46th Amstel Gold Race (The maze) - Sunday April 17, 2011

[Kazistuta]

Good thing I got the Danish Eurosport guys, they may not be the best, but they usually dont talk much rubbish, and they are not afraid to admit if thye made a mistake recognising someone, and then correct themselves.

edit: LOL @ SIDI, strangest commercials ever.

But let's be honest and admit that most in here would need a facepalm picture if they had to listen to Leif Mortensen. Might not be Harmon stupid, but he has a funny way of pronouncing rider names (and actually also normal Danish words - i.e. "landevejsløw").

Thomas Bay is above average though.

nibali and basso have done a new weird sidi ad. Weird...

That ads been going all season. The least weird of all the Sidi adverts though.

 

[dlwssonic]

You cannot type it in like that for sopcast.

When it comes to mutilating rider names, Paulo Martins is in a class of his own. Ahead of Phil Liggett even.

 

[The Hitch]

The youngest of the classics, Harmon? Really? What about San Sebastian?

Not covered by eurosport, hence doesnt exist.

 

[Cobblestones]

I see BMC at the front

And Schlecklet at the back.

 

[Francois the Postman]

Harmon seems to me to be getting worse in his commentary...

I thought the same. It is almost if he just shows up these days and wings it. He frequently shows very little awareness of cycling stories that are running in the background, and even miss simple things that are related to the race he is commentating on. A couple of years back he was (or seemed) better prepared.

He has always been the presenter, with an expert sidekick (Kelly), pretty much the standard British Eurosport set-up. Maybe he now feels (mistakenly) that what he has seen and picked up over the last years has been enough to roll with it.

Cheers guys.

Nearly at the 40km mark and still all very tranquilo.
Frank Schleck hasn't even crashed yet.

Try opening with sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/60713

Otherwise, may be something with your ports or firewall?

Haha I guess you are right

 

[The Sheep]

Vacansoleil trying to get themselves kicked out?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Nobody can beat the Spanish commentators in this contest!
Dreadful!

 

[red_flanders]

btw do I have time to clean the bathroom before the race gets really interesting? or is it about to start seriously now?

I'm going to have a shower and breakfast. Seems quite a bore at the moment.

 

[roundabout]

when's the next climb?

very soon

Dreadful!

They're about as bad at pronouncing Germanic names as British commentators are at pronouncing Romance names.

 

[Kazistuta]

Wow, crazy chicane.....

 

[Descender]

when's the next climb?

You mean the next barely perceivable bump?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Eroica....

 

[Kellys Big Sprocket]

Those traffic calming measures could really knock ones teeth out.

 

[The Hitch]

What good is a Dutch race if you cant bait Dekker Tifosi. Come to think of it, I havent seen Moondance nor Youngest here neither. Why arent you at the race ak zaaf?

 

[Bala Verde]

BMC Astana and Lotto on the front row.
