Gah! I’d been looking forward all day to watching the race - make dinner, put the boy to bed, feed the cat and then put my feet up with a beer and GCN/Eurosport. The first couple of minutes were incredibly dull with the scene setter, but I thought, that’s okay one of Rob Hatch or Carlton Kirby or Dan Lloyd with or without Sean Kelly and Brian Smith will be along shortly. After 20km I realised this wasn’t going to happen and there were still 59km to go…
I am no commentator, but Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the Wee Donkey, how much did Kirby pay this guy for us to practically beg them to bring him back? Have all the staff at Eurosport been pinged by the COVID app and are at home self-isolating? I would have preferred an accompaniment of lift music.
not even going to mention the race because the riders had about as much enthusiasm as the commentator
