Commentary on TNT and other WB brands

[Potomac]

Does anyone know into which countries the Tour de France’s official world feed, broadcasts into I believe 19 countries pick up this English feed ...UK is not one so will need to use a VPN if I want to listen to it Wales and Ireland have native language comms South Africa maybe one but does anyone else know any other countries who would broadcast this feed Australia and US have their own comms teams on their networks but maybe other channels there ? How about Asia ?? This is like the best kept secret in cycling ...why is it so hard to find out ???? I suppose the rights ES?GCN/NBC pay ASO means they cant tell the ordinary folks Aso earn millions just on TV rights

The official has link labeled "Broadcasters" on the main menu. Is that what you are looking for?

Matt Keenan is the lead ASO commentator for the English Feed.

I think S4C in the uk (wales) might.

Kirby's new favourite french rider appears to be Thibault Guernalec.

 

[PlanZ]

Kelly is brilliant. He's the only one of british eurosport I can tolerate.

I usually watch swedish Eurosport though. Roberto Vacchi is an excellent commentator, one of the best around.

Yet for me Kelly is the only commentator I cannot abide.

Does anyone know if Durosport are doing the commentary and pre/post shows onsite?

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

He probably asked Jose Been and Rob Hatch how to pronounce it and is all pleased with himself.
I hate to think how Horner would deal it.

No, British Eurosport/GCN will studio based, although Orla Chennaoui did say in recent interview that they will be in Paris for final stage.

That's a shame.

Kelly's long silences combined with Kirby's motormouth tendencies always made for an amusing duet...........

Putting aside the good/bad pundits and commentators discussions for a moment, I find their current rider interviews somewhat underwhelming.
Whilst appreciating that covid has restricted opportunities and riders can only be interviewed if available, the current guy used does not seem able to bring out that little extra. His questions are often repetitive and confusing.
Contrast with others like Daniel Friebe who is much more probing, or Laura Meseguer who creates the more intimate situation, even getting Cavendish on her side.
Personally I would give the mic to Wiggins.

Is it the French guy whose English is borderline unintelligible?

Please don't give Wiggins the mic!

 

[staubsauger]

Wiggins doesn't add a single valuable word to their coverage.

must be, from Velopro, they are doing interviews for basically all Eurosport races now.

The good thing about it is that all interviews are immediately available on their Youtube channel, so you can watch them before the race (someone should tell the commentators, though - translations should be much better, given that opportunity) and that they are able to do their live ticker from the road, which is always the best one online. But yes, he is very hard to understand, I don't like his way to ask questions (often answering it himself), and the answers consequently are often bad as well - unless it's a very talkative rider.

Yes that's the guy, a number of riders seem to struggle to understand him.

Many thanks for expressing it in a much more eloquently than myself.

Urgh, Blythe.

Does anyone know who Mitch Docker is working for during the Tour? I enjoy him in those Cycling Tips vids on YouTube and he said he is on the way to Copenhagen.

That's interesting - I suppose it's hard to be an ASO commentator if you do not travel to races - I am happy with this decision.

Hopefully cyclingtips.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Hopefully cyclingtips.

He used to do sone stuff for GCN while he was still in the peleton and I was hoping they’d get him to do more after he retired. I guess he’s just not as big a name as Adam Blythe.
