86th Tour de Suisse (2.UWT) // June 11th - 18th 2023

I had to switch from ambient to English to hear for myself... For my German ears she doesn't sound extremely Dutch. I have certainly heard much stronger Dutch accents.

And she's by far the better of the current duo...

 

[BR2]

seriously, who gives an F about her accent!?

she speaks way better english than i do dutch.

all that matters is the content that she adds. and that seems good to me.

Of course there's an area where it becomes exhausting to listen and that shouldn't happen with a commentator, but for me that's clearly not the case here.

Yeah I think her presence makes Hatch refrain from his over the top Spanitalianish pronunciations.

I always wonder if he’s going to gag when he tries to pronounce “Roman Bardet”…

 

[Samamba]

Mustve been a crash or something?

 

[BR2]

English commentators always get so excited about everything. Apart from Jens every German commentator would be like "it's all coming back together anyway, no need to talk about it".

 

[Big Doopie]

uae massing...

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Mustve been a crash or something?

I think they just went relatively fast and there were corners and nobody can survive that.

 

[Big Doopie]

camera work not so great atm - unable to see front much.

 

[Big Doopie]

remco. no teammates.

ineos calling...

 

[Riek s]

WVA going for boni seconds?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Wout looks ready for the Tour to provide more drama for Netflix.

 

[Big Doopie]

WVA going for boni seconds?

pts.

 

[Riek s]

pts.

but why? is he riding for the point classification? I can imagine doing that in a GT, but in these races? (for someone like him)

 

[Big Doopie]

james knox doing good.

 

[BR2]

That was a nice moment with James Knox... he's already tired, but comes to the front to do his job now, sets his power meter, ready to work... like a gif of a domestique...

We are on a climb on which only a prime Chris Froome could follow the great Simon Špilak in Tour de Romandie in 2014. The end of the stage wasn't at the top of the climb but in Aigle at the end of the descent. Of course in a two men sprint it was the great Simon Špilak who came up victorious to win the stage.

Let's see if the Belgian Simon Špilak can live up to his name.

He did the same thing yesterday in the intermediate sprint. So clearly he is only interested in the points competition

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Higuita gone.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Higuita gone.

Where did he go?

 

[Mayomaniac]

Higuita and bad weather is really not a love story...
He really can't handle it to safe his life.

 

[red_flanders]

Quick Step just don’t have a GC team worthy of Remco. INEOS haVE like 4 guys and he has a fading Knox.

 

[Berniece]

Here we go

 

[Tim Cahill]

Felix Gall is looking cracked recently

 

[jaylew]

What's the recension for Jip van den Bos being co-commentator for Eurosport? I think for a first timer (at least on British Eurosport) she's doing quite fine.

Is she new? I feel like I've heard her several times.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Gall casually following Evenepoel
