it was available in the US and it had Eurosport english language announcers, weird that it wasn't shown in the UK

they had the Tour of Valencia on going by the dates, similar to this year in fact.

Someone tell Kirby the correct pronunciation of Vauquelin please.
He might aswell put a hot potatoe in his mouth and try to say bakelite.

I think helicopter sounds are an essential part of the race. I find them soothing, in a way, and they take me back to when I watched my first TdF at the age of 6.
Absolutely it sounds weird but it's a pleasantly relaxing sound, and always feels weird when it's missing, its asmr for cycle races
The rumours is always it's a canned sfx sound on repeat anyway, they just add it for atmosphere

Likely Rob Hatch broke it because Blythe was too annoying.

Note to ES....
sticking The Brehhhk-a-wheyyyy at the start & end of a race, doth not an important race make. (yeah,, im lookin at you UAE T W)
I feel like im being gaslighted to regard wimmenz cycling in as high regard as the menz.
How many top mens stage races are we going to get, that don't get this Very-Important-Peloton treatment?

I don't understand the point of the pre race show,except maybe for TdF or one of the big one day classics, either start later if the race organisers can't be bothered to show the whole race, or just actually show the race instead.
None of them add anything knowledgeable, or insightful to enhance our viewing of the race, they don't spend time around races they don't commentate on, you could argue even the ones they do they don't pay attention to it, or digging out stories from talking to sources in the races, learning who is in form, what goals riders or teams have got. It's like listening to a pub conservation with a bunch of people who are best mates full of clichés.
And they pick riders to watch based largely on looking at last year's results.
Why did Eurosport tv in uk, just show stage 2 ofOman, for 2023 with Herrada winning? Completely confused me for a while

see theyre sticking with the lets talk about nothing for 20mins pre live race coverage whilst the race is actually happening format
still better than the "here's our 6th useless interview of a rider saying the exact same cliches as the last 5" taking up half the screen
same here.
no pics coming in due to thunderstorm, and only managed to pick up race from fixed camera at finish line.
god knows why 2023 race was substituted.

How did he tell the story?
If he told it as a funny story, I really don't see why it would be a problem to laugh about it.

Gotta love José Been's completely made up story about how France doesn't have street names...

We can choose to laugh at Johannessen throwing away the win: not sure that it is very professional for Been to do so.
