Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

The WC commentator was already teasing Kirby for the rest of the week

Rob Hatch not very good these days. For the whole broadcast he thought it was Mario Costa instead of Rui Costa in Lampre's team, and was naming the former even when the camera panned right in front Rui. Unacceptable. Kelly, too, didn't realize.

Thanks then, the accent was awfully similar. Is this the duo that did Britain as well?

Matt Stephens was co-commentator for ToB.

and on ITV4 Ned Boulting is morphing into Kirby.....totally hogs the commentary time and doesnt let the professional commentate - especially David Millar during the Tour and Vuelta. Yeh do the in between stuff - but just like Kirby they just dont shut up.

Kirby just made fun of the name Pöstlberger, called him Postlburger and asked what a Postlburger is.
1.) "berger" comes from the word berg which means mountain. the word pöstl, comes from the word post which simply means post.
2.) actually firstly was only an explanation that doesnt really matter. I just think its funny that someone whose second name is Kirby, makes fun of someones name

Kirby got the Worlds then - on now talking the usual rubbish

Kirby:

''...Matthias Brandlé, or Brandle, depending on your choice''

I'm dead.

Well I am an Austrian, just imagine how I reacted to it
I just didnt want to write it because I didnt want to annoy anyone with the false spelling of Austrian names

It is, Eurosport have a deal for all RCS events which is why they now have Milan-Turin too as they took it on for 2015.

Re: Re:

If only I had such influence! My user name is quite literal.

Re:

I don't think there is live coverage at all, there's only one hour of highlights on Rai Sport as well (if Rai's early schedule is to be believed)

 

[argyllflyer]

The only Italian races Eurosport show are ones that RCS have.

Ok, enough is enough.

I suggest you use the “I think something is broken” option in the dropdown list?

No sure where he was but Ant McCrossan does much more women's cycling comms than Kirby and would have made a better job of it.
