Morning lads, nice to see you back again for another year of Nibbling.

Now we /Nibble/.
Bought my first proper road bike a few weeks ago lads, a Trek Émonda.

Hi.
I joined /cyc/ last summer for the first time in watching the Olympics. It was comfy.

I used a VPN to watch CBC and BBC for the Olympics and they were great. Do you have a link to the Eurosport live stream? And what countries do they allow access from? Never used the site. Thanks!

Whine all you want. I do agree it's stupid.
I do not like Eurosport rate commercials and I avoid it if I can. But PT Eurosport has some very fun based commentators, specially one that actually knows his stuff and knows almost 90% of the pelloton by the way they pedal. Some times he can tell you who's attacking or who's in a escape long before the TV.

>>75717652
The only positive about Danish Eurosport is when Brian Holm is co-commentator which he is today and will be for some of the stages. He has some good anecdotes and never holds back on his opinions even though he still works in the sport.
The other guys sound half asleep all the time.
Commentators do matter a whole lot. Rolf Sörensen who's on the non-ad station that shows all the other races is like the guy you describe.
It's pretty impressive how they can recognise riders instantly in these times with helmets and big glasses.

True, but it would me amazing if Pinot makes it with the big guns, even just finishing close to Quintana and Nibali. He is definitely one of /ourguy/s and it's nice to see him attempt the Giro, away from the overwhelming pressure from the French fans that he can't deal with because he's got a frail personality
>live data not showing power in W/Kg

cute dog.
>>75718318
It's been reported many times. He's a terrible descender, and succumbs to pressure. He doesn't enjoy the pressure and attention people give him during the Tour de France. That's what I've read about him, anyway
Compare that to Bardet, who is an excellent descender, confident and enjoys being in the spotlight. It's like Pinot arrived, France pinned all their hopes on him, then he faltered which led to a mental blockage, after which Bardet came around and stole the French public's hearts. Now all the hopes are on Bardet, who I'm sure enjoys that much more than Pinot ever did
>>75718318
This is why I'm happy he's attempting the Giro this year. Nobody in France really cares about the other GT's so he can train and do his best without the constant pressure and (re)build his confidence
Who are /ourguys/? I've never followed /cyc/ or /sp/ before last November.
I guess Nibali and Quintana?

Lampre-Merida are gone I think and there's now team Bahrain-Merida.
