What a ride by van der Breggen

Still part of the team !
They've just reported on the commentary of the men's race that van Vleuten broke her leg in the crash yet she was still able to get back to the front on the next climb (Did you see it ? She went like a rocket), set up the attack that led to van der Breggen making the race winning break and she still finished 7th.
I know we regularly see this sort of thing (Gilbert in the TdeF comes to mind) but it still astonishes me.
Coincidentally, (or not) Gilbert and van Vleuten are probably my favourite active racers.

Comfy armchair to one person & a plank to the next
BBC .....just show us the race.
Endlessly chatting , ridiculous coverage
Meanwhile, over on Eurosport, it's time for an ad break.

I would have stayed on BBC but they had an hour's break over lunch and I've not yet installed kodi to get iplayer stuff on the TV.

They're paid to commentate so they do. Some of it is quite interesting especially the technical bits and Danni Rowe's "inside" info.
If you're still not convinced, there's always the volume button.
BBC have no control over the picture feed.

Boardman, C did say earlier that he thought most of these races could be 50km shorter and it wouldn't affect the result.
 
Ollie and Buster think it's boring
