Re: Re:

Kelly just now talking about the new Sky bike "only the real hard men survive, you cannot put a climber into Paris-sRoubaix and give him all the best material, it just doesn't work"

Kelly is a funny guy

So he's saying Team Sky are a bunch of softies?

Re:

Out of interest does French Eurosport broadcast this, or since its shown by France 3 do they let it go.

Hatch's rider recognition is spot on. Very refreshing

 

[Rollthedice]

Devolder is out.

Re:

To be fair, if there is ever a move with Kwiatkowski, Arredondo and Samuel Dumoulin in it, Kirby will be absolutely ON IT.

Loved his hyping Tosh van der Sande all day to Vitoria (Tosh DNF), and calling Arredondo following the leaders up Aia (he finished 6 minutes down) after calling Felline in the sprint in Vitoria (then shouting Arredondo! for no apparent reason).

Well I guess your intentions were good so thanks, though I was looking for French Eurosport, and under absolutely no circumstances British Eurosport (though I guess since kirby isn't there, its a million times better than usual)

Sean Kelly's a great commentator for me I like his sense of humour, he's the best they've got imo. The cobbles are looking tough as some are still wet. JD win for me if he can stay on like last year.

Thankfully i have been saved through discipline from suffering Kirby for the last year and a bit, but I still remember how he would call Richeze as the attacker deep into mountain stages because he didn't know who Scarponi was, or did the same mistake with Dumoilin because he didn't know who Betancur was. And this was after several several years in the commentary box, he didn't know guys like Scarponi and Betancur

Or when he went on a rant about how disgraceful it was that Cunego be allowed to ride the Tour de France so soon after finishing his "2 year doping ban".

One could go on for ages. I guess its not always his fault he is one of the stupidest people on the planet, though at times he can be a lying scumbag as well. But its mostly the fault of British ES for spending 0 effort on finding commentators and rolling with any idiot no matter how bad they are. Including verified scumbag liar and armstrong fanboy brian smith tffffffu.

after calling Felline in the sprint in Vitoria (then shouting Arredondo! for no apparent reason).

He thought Arredondo was the guy leading out Felline. I'm serious.

Damn. Commercial during the sprint for Arenberg.

Gotta love Sporza, no ad breaks

Still 15km to go to Arenberg tho. Last few years nothing happened in Arenberg anyway, except 1 or 2 favs falling

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sagan taking a ***.. right

Sincere sympathies, I'm still gasping with relief that Kirby has a day off.

French Eurosport is on. Jacky Durand on the mike

I am watching on French Belgian TV (RTBF): http://www.rtbf.be/sport/cyclisme/
Will need a VPN I suppose to watch, but generally excellent quality on the Flemish races

Same with RTBF

Basque flag at Paris-Roubaix: the definition of optimism?

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

You don't want to be in the wheel of Sagan now, the *** smell will scare many off. New tactics by Saxo

 

[Flamin]

Sagan back in the peloton, just in time.

 

[Leffe_Bruin]

So how did that work? The Saxo teamcar has toiletpaper for these kind of situations or what?
