion.
Anyone paying full whack for that has genuine cause for complaint.

Not much they can do if the host broadcaster can’t provide pictures to them.

Indeed, and not much the broadcasters can do if their relay plane is grounded at its airport due to the weather there.

Couldn't they fall back to the Tour Series method of collecting the footage off the cameras and making the highlights out of that? The Tour Series had no live pictures at all, not even at the event.

I think the issue there is where TNT are probably to blame - their highlights package is just an edited down version of the live footage - with the live commentary in place, isn't it? As in, they aren't actually creating a highlights show, they're just chopping up the live broadcast - which sucks if there wasn't one.

Thing is, if it's being watched by a load of people on YouTube who aren't paying for it why would they bother with the expense?

I'd love Bardet to nick a stage somewhere before he hangs his shoes up....any chance in the Alps 😁

...because if their coverage is shoot, even more viewers will sod off to Youtube!

Rob Hatch spent a lot of time blaming the host broadcaster. Only Adam Blythe mentioned that the root cause was the weather, which prevented a plane from flying, and without the plane to relay the pics there wasn't much they could do.

Just one of the drawbacks of staging the Tour of the Alps in the Alps.

Especially a few day after the heaiest April snow storm for decades.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Well, so far so good, although there’s still a bit of a buffering problem.
Not as bad though.
