2022 Giro d’Italia Thread

I think it’s a mirroring/ airplay problem from my iPad to my Samsung television. It works fine on my iPad but keeps cutting out when I try to use AirPlay. Hopefully they can release a app for Samsung or Roku sooner than later.

I was attempting to play it directly on my Samsung 4ktv with the installed app. It had been working fine for 12 months until it the app updated itself 3 days ago and then didn’t.

I have that issue if I am using a VPN…but there should also be a native Samsung app for your TV.

Theyve been having a chrome casting issue recently. Its on their website.

There is a Samsung app. I was using it until it stopped working.

You could also try and use a HDMI cable and see if that works better than casting.

MVP was impressive…a couple of times I thought he was out of the frame, but he fought back each time. Bummer for Ewan, but that was 100% on him (and he was out of it by then anyway).

On the other hand:

Humor props for WvA.

Had a couple of freezing issues before the GCN app (Firestick) “lost connection.” Came back after a reset and the last 25k were issue-free. Well… for those of us watching :smiley:

Short ITT on deck for tomorrow…barely 9K, but the last 1.3K are uphill. MVP has reportedly been putting in a lot of time on his TT bike (compared to the Tour last year), so he was clearly focused on getting pink today (check box) and defending it tomorrow.

Honestly, I haven’t dug enough into it to see who any of the decent TT’ers may be, outside of Dumoulin. I’m assuming he is the heavy favorite for the stage tomorrow. He finished 25th today, 4" down on MVP (with a bunch of other riders).

So maybe a tussle between Dumoulin and MVP for the pink jersey tomorrow…

ETA - took a quick glance at the start list and the only two decent TT guys that I noticed were Alex Dowsett and Jonathan Castroviejo. Dowsett lost 7"+ today and Castroviejo lost 2’35". Could they be saving themselves for tomorrow or just saving energy for later in the race? Not like today was too demanding of a stage for them to lose that kind of time.

Loving the GCN+ coverage. Actually watched the team presentation for the first time ever.

Felt bad for Caleb in the finish, especially given how he crashed out of the TdF last year. Good job for MdvP to come around. He came from pretty far back it seemed like.

How deep are you willing to dig to win…'cuz MVP will probably dig deeper.

After about a minute, you can see him point to someone and say “morgen” (tomorrow)…it was Dumoulin he pointed to.

…it is on!! :eyes::eyes:

What form does Dumoulin have?

Don’t really know…I don’t think it is great, but this was a target race for him and the TT is short.

His biggest challenge IMO is his head….he tends to get inside it and then have bad results.

I’m afraid you are right, but I will root for him today!
