Whoever is announcing the Womens Burgos almost makes me long for Kirby. It's sleep inducing!

It is six.
No, it's just six days, because of course the Four Days of Dunkirk is six days... what did you expect? Four days? Don't be silly...
On Saturday, DDVGuess I’ll be looking forward to a one day classics race raced over 2 days.
Kirby was supposed to be joined by Brian Smith though he seems to have been double booked by something or other. For the record I am well aware 4 Jours... is a six day event! 🤣 I have been logging the commentators of every race since 2012 and that tediously means watching every broadcast stage in case there is a swapover somewhere - Tour of Turkey this year an example.
Appreciate the work you do. But still, it really bothers me about the name of the race when it hasn't been 4 stages for a long time. Just someone bloody call it "6 Days of Dunkirk".
It did, for a few years, nicely balance out the one day Driedaagse Brugge - De Panne.Appreciate the work you do. But still, it really bothers me about the name of the race when it hasn't been 4 stages for a long time. Just someone bloody call it "6 Days of Dunkirk".

Dunkirk name is from the Four days of the evacutation of Dunkirk during WWII. It doesn't refer to the number of race days.To be fair, De Panne was a bit quicker at changing the name than Dunkirk... that hasn't done it yet.

Pairing Blythe and Rowe is the worst idea in commentary history. They're OK on their own (I'm one of the few who don't really mind Blythe too much), but when together the banter reaches unbearable levels.I cannot help but be reminded of this Fast Show fella, C Hunt, when i have to watch/listen to A Blyth incessantly goofing & affectating like a top-bantz lad..

I don't know of where she was brought up but it almost seems like she was brought up in an area like wales and was brought up speaking Welsh with a thick original accent and she has trouble with regular standard English and when she starts her segments it like she has trouble to spit out the words in English at first which smooths out with a few other bouts as she spits out the English words later in her segments.Is she the producer's girlfriend?

Dunno just sounds like that to me.
