27/04/2008 1.XPT1 Bel 21 Liège - Bastogne - Liège
-FALL IN GIRO (broken wrist I think)
-FALL IN TOUR (again broken wrist)
none of those results can be compared with a stage win in Le Tour or the polka dot jersey. Lets see what he can do in this Giro, I will tell you: nothing, 0.

The thing with Eurosport is that:
1. I get some rather good Danish commentators (bye, bye "Di Luca beats Cavendish in the sprint!!!".
2. I don't have to have to live with slow speeds while watching the Giro due to the American IP trick.
3. There's so much other sports that I can now watch
I dont think eurosport have danish commentators becuase i see it on eurosport on televison in Denmark, and the commentators are english.
Weird, because in Norway, on Eurosport Nordic, when the show the number for asking questions they also show a danish number, and i think they show dansih commentators when they introduce commentators from all mordic countries.

I would like to congratulate RAI Sport for putting the captions into english this year... there's the old saying "If you can't get the language right on tv, don't use it"
3 round to go instead of 3 Laps to go. (Heck they can even look at worlds coverage to get that)
Followers instead of Peloton.
But my favouite "Bunch Packed" WTF... i know what it means, i figured it out. But it makes no sense.
/End of language rant.
But otherwise the english was good, but i still prefer the Italian captions, just adds to the feel of the race. (And i'd say the same for the tour, vuelta any race really).

Yeah. I also noticed a guy on a Danish forum, saying that it's with Danish commentators.

Yeah right, 2nd behind Contador in Castilla y Leon, and in front of Dekker and Menchov is indeed shit.
Not to mention his win in Burgos where he owned Valverde. Or his 2nd place on the Faron behind Moncoutie.
Ofcourse, you could have known all this if you checked and clicked those results yourself, before simply only looking quickly at the races and commentating on that, not to admit you are wrong.
So predictable. Nitwit, that's what you are
where Dekker and Menchov in Castilla y Leon to win it? I doubt it. Contador was there to win it and he beat Soler.
Still those are preparation races for bigger ones. Did he shine in the big races? No.
No, he crashed in the bigger races. The Giro and the Tour were he goals, and he crashed there and broke his wrist.
So a bad argument to write him off. You still are making a fool out of yourself alex. Although you can always hope Soler falls before the first mountaintop finish on tuesday.

if you say so. Lets see what he will do in the mountains. I'm sure he won't crash again.
All hail the brilliant sprinter Mauricio Ardila, 15th in today's sprint
