Anyone else notice the strange time discrepancies in live Vuelta coverage today?
Somehow Cyclingnews and Eurosport seemed to be more than a half hour behind Velonews and LaVuelta.
from Velonews "4:14 p.m. - Pereiro zig-zagging trying to drop Ardila. Sanchez has caught on with 400m to go. It's a three up sprint. Ardila starts the effort....Ardila puts up his arms with 100m !! Oh... what a blunder - Sanchez shoots by for the win!! D'OH!!!!"

From Cyclingnews:
"16:53 CEST 193km/0km to go Ardila is on the front, and sprints up to the KOM point, which is just 200 metres before the finish line. He lifts his arms, but realises right away that it's too soon! So Sanchez continued, and won the stage in front of Pereiro and Ardila"
Today's stage was superfast. Something like 50 minutes faster than the fastest anticipated finish. So EuroSport was not showing it live, but rather delayed so it would fit in the time slot they had allocated for it (starting at 4pm WET). You don't suppose that Jeff was just grabbing his updates off EuroSport?

I suppose he can address that issue, although he can pass the buck since the Cyclingnews live webpage does note: "Commentary by Hedwig Kröner, with additional reporting from Hernan Alvarez"
