Eurosport commentary

[Nimi]

I've tried over the years to watch with the English and German commentary but I find the best feature of of the Eurosport coverage is that you can turn off commentary and just have ambient sound. That way you don't have to listen to any of these annoying and often over excitable people. That said, the only one I can stand to listen to is McEwan when he isn't being drawn into the nonsense and Dan Lloyd (was a real shame to see him go). I only left the commentary on if Lloyd was there, but as he's gone its ambient sound or muted on the rare occasion that isn't an option for whatever reason.

There was a bit of a "stating the obvious" moment during the B Road Races in Zürich the other day.

"These guys very often can't see."

That's what we'd describe as an Alan Partridge or Colemanballs moment.

I know they don't cover para cycling that often but still that's just wow.

The tandem bikes should definitely have given it away.

Just to be clear, I think he knew, but for some reason thought he needed to explain things.

I really like Joanna Rowsell as the lead commontator for Eurosport for the Woman's RR. She's very calm, smooth and knowledgeable.

Except, she is awful at rider identification. When Marty returned to lead commentary, BANG we knew the riders in the leading group.

"What's left to say about Tadej Pogacar...."

"I'm lost for words"

This is basically what we have been served by the commentary team for hours and hours this season. Guys, if you are "lost for words about TP" - comment on the race instead!

We don't need commentary to sing endless praises of TP for hours and hours every single time. We know he is really good. Comment on what is not known about the race (like the race for 2nd or whatever). That's your job!
