Now to maintain this peak form till the start of the Tour de France and they can take a well deserved break.

Harmon went bonkers at the end. Pure amazing

Wow that was awesome. I love it how desperately he wants Keisse to win... and rightly so because this was an epic win.
Love it how it how the drama and tension really dragged Kirby over the edge hehe.

 

[SafeBet]

Wow that was epic.

I do like Harmon, he annoys me sometimes with his biased ways, but you can tell he genuinely loves the sport, great stuff there.

I still remember his effort on the WW memorial stage at the giro, he did a phenomenal job that day also.

Anyway bos was quick today, nice for him.

It was Carlton Kirby - Dave Harmon on duty at Romandie this week.

I refute that, Kelly is the best of the lot on ES

The thing with Kirby is he is not a cycling fan. He is just a guy they bring in to call things they don't have other commentators for, in any sport.

He thinks J Rod won Flanders for example.

As such listening him get excited about our sport is like watching a cycling fan being made, live.

 

[The Hitch]

Who was that guy commentating with Brian Smith at T-A earlier in the season?

He had a very good knowledge of the sport.

Why can`t Eurosport get him back for the races that Harmon does`nt do?

Cant remember the name but he is in his 20's so I assume they have more of a long term plan for him and let him come in a bit over the years.

Harmon, that was gold. Great commentary!

Once again, not Harmon

 

[Havetts]

Wait what...?

 

[Havetts]

Whoever it was D), that was gold !

 

[DominicDecoco]

Who cares who it is. That was some absolutely fantastic commentary.

About the commentators on Eurosport. I've listened to a fair bit of Eurosport cycling coverage this year and I can assure you that they are more knowledgable, less biased and narrow-minded and less annoying than any commentator on Dutch national TV. It might not be perfect, but it could be worse and I would say Eurosport is doing a fantastic job of bringing cycling to non-cycling nations in a decent way.

Definitely. Thank **** for Eurosport is french. Otherwise we would probably be fed up with Lacrosse or racing cars.

 

[greenedge]

Congrats to Ivailo for GC and Bos.

I don't agree, that guy Kirby gets on my nerves just as much as Herbert Dijkstra. Their commentary is more about (over)enthusiasm than knowledge.

 

[El Pistolero]

Everything is better than Smeets. He sounds twice as arrogant as Wuyts.

 

[Havetts]

Yes, but deMart is a monument, I do like Ducrot, dislike Dijkstra but I still prefer listening to the commentators on Sporza

What is the next team of Gabrovskri?

Saxo, Ag2r or BMC?

I heard BMC likes to pick up talent early on, so they can grow...
