I love Carlton Kirby when the stream put on some background music:
"I dont know how much they paid for this music, but it was probably too much."
"I dont know how much they paid for this music, but it was probably too much."
Is that enough? Thought you need 50-60, but I might be wrong
I find it amazing that I can switch between English, German, French, Swedish and Danish commentary for this race. All these people have to fill hours of absolutely nothing with talking. 
these guys make the giro TV crew look competent in comparison
Yikes Kirby and Smith were searching for anything to talk about untill about 5k to go. They couldn’t even tell if the solo was a Bardiani Rider.
It's a crying shame that this is South America's only professional (as in with WT teams) race. Between that and Quintana and Lopez' careers dead in the water, the sport really is not in a great place in this part of the world, or indeed the Americas in general.

How can a professional commentator mix up Jakobsen and Evenepoel several times?
How can a professional race have this bad coverage to allow this to happen in the first place!

There could be no coverage at all and I'd expect a commentator to know it's Jakobsen and not Evenepoel in a bunchsprint.
So 201 km in 4 hours and 22 minutes apparently means an average speed of 37 km/h. Is RedheadDane employed by the organisers?
Congrats to Jakobsen for taking stage 2. Today Evenepoel was used in an optimal way. First to put other sprinters in a bit of difficulty and soon after to move away rather early. For the rest of the sprint train to do its job. He not getting injured. And they did a good job. A strong sprint train. Bennett didn't have a real chance today. Roads were open and the bunch got reduced. Hence safety was less of an issue today. I guess we could say a boring stage race. But it depends. If you like sprinting you will for sure enjoy it. And then there is that stage GC guys will go all in. On top of that scenery and music of epic proportions. That is how likely Remco feels right now.
Anyway. I feel that both Jakobsen and Bennett could grab up to two more stage wins. Hence i hope the remaining stage will be won by somebody else. If i have to pick one i will cheer for Sagan.

Why the hyphen?
I think the UAE Tour is a much better watch than this. They actually do have graphics, they even have colours instead of the omnipresent greyness going on in the San Juan coverage, they have relatively safer finishes and then of course also more than one non-sprint stage.
One is an RCS race backed by filthy wealthy turbans, while the other is a race organized by your local San Juan butcher in the middle of nowhere. Of course production and infrastructure is a difference of night and day.
I did regret putting it in, but I don't like to edit my posts when it's been more than five minutes
