    The footage of Muhlberger taking himself out is amazing, he's going to watch that and think "what the **** was I doing?"

  • WvA starting his cyclocross season a bit early there.
    At least he tasted grass not tarmac.
    His own fault as he was first on the floor.

    Not a good time for Kwia to be trying to get back on.

    I've tried posting the twitter of Muhlberger's self take-down - turns out I have no idea how to do that but it's worth watching. It's the kind of thing he'll watch this evening and think "what the **** was I doing?".

    Looked like a remake of the infamous Grand National with riders trying to restart while the tape was half up
  • And that the entire peloton would get themselves DQF'd.

    Rain
  • Definitely should be a couple of DQFs for those two riders going off course up the climb.
    We have some rain!

    Rather enjoying Dan and Adam. Like having 2 mates commentating.

    Can imaging it's causing some Boomers to froth with rage however...
    We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

    It's so calm though. I was doing a bit of DIY earlier when Carlton came back on and had to pop my head back into the room thinking something interesting had happened but there was nothing at all.

    I assume this is more like the Belgian or Danish commentary Rick and No ta doctor bang on about, ex-riders understanding the race and knowing the riders being able to call tactics. Blythe isn't a fan of Sep.

    Just how he spends more time in a break trying to avoid doing a turn and that it doesn't help him in the long run.

    Sporza never ever get hysterical.
    Their commentary is as cool and calm as a Bjorn Borg backhand.

    Unfortunately, we will be getting the screaming banshee back for the best part of this Ronde.
