  • First 45 minutes of the highlights on demand was tennis. Then 5km from the end it cut out. Managed to watch it in the end though.

    One of the weirdest things was everyone forgetting Fausto Masnada was out on his own somewhere between the front two and the chasers.

    Poor guy must have been out there by himself for the whole of Mortirolo, all of the descent, and then the ramp up to the finish.

    Must have been fucking miserable, and no one even knew he was there. Did he hope to catch the leaders? Did he expect to be caught by the maglia rosa group and just never find them? I hope he is nice and warm now at least.

    Which channel? We watched the Eurosport afternoon coverage on demand, fastforwarding the tennis at the beginning. Just as the leaders started to manoeuvre with 1 km to go it stopped - unbelievable! We tried watching the following tennis show and it carried on at least until the various GC groups were finished.

  • Yes that Masnada thing was incredible.

    I'm pretty sure there weren't any team cars on the Mortirolo (too narrow), if so that must presumably have been a factor. The TV bikes clearly missed, forgot about him or just didn't have enough bikes.

    Androni Giocattoli - Sidermec must be pissed off. Your rider gets third on the queen stage and almost zero screen time.
