[Samamba]

No way they're going to bla bla about the womens race when the mens race is literally exploding. Ffs.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

When exactly will live pictures of the men's race actually be broadcast?

Still another ten minutes I think.

 

[Samamba]

Group already has 45 seconds... Race done lol?

Nope. Rather put on a long Cavendish interview.

 

[Netserk]

Seems like there's still maybe 20 minutes until live coverage. Why not be clear in advance when exactly we'll get pictures of the race?!

 

[Salvarani]

Looks like a great group.

 

[Netserk]

They are approaching Leberg for the second time.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Attacks absolutely flying off the front and GCN are still mucking about in the studio

Nothing GCN can do about that, the official broadcast hasn't started yet.

 

[Netserk]

Benoot is my favourite from Jumbo. I hope Stybar will show some promises.

 

[Samamba]

So Jumbo started attacking out of that group, now it's just 6 guys left apparently. Tratnik and Van Hooydonck in there. Obrien, Swift, Wright and Haller are the others.

 

[Red Rick]

I especially love showing interviews with riders who have already been dropped

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pidcock adopting the accent of the interviewer!

@Domestique___

#OHN23 - 86 KM The gap between the first 2 groups is 2'39". The peloton is 4' behind the front of the race. #DomestiqueLive

So the 6 riders group have nearly 1'30'' on the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

As they are over Leberg and turn left, they are now facing a headwind.

 

[Salvarani]

13:30-14:30 no live pictures... brilliant.

 

[Danskebjerge]

I especially love showing interviews with riders who have already been dropped

or have crashed.

 

[Samamba]

2 minutes for a group with guys like Tratnik and Wright... Yeah don't know what the peloton is doing.

 

[Netserk]

We are live!

 

[theyoungest]

Pidcock adopting the accent of the interviewer!

Why do Brits think a Dutch accent involves the sh-sound? Dutch doesn't have that, at least not very often. British commentators always used to call Wesley Sneijder "Schneider", as if he's a German.

 

[Netserk]

The chase group is on Paddestraat.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Is the timing display new?

Exciting times for people who watch the race through a telescope!

Maybe I'm just getting old

 

[Netserk]

Lotto leading the peloton, FdJ 2nd wheel.

 

[Netserk]

Is the timing display new?

Yes, new graphics. I like it.
