@hckošice Did they mention anything about technical issues or something in terms of making the broadcasts? The official YouTube channel has a sort of stream, but it's mostly consisting of showing a few seconds of cyclists, then one or two guys in a studio talking for a while, and then a few seconds of some cyclists again (but no graphic at all, so no idea how far to go, differences, etc, basically no information at all and we can't get it from watching because most of the time no cyclists are being shown at all :p).

 

I presume there must be some sort of technical issue (Wednesday and yesterday at least, I didn't get to today's stream yet), but my Slovak is....well....yeah :p 

 

Mostly I'm happy with your reports here, so....gonna give it a try......hvala? :d 

Yeah, the coverage is terrible, I assume they did not find an agreement with the public TV (which was expected to cover the entire race, it was even in the TV schedule 2 days before the start), so there no professional broadcast of the race, sadly. The only one is the stream of the race organizers on their youtube channel, which is, yeah at absolute hobby-amateurish level I would say (only last 20km or so... and limited cameras..., so yes, definitely not-watchable).

Looks like Tom Pidcock's road season may now be complete whilst he focuses on mountain bike qualification for Paris. Assuming he has recovered from his infected backside, he is on the entry list for this weekend's world cup event at Snowshoe.

    • That is absolutely certain. Any somewhat reasonable politician should be good enough to win against someone like Trump, even with the unfortunate timing (for the Democrats) of having to carry the brunt of the COVID pandemic consequences and so any Republic having a bit of a head start anyway.   But yeah, dreadful performance overall from Harris, who seemed to start quite positively, but then just lowered herself to Trump's level in terms of throwing shit at each other. That was a terribly dumb choice, nobody is going to beat Trump at the insult game, as we have seen.

    • It was never a priority to stop the war but to prolong it to offload the old weapons systems and keep Russia occupied in a conflict. But the West's strategy backfired as it pushed Russia to friendship with China. Many don't realize as Russia and China are actually adversaries even when they shared a common ideology during the Soviet era
