    GCN cyclocross commentators

    Hi all, hope there are some out there still see this thread, as commentators either kill a race for me or richly enhance it and I would love some feedback...At the moment the main thing which really grinds my gears is the fact that Jez Cox has picked up Marty's awful verbal crutch and is saying...

    Commentary and coverage on HBO MAX (formerly TNT, Discovery, EuroSport etc)

    In my undue haste to go to bed I forgot to include Robbie McEwen who is right up there with the best and can switch from serious to comic in an instant and he can liven up the most tedious races. I fear the worst, however, as more and more races are being single crewed now and that leaves some...

    Commentary and coverage on HBO MAX (formerly TNT, Discovery, EuroSport etc)

    Being a relative newcomer to cycle racing, my thoughts on the various commentators have changed now I sort of understand what it entails and what they have to contend with. I began with cyclocross and have now become a big road race fan - again due to having been educated and would be interested...

    GCN cyclocross commentators

    It has been a while since I last posted and a lot has gone on. Firstly, I have warmed to Ian Field whose knowledge and understanding of what is going on is superb and I think he must have been told about his constant 'yeah's ' punctuating sentences as he is much more fluent and easier on the...

    Jed Cox was on good form this week alongside Ian Field....who also has a really annoying habit of punctuating sentences with 'Yeah' all the time. It is very contagious as even with riders whose English is their second or third language. Despite my moans there has been some seriously good racing...

    GCN cyclocross commentators

    I know I am getting old and less likely to accept stuff but Marty McDonald is driving me absolutely nuts with his constant use of the phrase 'As Well'. He uses it out of context all the time as punctuation or as a verbal crutch just to fill space and often one single sentence will have three 'as...

    Race Thread

    Hi guys. I am looking to subscribe somewhere to watch as much CX as possible in the new season. Can somebody recommend the best way to go about it? I am useless with technology so if somebody can puppy walk me through the basics I would be grateful. I am in England so at the moment am using the...

    Race Thread

    Hi all, me again. I can only locate two races on Red Bull and they are from 2020. I watched some stuff on Tiz but that permanently buffers now. I am useless with technology and so am struggling to find any old CX races with English commentary and would also like to be in the position to watch...

    Race Thread

    As a new convert and addict to CX I am frustrated that I cannot find old races to watch on the net which are not with non English commentary or just concentrate on the front two and ignore the other 50 odd - not even giving updates. Are there such sites and if so where please?! I also enjoy the...
