Another Norwegian crazy commentaries video.
Of course there's also Paulo Martins, the whole reason why I prefer internet streams to the TV. When he doesn't know something, he'll never admit it. He'll always lie about it, make something up
- Paulinho isn't with the main group anymore because he he worked extremely hard for his team leaders before the TV feed began, and got dropped because he was exhausted of course. In fact I just talked to him on the phone this morning and he said that X and Y an Z and (...) [Paulinho wasn't at that race, the 2006 Vattenfall Cyclassics]
- He's riding at a good pace. You can see he's not in a deficit of difficulty [someone should tell him what deficit means]
- A very extremely highly pace
- It's a climb that is far too hard for any sport. Or for cycling, in this case
- This man might come close to Di Luca, if Di Luca can't do a time like the one this man just did
- Especially the second stage, which is right after the first one
- Simoni is the most experienced. He's the one with the most "maturism"
- [after some guy attacks] And everyone counters! [camera pans to show everyone slowing down to a crawl waiting for someone to take up the chase]
- [camera shows Moerenhout in his dutch champion jersey] Here's Rabobank's belgian champion
- Thor Hushovd is becoming a specialist in short prologues [as opposed to 50km prologues, maybe?]
- It's not just the 3rd place that's at stake...there's also the fight for the 3rd place on the podium!
- Very huge
- [The graphic on the TV shows the best placed Dutchman in each previous edition of the Amstel. Rölf Sorensen is shown for 1993. He refers to him as] The flying dutchman Ricky Sörensen
- [Brandt attacks. is brought back. Then his teammate Aerts attacks. Brought back. Then their teammate Lloyd attacks. is brought back. Every single time, he says "there goes van summeren again". Then Van Summeren Attacks] There he goes again! Unending energy! What a fabulous rider.
- There's australian champion Peffaberga [That would be austrian champion Pfannberger]
- [In the same race as the two above, LBL 2008] That's austrian champion Matteo Floyd
- [Frank Schleck and Karsten Kroon both get in the same move] There's the two schlecks, they're like carbon copies of each other, it's very hard to tell them apart
[I remind you that
A. it's actually F. Schleck and K.Kroon and
B. even if it were the two schlecks, one has dark hair and the other is blond;
After about 10 minutes he finally relents and admits it's not the two schlecks. Then tries to say he was right all along because] It's not the same schleck as before!This one's a little bit different.
- Kirchen won with clarity [I think he meant "won clearly"
- The first time he won that win
- There's a response by two CSC riders: Cunego and Evans
- Kim Kirchen has been very disappointing today [Kirchen is right there at the front in the winning move]
- Plus the ten trillion mispronounced words (I'm talking words as common as the word for "water"...which is one of the ones he can't pronounce)
- Plus switching the syllables of EVERY foreign non-spanish name
And my favorite of all time:
Landis is away on his "epic" comeback stage win in 2006. He goes over the Joux-Plane and starts descending to the finish. Sastre's 5 minutes behind. The genius commentator chimes in:
Of course, he's already descending while the others are still going up the climb, so of course he gets to go faster, so of course the time gap is "false", it's much bigger than what the REAL gap is. When the chasers start descending the gap will of course become much smaller. That's when we'll know what the real time is.
The co-commentator starts explaining to him how moronic that is and why exactly the gap is the gap and whether one is descending or ascending has nothing to do with it.
He's having none of it. He continues to insist that he's right.
In the end they never convinced him.

the part about the downhill yeah, the distance in meters maybe gets bigger at that moment, but the time difference won't, why doesn't he understand that
The worst part is that he's a former pro......a horribly bad one, but still...

In Norway we got Christian Paasche, who have learned everything by the expert, Johan Kaggestad. Johan is Mads Kaggestads father, and former boss in NIKE. Sometimes, Mads is replacing his father. At the GW-clip, it was Paasche and Mads. Paasche is the screaming one.
