As for the "Bunch packed thing", it's the same on Rai Italia : they use "Inseguitori" (followers) and "Gruppo compatto" (bunch packed)

All of you who say Soler cant ride in a Peleton. You may be right.
"“We were really disappointed yesterday. Soler should learn how to ride a bike, if not he can sit in the back of the peloton! Today I have ambitions about supporting Rogers on the final climb and then we will see how long I can be in the front”." Thomas Lövkvist |

The thing is, Colombians aren't bad at flat riding
A lot of them are. The racing in south america is very individualistic with long solo breaks in the mountains. These riders aren't used to high-speed packs on the flat. Colombia is where this situation is more extreme.
It's not all Colombian riders. It's a decent percentage of them. It is bullshit, most colombian pro's have ridden on track. And guys like Serpa and Rujano even have been champions.
Some of them are simply poor bike handlers (Soler) or don't cope with living in Europe (Rujano) |

Combine it with Eurosport's audio feed, and you're good to go. |

It happened during stage 3 of the Giro d'Italia Centenary edition (Grado-Valdobbiadene, 198km) after a rider hit Soler from the back and knocked him over. The accident occurred with around 10 km to go, when the speed was very high and the sprinters ready for the finish. The stage win went to Alessandro Petacchi (Lpr), who also reached the pink jersey.

A crash is never a riders fault. If a rider was to admit that they caused the crash, it would knock their self belief far too much. Understand the mentality and make up of all professional athletes.

Yeah, it was a teammate of Cavendish who pushed Soler into the barriers, as a result, Cavendish got stuck as well.
After the finish Cavendish was furieus at Soler for riding in the front of the peloton, and he threw Solers bike on the ground.
Arrogant git...

True. But maybe Soler is in alot of accidents if you look at Armstrong who is pretty good to avoid them. If you count his first careerer. |

Armstrong has always has been good at sitting at the front... Soler doesn't exactly sit at the back, but he gets caught right were the crashes usually happen.

Actually yesterday when I used that compo, all of a sudden, the audio was a minute behind the pictures, so when the crash came up they were just talking normally and a minute after they started getting all high on it

Eurosport is always behind the action, always has been. Last year I watched the entirity of the giro on Rai with eurosport audio lagging by 30 seconds.
