Strade Bianchi!

Postby fat and old » Thu Mar 03, 2022 5:06 pm

This weekend. Looking forward to this. No Van Aert or vdP, so all the media will be on the frenchie and the young pom..... in fact CN says "Anything that Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert can do, Tom Pidcock can do too" :lol:

Here's hoping my man Tiesj Benoot can get a second trophy.

Might have to resubscribe to GCN again.

Let it lapse and will end up costing more.

Consolation is that Paris Nice is on SBS. Be interesting to see the commentary team now which might speed up the GCN subscription ....

Is there any list of races that SBS is televising this year. I might get GCN again.

It's on their website.

PN is the first one for the year. Basically I think it's ASO only races, hence no SB.

Bummer for Tiesj, but a well deserved winner. Some great footage of Alaphilippe doing aircrobatics :lol:

No win, but another top ten for Vos :D

And he almost got back to his feet and held it, but then he tumbled fwd again.

You'd want to make sure none of that dust stays in the wounds !!

It won't cost any more just because it's lapsed. You won't get the special introductory rate from last year though. The payment system is so bad that if you need to change the card used for payment you have to cancel your subscription and create a new one using the new card.

Robbi McEwan is starting with GCN/Eurosport tonight in their Tirreno-Adriatico coverage.

Yep, it did.

The re-subscribe (before expiry) was $31, vs $64 now.

Meh, not the end of the world, but still sucks as I got my act together a day late ....

A very poor highlights package of the actual race, but check out the madness of the on-bike footage starting at 2:10 :shock:
