watching a T i z stream of Paris Roubaix..
what's with this Cox/Hutch/Rowsell B-team commentary?... same as Flanders last week.
is there a Robbie/Sean A-team stream i'm missing out on, or is this the new crappy normal on TNT?

 

[awavey]

hmm, not sure, Ive got Declan, Robbie ,Sean and occasionally Matt chipping in.

So we got a good range of commentar recently, I think Declan Quigley is now my favourite lead commentato apart from Matt Stephens, watching Pais Vasco was my first time having to endue CK this season, he hasn't got any better. You could tell his analyst was a bit confused by his nonsense at times, was it Stephen Cummings?

 

[piada especial]

yeah, steve cummings in the booth with kirby for itzulia. cummings sounds so laid back and calm. it's such a stark contrast to CK's constant blathering.

Mielke: Were you watching cycling Sunday, Anders?
Lund: Paris-Roubaix? Yes...
Mielke: No. Clásica de Pascua, as preparation. It also finished in Padrón.

There is a deal on L'Equipe at the moment where you can subscribe for €3.99 per month and it provides access to the french Eurosport 1 and 2 channels. After 6 months it increases to €10.99 then after a year to the full cost of €14.99. If you're not in France it may not be possible to take this deal.

HBO Max is providing two streams for the Giro...the normal broadcast and also multiscreen option.
I think they did last year too, but I had completely forgotten about it.

Discovery+ did multi screen yes, though from what i remember of it people complained about it taking the ad free stream spot and the choice of cameras was a tad random iirc. I tried watching it for a stage but gave up last time. Might see if they've improved it but its trying to find the time really

That multi-screen thing is just mental distraction. I'd rather stay focused on what the TV director thinks is important.
