Giro 2021. (with spoilers )

[Cathryn]

Caleb Ewan has abandoned! Well that’s the end of my time at the pointy end of the fantasy league!

 

[Mike_P]

Without Ewan to ride for hopefully a long range De Gendt victory to come on a sprint stage.

I only watch it on Quest. Do they have the most boring commentators ever seen on TV.

Debatable. He did have quite a bit of work for them: fingers strapped together, plus road rash or bleeding to clean up on forearm, elbow, shoulder, thigh, knee and calf! With that much skin lost, plus he didn't figure in the finish, who'd begrudge him a bit of freewheeling?

No. The first Vuelta shown on itv4 had a lone then-new Australian commentator talking to himself and mangling many rider names. That was worse.

Eurosport's English commentators are mixed. The summarisers (mostly ex pros like Kelly) divide opinion. Watching live, I enjoy the German commentary from Karsten Migels, Jean-Claude Leclercq and now also Jens Voigt

It's simply an edit of the Eurosport / GCN+ coverage.
