Eurosport commentary

[Wyndbrook]

I'm usually moaning about Carlton Kirby, but of the current English language options my ideal commentary combo is Matt Stephens and Dan Lloyd.

I find Matt gets too breathlessly excited sometimes, another who seems prone to the exaggerated commentary style, because you watch some of his podcast stuff or videos he puts out, and I just think why cant you commentate like that instead.

Dans always a good pair or foil for any of the commentators they match him with.

Dan is the best of the lot and can also do lead commentary as well as analysis. He seems to get on really well with Carlton; I think the two of them have had some good nights out together in bars along the routes.
My top 5 is
1. Dan
2. Carlton
3, Matt
4. Vino
5. Other

4. Vino

You occasionally got Vino as a commentator? Didn't even realise his English was that good.

No...it was attempt at continuing the Vino/Other option joke we get on polls.

I was thinking never heard Vino do a stint

Imho Jez Cox and Matt Stephens is really good combo. I really like voice and intonation and general language skills and situation dynamics of Cox, and he goes nicely with Italian, Spanish and French names and places names. This particulary annoys me in Hatch as he overarticulates and Cox does not. Of course both Jez and Matt get quite overhyped and kinda nuts when something big moments happen in a race and it's a bit so and so but.. Overall good pair.

Harris-Bass still available, we do need those lovely recepies?!

Does anyone know the name of the lead commentator of the Romandie race?
If so, I would like to write him a love letter.
The way he casually introduces interesting tidbits -- e.g. surrounding scenery, local bird culture, and random observations -- into intense race commentary is majestic.
He reminds me of my man Carlton Kirby.
Sometimes he leaves his co-host speechless after riffing on local bird culture for a minute straight. I like.

That post belongs in the "what is trolling" thread. 🙄

I just heard highlights that included CK's voice and am wondering if that's what you mean by the trolling insinuation.
If he's the sole commentator for the Romandie race, I sincerely apologize. I swear I heard another feed that included an unknown voice accompanied by Matt (whom I assume is the guy from GCN).
Honestly, I'm not trying to goof around.

Its Jez cox

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Yes there are two English language feeds

One is Matt Stephens and Jez Cox on Eurosport
Another is world feed where they sent Carlton Kirby by himself to Switzerland to sit by himself in a small box at the finish line ...karma I guess is real

I honestly don't understand why they don't use that combination more often..

 

[the delgados]

Its Jez cox

Thank you. For a minute there I was beginning to fear I was losing my mind.
Jez is the real deal.

As long as Adam Blythe is not there. Used to like him when he first joined for his race insights but now he's a little too matey and jokey.

 

[wirral]

Quite often I find Brian Smith appears to be less than courteous to Jose Been. Does he dislike her, disrespect women in general or is it just Paisley manners?

He does the same to Carlton Kirby as well but in a less dismissive way but rather by just telling Carlton he is an annoying plonker.

 

[Potomac]

Who will be doing the Giro?

Was it the Eddy Bos or Omar Fraille story she interupted???

 

[Wyndbrook]

I assume it will be Rob Hatch, he has for the last few years.

 

[argyllflyer]

Yeah some common of Hatch Lloyd and Blythe I think? CK does Tour and vuelta for Eurosport

There was talk in one of the recent races (TofA??) that Blythe would be on a moto in the third week.

Stand by for the Doll-o-meat-ess and other over-pronounced place names.
