Relax, I'm now leaving him alone.
I've come to realise that nothing can as bad as the Jez Cox style of commentary.

Jose Been detractors might want to argue that point.
We need more Matt Stephens on the schedule or has he got other jobs?
Happy that Quigley seems to be getting more work but they'll probably keep Carlton and Hatch but the big races.

I don't know about the polyg part, but you can be a lot at times
You always poke fun at me for being short, but now you're saying I'm a lot?!

Presumably that's like English commentators talking about Sandy Casar getting married and Felix Grossshartner being generous , and just assuming that the listener would get it, although there is no real phonetic clue.
I would trust a Dutch audience to be more able to appreciate it than an anglophone one.

Caught up on the Denain race today. José Been explained patiently that the ch in Vermeersch is not sounded, then proceeded to fluctuate between Vermeers and Vermeersh in commentating.
The commentary provided by Been and Walker for Denain was disappointing because they waffled on for too long, and forgot to call the reace.

It's possibile that he confused Cyprus with the island of Capri, at least that' s what I hope for. StillKarsten Kroon "Cyprus is a country, I thought it was an island of Italy."
Followed by: "I went there on holiday once"

"We remember the first time they passed Tourmalet (in the Tour)."
No... No Bastian. I really don't remember that.

I was expecting to hear Carlton do the difficult job of the first 200k of MSR but I must say, even though I kind of missed all the anecdotes about eating and drinking his way around Italy, I enjoyed Robbie and Nathan talking actual cycling.
Now we have the horse racing commentator for the finale.

What is it with this commentator, he is always breathing in the microphone. Isn't there anyone to tell him to stop?

that was a really a nice break from Hatch/Blythe/McEwen today, no complaints
Never quite understand why TNT/ Disco or whatever do more than one commentary in the same language. McDonald with Rowe and Walker also on duty.

I missed the race and its corresponding commentary. What kind of actual cycling did Robbie and Nathan talk about for 3 hours?

It's both of them, but you obviously only have to turn them 90 degrees.

And add an emblem to the white section.
The flag of Monaco is the flag of Poland turned upside-down.

Kirby and Smith were working for another broadcaster, not TNT.
That's what was confusing me, I guess it's like when Quigley was doing UCI comms for a bit, there's a local feed and an international feed
