Eurosport commentary

[Potomac]

Voigt getting way too much air time.
If I'm not watching live, I fast forward through his bits.
Maybe he was good previously. But now he pulls the broadcast down.

 

[Potomac]

Blyth calling Hugh Carthy "Huge" Carthy.

Blyth calling Hugh Carthy "Huge" Carthy.

Better than Brian Holm who always says "Shoe Cardie".

Blyth was making a joke....

He said he just saw why Hugh Carthy's nickname in the peloton is "Huge" and he will leave it to the other commentators to explain.

Because he's tall right?...right?

I thought he was referring to something else.

Blythe on the motorbike it's a good place for him to be imho. Suits the role well.

Yep. And the studio show was much improved and less bantery and 'laddish'.

yeah i just hate how they have to go split screen with the camera facing him. i dont know why they think we need to see the guy on the motorbike talking, 99% of the time you cant see anything interesting going on in the race from that camera.

that said, voigt and mcewen on the same commentary team is like god is trolling me

I know this isn't quite commentating, but does anyone know how to figure out why GCN won't let you log back in after it randomly throws you off?

Whatever happens tomorrow it's hard to imagine a worse GC in a Giro since Hesjedal isn't it

Apparently it was just a snafuffle, and the worst possible moment, now I'm back in...

 

[lemon cheese cake]

It does it to me to, but so far not in crucial spots.

Also I don't think snafuffle is a real word, but I really like it and might steal it!

 

[Monte Serra]

Good that Adam Blythe was basically forced to admit on-screen that he is an unrepentant Ineos fanboy. But he did get a fine interview out of Thomas, so that's something.

 

[Potomac]

I was so fed up with these commentators talking about Swifty and G blah blah blythe spiritless.

They forget the show is sold as an international broadcast and not some soppy british love-in.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

They just praised the Vittoriano. Fire all of them.

 

[fmk_RoI]

The place with the fugly Vive mosaic? Ick.

Almost certainly.

Most of the time tennis leaves me largely indifferent, but then ES dedicates both of its channels exclusively to French Open... They are doing a damn fine job in turning be into tennis hater every time a Grand Slam rolls around. Luckily US and Australian Open take place in different time zones, so most of the games happen during the night time and don't suffocate every other sport out in a way it's happening now.

Dauphine isn't a Grand Tour, but is still more than important enough to warrant an hour or so of coverage in between what is an obscene overload of tennis. Let alone in a broadcaster priding itself on being a home of cycling.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Did I really hear Kirby refer to the channel he works for as GSN in the last 2 km of Dauphine stage 1????

Given Cartoon Kirkby is on comms I'm thankful for small mercies.

I was too busy choking to death on Kirby's "we might have expected more... from Brent Van Moer" pun to notice.
