Commentator sounds like my grandfather reading me a bedtime story when a was a wee lad. Always got me to sleep.

[@oslargotte7945]

These Highlights are gold! For hyperventilating excitement I could always watch it live, but this is the real deal. The landscapes, little jokes, everything of importance. I love that pictures and words don't repeat but rather complement each others information value.

[@richcrompton6891]

I love the commentator! He pitches it perfectly. We know he is delivering his wry summary of the stage after the event and that is how it should’ve done. No need for over dramatic delivery, just measured information and observations like a friend would recount down the pub... when we could go there!

[@tungstenkid2271]

What's a pub? i seem to vaguely remember something like that here in england long ago...

[@richcrompton6891]

@@tungstenkid2271 still got them here in Herefordshire. Things not looking great though!

[@srolchi]

Commentator doesn't seem that much excited about the stage :D

sounds like it was recorded in a library

[@srbmckenzie]

It's a flat, sprint stage... what's to be excited about??

Nice commenting, liked the pancake and fortified wall jokes :)

Bennett getting a bit cocky?

[@f3rg.k30]

Hardly cocky defending the wheel of your whole team train. I've seen worse in kids races.

3:09 WOW

[@tungstenkid2271]

Did I hear a while back that Froome was in the Vuelta? Where is he, I haven't seen or heard any mention of him so far!

[@ogulcankoksal3628]

You can see him pulling the peloton, he is domestic for Carapaz in this Vuelta

@@ogulcankoksal3628 Thanks, so it appears Froome knows he hasn't fully recovered from when that wall jumped out at him..:)

The tour or the vuelta?

If bora was working till the end to help Sagan like in this case to help Ackermann then he'd score twice the wins he does without them

So he would have two wins this season? Very impressive...

[@FizZovic]

@@7081_H :) meaning overall.. But yeah, maybe 3 this season. He has done a lot already :D doesn't have to prove anything i guess

[@7081_H]

@@FizZovic That's true but I don't think he would have won much more. In his best days he didn't need much help when I look at Tirreno 2018, when he was far behind the peloton with 7k to go ans almost won.

[@AIKIA2.0]

Hey guys I got a question how much time does it take you to complete a 40km/26miles ride (asking this because I have no idea where I rank also I just have a 16kg bike and I can do the ride in 105 minutes (PB) please if you share your

[@eoinsmith1996]

Before people form opinions on the Bennett incident, from watching this piece of evidence, I urge you to watch Chris Horner's analysis. Liepens did to Morkov what Bennett did to Liepens. IMO opinion, neither should be penalized but you cannot hold this double standard

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

Stage 9 - Carlton lost his mind over some monasteries and then a sprint happened that produced a winner and then it didn’t.

[@redlander55]

Very bad highlights, i would say; felt like rewinding a couple of times, like video and commentary were not properly synced. I realize that everything is fast and that the highlights need to be short, but still.

[@oslargotte7945]

You mean when you once had to keep in mind a picture for three seconds? Oh no, you had to rewind. This is hard.

[@redlander55]

@@oslargotte7945 The commentary was to slow or too fast several times. I don't think this is normal/ok. It's not ok to struggle to keep in mind a previous image and still follow a new highlight. The highlights were better for other races, even other stages of this race I would say.

[@iminc5498]

You guys need to up your game with these highlights..... where even is the Bennett incident causing him to get relegated?

[@liamkramer]

3:08

[@jubeman]

The commentator lulled us into a state of numbness so very easy to miss that 2 second quiet reference.

[@iminc5498]

@@liamkramer Really? He got relegated for that???

[@fenf777]

So why with sam bennet?

[@mochno1]

DSQ right there. Close to cause huge crash. At the same time - WTF and give me a break here - where we are? From when you are going to other teams train? Where is respect and cycling "rules".

[@PRH123]

Mr soft spoken commentator should be better doing flower arranging competitions or meditation videos... are they trying to make the race look boring....?

[@jackdripper5675]

Nonsense, his Eurosports live race commentary is often critized for being over excited...

Just Bennett is pushing

Ackermann is nowhere near the level of Bennett haha. Are you forgetting Ackermann causing a pile up in a sprint finish not so long ago? So your bester man is also a cheater

[@timo5798]

To the native speakers, what does he mean with "keep your shoulders to yourself"?

[@timw8926]

I imagine Bennett's shoulder push you can see it from 3:08 in the middle of the video.

[@jubeman]

Literally means don't move your shoulders onto someone else or into someone else's space

[@matthewsully4565]

These highlights are terrible. You did not even show the Bennett incident. The commentatot needs some coffee or red bull ... so low energy. Not good at All.

[@timw8926]

Isn't it the part at 3:08? I agree you cant see it perfectly but still its in there?

[@munsterfloyd]

Would like to have seen what Bennett did wrong.

Maybe they hired a literature professor for the commenting, no interest in the sports but full of word plays.

[@dom4034]

It's Carlton Kirby, listen to him during the live race. He's great, so much passion when it's happening.

[@of8040]

Can’t agree withBennets relegation

[@of8040]

@Duke of Istria everyone entitled to their own opinion but I believe he was stopping the trek rider from taking the wheel

[@jackhinson4743]

Agreed, very harsh

[@okimy3668]

@@of8040 Yes, but these shoulder bumps sent him over half of the road. Clearly excessive imo, I think it was the right call. The UCI were criticized for not being harsh enough with penalizing in sprints, so setting a precedent is important. I think they should keep it up like this. Bumping is understandable, but these were too hard. And before anyone here says something like "back in my day sprinters were still sprinters and they beat each other with frame pumps to get the win so riders today should stop being so whimpy", they are racing bicycles with barely any protective gear at over 55 kph. There is no need to add any more risk than there already is. Crashes at that speed can be life threatening and we don't want riders getting injured severely.

[@of8040]

@@okimy3668 fair enough we will agree to disagree 🤝 Personally didn’t think it was extremely dangerous but you are entitled to your own opinion

[@okimy3668]

@@of8040 Yeah, this one was definitely just on the edge, I doubt it was an easy decision for the comissaires. I can see your point, but as you said, we'll agree to disagree.
