Right, only the ones I posted went up before the top 10 was even done riding.

Also, the overall is getting closer by the run, so awesome. As a fan, this is quite possibly the best season ever.

Can I get a direct link of where to watch the final here in California please:biggrin:

What time does it start here in Cali?

you obviously didn't read the other 5 pages of people moaning about how it wont be played live due connection problems, but that shortly (hopefully) after the race runs some vids of the top guys will come up

edit: but i believe it starts at 8pm PST

 

[Transcend]

The runs will be up right after finals. The internet connection is super spotty down there and cannot support our stream.

 

[T-Boner]

Hopefully they will have the internet good within a year for the world champs.

oh for some reason I was thinking it began at 11:30 EST, my mistake

 

[Transcend]

Women on course.

Sheryl Macleod (NZL) leading with 8 women to go.

and why not a satellite truck now?

why cant freecaster always put up the complete coverage? for the world champs freecaster did it.
I would rather look at the complete coverage not live then that freecaster messes up with the live and only gives you top 3 later.

 

[T-Boner]

Anyone know if it is still muddy or raining?

Money. It costs an awful lot. They are doing it out of a love for cycling and World Cup racing. Be happy. When there is no live broadcast, it is due to conditions outside of their control.

As for worlds, they put up top 30, that is all. It takes an enormous amount of diskspace and bandwidth, so that is why it is not done.

I have no idea what a SMG truck costs. Was just wondering why not now and why not complete coverage not live.

Somehow I would have expected that there should be a good internetconnection between australia and the rest of the world.
But they could have tested the connection a couple of days before the race so there would be time to get stuff fixed. ( i am no internet nerd, just saying what comes to mind)

does freecaster get al their money of sponsors/commercials?

 

[Transcend]

yikes, rachel doesnt win! Jonnier second by .14. Times were about 8 seconds slower than qualifying.

Timing was lagged out.

 

[JCL]

Please keep the updates coming Transcend !

 

[T-Boner]

Moseley wins women, Rachel second, Sabrina third

It costs a fortune. The connection was tested, as it was at the Canadian event that had the live cut off as well. Internet speeds fluctuate on long runs, especially with a few of the weather conditions that have been seen this year. It was the same at various euro events where they had to hire an SMG truck the day before the event. Doing so in North America or Australia is cost prohibitive, as sattelite time costs much more.

Freecaster is paying for the entire season on their own. There are no pre roll commercials or sponsors, as you may have noticed.

Tracy by 4 seconds

 

[Transcend]

Tracy wins, timing got all lagged for me and said rach and then 20/20. This new system really sucks compared to last years! Good job tracy, win by almost 4 seconds. That's an awful lot of pedaling.

 

[JCL]

Impressive result ! Good to see Rachel getting some comp.

 

[Transcend]

Men on course.

 

[Transcend]

Wyn masters into lead, 36 men to go!

 

[Transcend]

Holy crap these times are tight. ridiculous!

 

[fortenndu]

This needs to go faster. I can't find any coffee.

 

[JCL]

I'd like Peat to win one World Cup so come on Peaty !!!

 

[Transcend]

I think Greg has this one. He has "the legs". Question is, does Sam have the legs to stay close in the points going into finals?

 

[Dogboy]

Holy crap these times are tight. ridiculous!

Seriously!

 

[CRoss]

Neil Donoghue finally makes a slight gap in times.

 

[Transcend]

Fairclough on course.

 

[APIOQM]

How do you guys know the time's and who is going?

 

[Transcend]

UCI live timing website and texts from Australia.

[APIOQM]

ah sick, thanks!!

 

[- seb]

So I presume it's raining since the women have gone slower in the race than qualifying.

 

[APIOQM]

Nice time by CG!

 

[Transcend]

Rain stopped i'm told, course drying. men are going faster than in quali.

 

[Jase76]

Needles just put in a blistering run!

 

[APIOQM]

So are some of you like actually there with ur lap tops or what?
