+timeline updates are simply the titles, so sometimes you get something like "ranking after x km" or "present riders today from last years top 20" with no details. for now i am not getting the details from underneath, because for the most part they can be ignored. the action timeline headings like "wheel change for x rider" are good enough when they come through.

+will try to get situation feed next, although it is not always visible so a challenge...
