Awful image quality and coverage of commonwealth today
Trying to watch the women's commonwealth race this morning on the BBC and they are having shocking quality on the video. Add in dropping coverage of the race over to iplayer in favour of the athletics with 20km to go it's clear how much they care about cycling.
Edit: apparently the video is courtesy of Sunset and Vine so not the BBCs fault.

Why is viewing on iPlayer inferior? Screen size?
Thanks

Re: Awful image quality and coverage of commonwealth today
I only watched the last 10k as it was pretty boring, like a Sunday club run. I think the trees on the course were causing a problem for the uplink to the plane/helicopter. Great ride by the Aussies, rubbish from England, Scotland best of the home nations, despite only having 2 riders in the race.

I'm old enough to remember Mandy Jones's World Championship win forty years ago. I was bouncing up and down in front of the television willing her to stay away alone up that last hill at Goodwood.
It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

Heard the plane had a fuel leak in the tank during the women's race.
Didn't help they made possible the most boring profile imaginable

They also seem to have completely missed the mens race. Can't see it anywhere on iplayer. Any chance there is just a delay uploading it?

Look on the BBC Sport website, it has all 11 live feeds from today. I replayed the last few K’s about an hour after the finish, as I’d been out when it was shown live.jamm13dodger wrote: ↑7 Aug 2022, 7:34pm They also seem to have completely missed the mens race.

This is both road races, the men's coverage starting around 4h30mins in.
