Astounded by the "no mention" of Tour of Andalucia

[runner]

What an amazing race by our very own Chris Froome against one of my fav riders Alberto C......and not even a mention on BBC this morning.....utter disgrace. Forget the fu@&en oscars did you see stage 4......amazing and what a great season of tours and classics it should be

I'd have been astounded if they had mentioned it.

Perhaps this thread should be in Sport or Race or somewhere else?

Radio 5 mentioned both Froome and Thomas this morning.
But they are a sports station.

 

[BSRU]

It was mentioned this morning on BBC news.

National broadcaster in not mentioning minor race in minority sport shocker

Eddie Redmayne won best actor.

I think Lance won best use of a performance enhancing drug in a short foreign language film.

I am interested in why so many are still fans of a drug cheat.

You're new to this game then ? Yes it was a cracking race but it's more of a surprise when the BBC do mention cycling than when they don't.

It was mentioned on the BBC news and Breakfast, but in the same breath as the track worlds rather than as a separate item.

I was hoping that Brits winning both of the opening races of the Spring Classics season over the weekend would have merited a mention on BBC Breakfast today. But no. Surprised ? No. Disappointed ? Yes.

Me too. I was particularly hopeful of a mention when Danni King was featured. Also disappointed that the deadly pothole was glossed over without comment. We must accept that our third-world roads will try to kill our elite athletes from time to time then - not to mention the rest of us!

Mr. Redmayne has never tested positive you know...
