I've noticed that as well. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm going to assume my man Carlton Kirby has health problems that prevent him from providing the commentary we desperately need. There's no other logical reason for replacing a maestro with deadwood. Godspeed, CK!

Wow wow wow wow!

Then there hasn't been a single talented rider in Tour de France-winning history.

topcat: I live in the bottom of the basin -- i.e. Toronto -- and can attest to the oppressive heat. I very nearly crashed while descending the huge hill on Bayview Ave. due to dehydration and heat stroke. I lost control of my arms and barely managed to stay upright. All I could think about...

I suspect UAE will solve that problem by wearing yellow from day one.

I have yet to see the use of the name Karen as a pejorative on this forum, but I'm just trying to get ahead of the game. I've introduced petitions on other forums, but no one has signed. I've gone so far as to beg people on other forums, but no luck. My pleas are being ignored. They just don't...

I'm with you on the epic and bruh part, but I don't understand why washed is on your list. Also, as mentioned, any mention of GOAT has to go. And pardon the interruption, but please, right honorable Potomac, include the use of the name Karen as a pejorative on the ban list. My best friend's...

"There ain't no party at this Giro like a Plappy party" -- TNT commentator who shall remain nameless. You see, this is what happens when commentators try to adopt CK's style by spending hours at home watching videos and trying desperately to mimic my man's brilliant turns of phrase and poetic...

You might be on to something here. Maybe give CK's employers a shout and let them know what others -- including his legion of fans -- can't see. You might singlehandedly save the cycling broadcasting industry from future masquerading and all-round cluelessness. Before writing to CK's boss, you...

"Suddenly the powers that be will tire of the cash payoffs...." And I think I'm going to win the 2025 Tour de France. The chances of the scenario you describe is unimaginable. No way the UCI is going to bite the hand that feeds them. Even if you take away the greed factor, orchestrating a...

All true. I guess I'm fixated on the part where Healy tried his best to create some daylight between him and Pogi. Pogi did not even glance his way. It was like the competitor did not exist. Pogi looked like he was checking out text messages on his phone.

Mission accomplished!

I agree about the part where he seemed to be fighting with the bike to get it to move forward, but we're talking the Mur here. I've never been, but it looks like they're climbing a wall, especially near the end. But the way he powered away without any concern about his competitors made it look...

I haven't read all the comments, so I apologize if I'm being repetitious. It's bloody obvious the guy is on the gear. I have no idea if he's riding a moto, but the thing that stuck out to me was the fact he didn't even flinch when riders like Healy tried to launch an attack in the last few...

Joey Pidcock's description of how he finished in last place reminded me of Rough Ride where Paul Kimmage described the massive divide between top-tier riders and professional pack fillers. It's like watching a kid on tv riding on a bike path parallel to the road where the pros pass by like the...
