To be fair they did screw up the last 2 mins of footage, they were showing blank roads instead of the main group so we only saw them come over the line.
When has any CK hater been fair to the legend?
Unless you're Aru's mom, no one sould be offended by Kirby's comments about his smile. Granted, it wasn't a kind thing to say, but anyone who is shockingly offended should direct their ire toward photographers and editors for choosing to publish ugly photos of his gaping mouth. I think we can all agree that it's not pretty. Guy looks like a great white shark; only difference is his eyeballs aren't rolling back into his head.
CK is referring to photos we have already seen.
That does not make him a bad person, nor does it make Aru an ugly guy. He's quite handsome, actually. I'd be surprised if Kirby disagreed.
A wise person mentioned something a while back in this thread about seeing what you want to see. I agree. There are a lot of folks here who are chomping at the bit to pick apart everything the guy says.
The only part of today's stage that I watched was at the end, when everyone was pulling away and the cameras were focused on Contador. For some reason there wasn't an audio feed, so I watched the last bit without any commentary.
I knew CK would mention something about the fact that the action was taking place elsewhere, and I knew someone here would jump all over his comment and interpret it in a negative way.
It was blatantly obvious that Contador was getting dropped. Everyone knew what was going on, including Contador, who had cameras staring in his face when the race was elsewhere.
Seriously, the raging hostility toward my man Carlton Kirby is beyond silly.
