Yes, but he is no expert in Danish. He also pronounces Kasper Asgreen quite wrongly. Probably Mørkøv too, but can you blame him? He almost nails Vingegaard, however.

You're right.
I've also noticed how he always pronounced 'Kron' with a rather short 'o'.



(Of course, I'm pretty sure he - like most other non-Danish commentators - still pronounces 'Søjberg' as 'Pedersen', which is just... completely off the mark.)
 
Hey, have you guys checked out the MTB Cross Country--xco Youtube channel?
They're broadcasting T-A without commentary, and it's pretty much awesome. All you hear are ambient sounds that accompany a bike race . The lulling sounds of motos and helos are punctuated by sounds like the screeching of brakes, encouraging words from spectators on the mountainside, and the occasional eff-off's of riders who are pissed that their counterpart in a breakaway is not pulling their weight.
 
Carlton was on rare form today. Having to let his cat "bob" out was a highlight haha.
Even cats get bored of watching a five hour race when there's nothing much to say. Not only is my man CK a responsible pet owner, he fills in the gaps when riders look like they're on a group ride. "Oh, Sean, it seems like a rider is chatting with another. Sean, look! A rider just blew his nose! What do you think that means, Sean?"
What do expect the guy to say? He's full of poetry and sublime metaphors, but even my man CK has his limits.
Ease up, m'kay?

I'm not criticising him, I said he was on fine form. I.e. he was balancing the jovial with the racing nicely.
