GCN cyclocross commentators

[Armchair Cyclist]

I'm not sure what piece of light classical music I would have thought would make a suitable theme for cyclo-cross coverage, but I was certainly surprised to hear the coverage introduced by Vivaldi's Spring.

In November, how very fitting

How many weeks would lap 2 of Sunday's race have to have lasted before it occurred to the commentators that the reason for Orts nicking the bonus seconds at the end of the first lap from Vandeputte was to reduce the time NV gained on Nieuwenhuis in the overall?

Surely the job of commentators is to point out such motivations, not to keep expressing their bewilderment.

I'm not convinced that some of them actually watch the races. Time after time I'll see something happen in the corner of the screen like a crash or big bobble and the announcer will go on talking about whatever filler he was in the middle of, 3 minutes later he'll be wondering out loud why so and so has dropped off the pace.

Anyone else notice how often Marty MacDonald fails to complete a sentence. He starts then loses focus and and veers off on a totally different subject.

And yesterday he called Anne-Marie Worst Lucinda Brand as she retired from the race, I guess Marty was missing his very favourite rider!
