Giro, cyclingnews and velonews same race?
Here's 2 comments from today's commentary of the 4th stage
of the Giro.
Cyclingnews:
15:43 CEST 149km/62km to go
The finish today doesn't look very technical -
there are no twisty sections in the last kilometres
so we can hope for a safe arrival.
Velonews:
3:41 p.m. - Looking ahead to the finish, the final kilometer looks pretty tough.
There are quite a number of tight turns out there.
It is quite technical and may bugger things up for a team like Fassa,
driving the train into the line.
Are these guys watching/commetating on the same race?

Followup,
cyclingnews just posted the following:

16:10 CEST
Thomas Dekker (Rabobank) is keeping himself at the back of the bunch. Looks like he got a scare at that crash earlier on.
Correction as to the stage finish: I was wrong in calling it untechnical. In fact, finale today is pretty difficult with a downhill section, curve after curve, and an uphill part before the line. Sorry about that.

Seems that they would at least review the parcours before
writing something like the first statement.
oh well, no harm no foul.

cyclingnews' live coverage is abysmal . . . I think they just have one half drunk monkey in there typing whatever comes to his mind.

Because half drunnk monekys work for nothing. And they are too busy to unionize...its simple monkey economics...The consumer will see the benefit..maybe more flashy adds...
