ECHELON ALERT

Taarame was boxed in behind that other hawker in the sprint. We need lane markings.

This is what the sport is all about! https://youtu.be/NmQw97qNCtU

I mentioned this during Milan San Remo, when I chromecast GCN quite often I don’t get the commentary and just get the noise of the helicopter / crowd etc.

When I click on sound settings, I can opt for commentary in another language, but not English! So I’m just stuck without commentary. Is this major user fail or does anyone else get this?

Doesn’t happen on any races where there is an ‘includes live show’ stream. But most obviously don’t have that.

I get this through android but gets stuck in English when I want Spanish or vice versa. Very annoying, think it might have something to do with using across devices and at two different IP addresses... My Dad uses my account with Spanish commentary, all good watching on his iPad but as soon as he tries to cast it bounces to English.

I’ve contacted GCN. I’m using an Apple phone. Commentary works fine if just watching on my phone, but disappears as soon as I chromecast to the TV. It’s just weird that I can hear all of the other noise and other languages.

delicious to see quickstep has missed the move

I can see the sprinting lanes though.

Is it maybe an issue of 5.1 vs 2.0 audio channels?

Edit: sorry, saw your other post with the full description, seems like a problem at their end.

Sums up their Belgian classics season.

No worries cheers. Don’t want to spam the thread with this but if anyone knows the fix feel free to give me a shout.

echelon no2. sprint beaten by de Lie as well.

Not sure what @snoops will make of this, probably argue that if there were sprint lanes the incoming riders could’ve used them to avoid him.

Kristoff is pinging at the moment. Can’t wait for Roubaix.

It’s covered in 2.12.007, 1.6:

Recrossing the finish line in the direction of the race while still
displaying body number or frame number

He should be fined CHF 200, no relegation option. Pls read the rules.

Totes ok if you've ditched your numbers...

“Read the rules, read them and understand them.”

I’d have dq’d him. It’s fine on a mountain stage when the team buses are back down the finishing climb, but not in a one day race on a flat finish.

CTT would've DQ'd him. :)

Hah. You’re Jackie Weaver then!

It’s a fine on a mountain stage, unless they take their numbers off. The rule is clear.

I’m not a fan of the rules, just a fan of them being applied consistently. RIP supertuck.

That was a stupid dangerous thing to do.
DQ him.
