Probably the naked people..................
All that wasted fuel. ;)
I have Eurosport on while I work so I can't speak to what you heard. Everyone uses the same France 2 feed, though, so pictures from the race are all the same.
They do show close ups of the injured riders. The cameras are inches away looking for signs of torn clothing, road rash, blood, pain, etc.
Yesterday, they had a motorcycle riding alongside Boonen as he was trying without succcess to catch up to the pack after his crash.
The Eurosports guys were saying that it was the epitome of SUCK to have a camera in your face when your're fighting a losing battle and in obvious, extreme pain.
The cameras were inches away from Bradley Wiggins in distress today, too.
I would not be surprised if viewers were referring that.
Usually the French feed doesn't show racy spectators, etc., and I can't remember anything else unusual the last couple of days.
Was it from today’s coverage that Phil said that? I confess on these very long stages and FF ahead through some of it b/c it’s just the peloton motoring down the road...and down the road...etc. If you can recall something that was going on at the time, I still have it on my DVR.
One thing I have noticed this year is that they have shown a lot of “natural breaks” as Paul puts it. It’s pretty comical seeing twenty or so of them standing on the side of the road.
