As soon as I say Rob Hatch is in Spain, he pops up in Bath:Yep Rob Hatch still dialling in from his Spanish isle as far as i know!
He’s mates with all of them.And after 'Lenny' Kamna, Kirby is now calling 'Riney' Janse van Rensburg.
But we have Wiggins on site for analysis which consisted of time trailing being the Race of Truth and that the guy who won the time trial is the strongest in the race and will win it.Call me old fashioned, but I prefer commentary on site at the venue; the analysis is fine from a studio. I understand under Covid times that remote commentary was needed, but not now.
The World feed commentary are on site, and a shame we can't select it.
Did you catch him on Ewan's crash the other day? "Caleb went down. It looked like he had a crash." This is the level of insight that drives subscriptions.But we have Wiggins on site for analysis which consisted of time trailing being the Race of Truth and that the guy who won the time trial is the strongest in the race and will win it.
Yesterday was a day made of Kirby. We could have found out all types of useless facts about Hungary and he would have had a bit of banter with Kelly. Hatch is poor on banter..it's all either semi-serious stuff or a bunch of shrieks,But at least the roadside fans get to see more of the race. Sideshow Rob says.
This is generally the problem with having them broadcast from England as they're not able to give little anecdotes about bumping into riders or team officials or tell us about a cool cafe, stunning scenery or whatever. There's so many boring days in GTs that you need a bit of colour.Sideshow Rob did his best on useless facts about Hungary but he needed more than just the road book and its three or four facts which he kept recycling (that Best Town Square of 2017 one was ace, even the seventh time he said it).
Things got so bad yesterday I actually switched over the Dunkerque, where Kirby and Smithy were droning on.
Like Wiggins?I do think they could do with a GT analyst, someone who challenged/ won a GT.
Horner but since he has slagged off every GCN analyst (including Kelly who reckoned vdl did a good lead out on stage 3) I can't see that happening.I do think they could do with a GT analyst, someone who challenged/ won a GT.
Well he's bumbling about at the starts and finishes giving information that doesn't really add to the viewing.Like Wiggins?
