motorcycle cameras in ToC

[jthurow]

Anyone else notice how often the motorcycles with the camera people seem to be getting in the way of the riders in the ToC? I could've swore I heard the Toyota-United guy in the breakaway yell at the camera dude, and I quote... "to get the @#$% outta the way," which was a bit suprising to hear given the coverage wasn't live. Then I saw the Colavita dude have to hit the brakes right as he was reaching the motorcycle after trying to attack the breakaway. Now that's gotta suck..

I thought they were motorpacing.

i bet the guys on the motorcycles are less experienced at doing their job than the riders. I heard the same thing.

watch the final hour of the 2006 Milano San Remo for the same thing.
