Are the conditions changing wildly? Some intermediates don't make much sense.

Largely back and forth TT no? So I think the headwind on the first part has dropped.

Windy basically says the wind gets much better for the late starters but it's all in the rain.

Kirby: "The problems between Valter and Benoot during Strade Bianche must have been due to the typical Dutch directness"

If we as humanity cannot come together to trebuchet Kirby away from any microphone possible then I have no hope of dealing with any more existential problem.

I gotta admit sometimes I choose him over the Italian commentators, which should tell you how bad they are.

I like Italian commentators

I guess that only reveals I don't speak Italian.

 

[Netserk]

The Dutch are the master race. Any racism directed against them stems from inferiority.

You probably forgot /s just in case someone takes offense.

I'm going to be watching T-A over P-N which should tell you how bad Rob Hatch and Adam Blythe are.

 

[DNP-Old]

Go Magnus.

Those guys come across as a bit pompous while Kirby is just fun to listen to. Especially during the first 3 hours of a stage I’d go for Kirby any day.

I have started to switch to the French sports commentary a lot. I usually find them quite acceptable, very likely due to my French being far from fluent.

 

[Lui98]

Very good performance from Syritsa, I expect good results from him in the future in time trials, and he seems to have transitioned very well from the track to the road.

 

[BR2]

What happened to van Aert? Not interested, bad conditions?

 

[Lui98]

What happened to van Aert? Not interested, bad conditions?

A bit of both. He said that he didn't want to take too many risks because of the conditions

 

[Potomac]

Wow, way to go Magnus

 

[Faserr]

Wow, way to go Magnus

This will be hard to beat. Don't think Ganna can go faster.

 

[Faserr]

Wow Hindley.

 

[Red Rick]

Really good effort by Hindley

 

[Potomac]

Hindley...He has bright future

 

[Red Rick]

I think while the rain is completely pouring right now the wind has gotten a lot better.

 

[Izzyeviel]

this course appears to be a paperclip.

 

[Faserr]

I think while the rain is completely pouring right now the wind has gotten a lot better.

Yes.

Nah, one of the two being a total loundmouth after the race and talking how much stronger than the other he was and how the other would have sacrificed his chances, that would fall under Dutch directness, if one of them was actually Dutch.
