WT - Amstel Gold Race - Sunday 14 April 2013

[hiero2]

Instead of pictures of the finsh we get superslomos now

I will be GLAD when the camera boys get tired of their new slomo toy. A little overused today, eh?

 

[Random Direction]

Seems like the base feed is having a problem and the backup plan involves slo-mo pictures up hills, down hills, and noses.

 

[gthx_gthx_]

The profile image is awful, without distance labels. Does somebody have the link to a more readable profile, please?

Weird but useful

 

[Netserk]

Keutenberg next!

Technical problems, they have difficulties with the signal. It's the equivalent of finish pictures basically.

Doesn't mean it's excusable though. Weather couldn't be better, still NOS fails. Worst television company in the world, except for the North Korean one.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Funny. 25 years in Britan I think I kinda got what SkySports is.

No, I believe you. Really, I do.

Enjoy FoxSports. Commentary should by up to your intelligence.

I prefer to watch BBC myself. But you probably don't know what that is either.

You will only see it during dutch coverage I bet, they also did it during the OS last year. Probably bought the cameras with the OS money.

 

[DominicDecoco]

I have always 'hated' this race.

After today.. I still do.

 

[Netserk]

So. Bad. Coverage.

 

[Afrank]

Weening passing what's left of the break. Nordhaug in a chasing group, that's good to see.

 

[Parrulo]

blanco attack!!!!

 

[Netserk]

Blanco attacks! Grivko and Nordhaug + another blanco

 

[roundabout]

Nordhaug sighted

 

[jaylew]

It seems that Voeckler has a fractured clavicle.

Hope that's true. A broken collarbone is much better than the broken leg we were hearing.

 

[Captain Serious]

Why, oh, why does Matthew Keenan think that commentating on a cycle race means trying to make each sentence a one liner? Awful.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan, either. I know cycling is one of the toughest sports to commentate on, but still.

It bugs me when he tries to do the faux Euro accents. AAAgh!

He tries to be too formal; almost as if he's giving a speech or delivering a eulogy

 

[Ferminal]

Very hard racing, Tanner attacks with 220km gone.

 

[Netserk]

So Tanner, Nordhaug and Grivko.

 

[Descender]

Very hard racing, Tanner attacks with 220km gone.

And attacking.

Yep, grand for the Tour.

 

[hiero2]

Hope that's true. A broken collarbone is much better than the broken leg we were hearing.

Yes. Tommy has been one of my favorite characters for years. I think an injury this year might see him go for retirement.

 

[Ferminal]

Weening really needs a gurn to go with the awesome cadence.

 

[trevim]

Is Andy still in the race?

 

[iZnoGouD]

Is Costa still there?

 

[Afrank]

Is Andy still in the race?

No.
