Vuelta a España Vuelta a España 2025, Stage 1: Reggia di Venaria – Novara (186.1k)

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Total face palm as peacock commentators Rob Roll and Christian Van de Velde think the famous roof top fiat track is a velodrome.

OK, just watching this post.
Dennis Ritter and Nicki Sørensen at Danish TV2 had also got it completely wrong here. Embarrassing.
Now watching VOD on Max, Danish commentary too. Firstly, Thomas Bay is much better prepared himself for the historical cultural elements compared to Ritter, of course also supported by Bastian Emil Goldschmidt , both very good at putting the right descriptive words on Lingotto here, besides overall very good at timing the whole cultural story out of Turin.
That's what you do when you have prepared your work. Of course helps considerably that they are both aficionados in Italian landmarks and culture, but this, and "the completely wrong Sørensen" was enough for me leaving the main ship and flee to Max. And as long as the riders stay in Italy, the Danish crew here is TV2 superior by a country mile.

Nicki Sørensen learned about the passing of Gianni Savio during today's broadcast. That was a pretty awkward moment.

I guess he doesn‘t use as sophisticated users as we do for cycling information

Congrats to Jasper Philipsen, took it easily. But other than Jasper doesn't look like the strongest sprinter field?
