ASO gives its TV broadcasts an extra layer by distributing the messages from the following vehicles. 17 of the 22 teams gave their consent for a fee.
TV channels could take over the signal for a fee, VRT-Sporza did not accept the expensive offer.
After 2 weeks of racing, however, many followers and TV viewers remain unsatisfied. The messages are strictly filtered and what withstands the censorship are often reports that no cycling enthusiast misses a race nap for.
But a few rides ago, the uniform sausage was broken by UAE Team Emirates.
Tadej Pogacar’s team switched to plan C. “Everybody jump the tiger, when the crocodiles have to swim, you jump!”
Just about everyone classed those words from the team management as a joke to break up the monotonous element, but that turns out to be wrong.
UAE shared a behind-the-scenes video this morning. Around 1’52” we discover how the team management once again explains the meaning to the riders.
