What is Hayter doing?

Can't believe you've fallen for the Kirby narrative... he doesn't actually exist, he's a spook.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Who cares man

BUCHMANNNNN

 

[Gigs_98]

Gutted for schachmann. Really impressive performance by him.

 

[postmanhat]

My God that was a beautiful Kirby passage. Mistaking Rodrigues for Hayter, then Manny Bookman for Aular.

Guess it isn‘t 2019 anymore

I've actually branched out to some Danish Eurosport today, so I'm finally rid of Kirby! Danish commentators also at a loss to explain Hayter's non-showing in the sprint.

Looked like Hayter and Rodriguez had a small talk with a few km left. Must have hatched out the worst plan ever.

 

[Faserr]

Nice finish. Really close. Schachmann could be back for the classics.

Confirmed Landa broken collarbone

Geez. What a slaughter this race has been.

Can't help but have a part of me thinking, did anyone throw up their hands in frustration when he crashed?

 

[Netserk]

Can we complain about the route now, @tobydawq?

Collarbone for Landa.

Bora still in the GC mix, even after Rog's exit.

 

[hfgon1]

Ccoming like 30th in a group full of climbers

15th. Better than expected.

 

[Samamba]

Terrible parcours. Sure doesn't help that all the favorites are gone but this race is ending tomorrow and it feels like it hasn't even started yet.

Do you think this was a bad stage?

 

[Escarabajo]

Can we complain about the route now, @tobydawq?

Well, I can start. Yesterday SKJELMOSE said that there could be a harder stage or stages so there would be less riders fighting for position at the end. That is a start.

Hayter is overdue for being booted from Ineos. Don't think I've ever seen someone complete the transition into useless shadow of his former self at that young an age.

Kirby is overdue for being booted from the commentary booth. Don't think I've ever seen anyone be that reliable at misidentifying riders, and that includes Jez Cox and early-career José Been.

You couldnt make it up ...his 2 obsessions in one
Plus does he know the Bora Kit one wonders ?

 

[Netserk]

Do you think this was a bad stage?

Yes, given the rest of the route and what was possible.

My favourite Kirby moment was the incredibly dramatic and memorable moment of Evenepoel cracking on stage 13 in the Vuelta, the Tourmalet stage, you would expect a bit of reverence and maybe some sincere words.

It pans to Remco looking like he's about to burst into tears going up the mountain, team around him consoling him, then a familiar white jersey comes along side him and you just hear.

'ARRRRGGHH NO.... THERE'S GEOFFREY SOUPE'

We had to rewind it multiple times. was absolutely howling

 

[DNP-Old]

This was already the penultimate stage? Lol, what a tragic race.

Today I watched a video of 2011 Roubaix with Phil Liggett in commentary and he misidentified the group he was seeing about a dozen times and was annoyed that Hushovd didn‘t ride with Cancellara.

It's devolved into a promising one-day race, only with the field decimated by effectively five stages worth of Scheldeprijs.

 

[roundabout]

Do you think this was a bad stage?

It seemed to have been raced hard from to start to finish, but still ended with 30+ guys sprinting for the win.

And it will probably be the second toughest road stage this week.
