Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

[Sciatic]

Sporza commentary: (didn't know where else to post it)

In Dutch: "Didn't start today: Robin Froidevaux, he had a cold & Hugo Page, he turned another page"

Thought I'd leave it here for all the polyglot posters to enjoy.

Always appreciated!

Can I enjoy it, even if I'm not a polyglot?

 

[Wyndbrook]

Apologies! I tend to get defensive when it comes to criticism of CK. It's a knee-jerk reaction that comes from years of defending my man CK on this forum. I think it's a form of PTSD, but please carry on. Nothing to see here, folks.

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

Bien sur, copine

I don't know about the polyg part, but you can be a lot at times

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.

You always poke fun at me for being short, but now you're saying I'm a lot?!

Short 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.

 

[yaco]

The commentary provided by Been and Walker for Denain was disappointing because they waffled on for too long, and forgot to call the reace.

 

[Lui98]

Karsten Kroon "Cyprus is a country, I thought it was an island of Italy."
Followed by: "I went there on holiday once"

It's possibile that he confused Cyprus with the island of Capri, at least that' s what I hope for. Still

 

[RedheadDane]

"We remember the first time they passed Tourmalet (in the Tour)."

No... No Bastian. I really don't remember that.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

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.

 

[Divergence]

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

 

[zlev11]

that was a really a nice break from Hatch/Blythe/McEwen today, no complaints

Carlton did the women's race with Brian Smith.

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?

According to Mielke, the Maltese flag is the Polish flag, turned around.


No... no... that's the flag of Monaco!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

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
