@@TheJoePavlik all of the flag men were off to the left of the turn and the barrier line was a piece of tape with flags on it about two meters in the air. I don't think I've seen a major turn so poorly marked in an amateur race before.
@@sismikkk No, you can do a highlights video and not give away who the winner is less than 2min into a 6min video... literally all other highlight commentators understand this concept.
I’m big fan of football and ice hockey as well as cycling and in those sports the highlight packages on UA-cam have the live commentary and you feel the game more and it makes more of a spectacle for those who can’t always watch a game or a race live, good commentary makes sporting moments so much better like when mvdp won amstel gold race or cav on the champs elysees. What frustrates me with these highlights is the commentary doesn’t get me on the edge of my seat and quite often they either spoil or imply what is going to happen within the first few minutes
This commentator drives me nuts... why are you saying at 1min40sec into a 5min50sec highlight video who won the stage!? Just because we're watching the highlights and not the full live stream doesn't mean we don't want the suspense of who inevitably wins... GCN, this guy is not your finest presenter.
AGREED !!! .. the more I listen to this guy the more I dislike his commentary .. I’ve Hosted Events for 30+ years .. a lot of them cycling events .. give me a crack! .. (I’ve also been a cyclist for all of that time .. and owned a cycling team for a few years)
GCN, you no longer spoil the result in the title, thank you, but NOW you spoil it a minute into a 5 minute video? What the hell? The Paris-Nice highlights are great and yet these are horrible. I don't understand how this is possible
funny thing is that he sees comments like these, gets upset being a really young boy, acts like an idiot because he feels extreme public-eye pressure, gets more of these comments, acts out more etc etc. We're kind of digging him a ditch here, same with famous young people in general.
It's pretty easy to miss a turn on a 100 mile course when the Wrong Way is the MAIN road, the block-off ribbon has been raised up, and the car in front goes straight instead of staying on course. Oxygen debt might contribute, although I don't really know if their IQ's are any less than the average racer....
Baguil is such a great climber. So glad he got one finally after such a lull.
First-ever spoiler by the commentator himself.
All so he can get his stupid puns in. So annoying
@@AnTeallach2011 Dad status.
@@AnTeallach2011 I like him... his pace and his tone, but this one was a bit over the top
It's a shame that the organization didn't signalize properly that corner. This is not an amateurs race, come on.
If you rewatch the video there are three officials pointing the direction to go with neon and orange signs in addition to the direction the moto goes.
@@TheJoePavlik all of the flag men were off to the left of the turn and the barrier line was a piece of tape with flags on it about two meters in the air. I don't think I've seen a major turn so poorly marked in an amateur race before.
It WAS a rather abrupt and unintuitive little side street. Probably needed to string those flaggers further back and apart.
@@TheJoePavlik Yeah, but they're off to the side of the road. Stand in the middle of the road and point.
Hopefully Barguil is up for it this year. Love to see him have a good one.
The turn where Remco continued straight was not well signalized, I think.
Na. He just ignored the signalling and waving from the two gents..
@@rkop737 wouldn’t pog and jonas not follow remco if it was signalized well?
@@kingcatibog2097 Mhm mate, they followed the first rider.
Pretty nasty turn. Maybe wasn’t quite expecting it
I’m personally not a fan of the post commentary on these highlights cause you get spoilers and the emotion in live commentary is much better
I think that’s the point where you need to get your wallet out and pay for the live feed 👍🏽
You're basically complaining that highlights are actually highlights

@@justridingalongthewatchtower absolutely. This guy does this sort of thing all the time, really annoying

Thanks for the overview, that turn where Remco, Pog and Jonas went straight on was very poorly signposted.
Of course will miss the turn if there’s no direction or signs or police signaling or anything
Ugh
so happy for Warren Barguil - congrats !
World Tour event and you can't even make it clear where to turn. Why leave that road so open? Clowns.

Totally agree. He's more interested in his stupid little puns than on actually commentating.

kirby has to go.. there is even a petition. Hate his daddy humor, and his dumb jokes
Couldn't agree more. And then on one of the other videos, the TITLE is a spoiler. These are highlights videos, not reminders.
@@AnTeallach2011 At one point, "a huge fillip to him". Really? A fillip? Bloody middle English in sports commentary?!
Why on earth give away the result halfway through the video ...?
WHY GCN DIDNT SELL THE APP FOR SOUTH AMERICA?! WE WANT PAY TO WATCH THE RACES IN LIVE
Pogacar is mechanic dope!
Vinegegaard is coming
Those gruelling stages in TDF... He will be the best
@@MightyBams tiny chance of beating Slovenians, but a chance
No other rider has a chance
GCN Thanks a lot
👀 you
I can't wait to the this year's TdF. It's going to be an epic fight between Pogacar and Vingegaard
pog and rog? dont play down roglič man, he will go all in this year, i am sure of that.
Vingegaard won't be the "first violin" for jumbo visma in this year's TDF... Unless roglic gets hurt again..
bom trabalho .
2:33 Soothing to know that it's not only my dumb amateur ass who takes wrong turns and gets lost while cycling 🙏
Ganto nmn sana coverage sa ronda pilipinas
It's well past time to put Carlton Kirby out to pasture - the old cow's unable to prattle on without ruining a 6 minute highlight reel now.
Music?
The narrator sounds like the guy from "Planet Earth"
GCN, you no longer spoil the result in the title, thank you, but NOW you spoil it a minute into a 5 minute video? What the hell? The Paris-Nice highlights are great and yet these are horrible. I don't understand how this is possible
I believe it´s a choice. They want you to buy their abo, so you can watch the race with no spoilers instead
@@danieletognozzi7641 I don't think so. I watched many of there highlight videos and they have never spoiled it midway through the video.
Big day for the French athletes 🇫🇷

Please stop spoiling the ending or I'll watch highlights elsewhere ...
Almost understood nothing of the commentary. Apologies for being blunt.
Che figura di m l'organizzazione
Steep creep.
"wrong-way Remco"
Remco Wrongwaynepoel
funny thing is that he sees comments like these, gets upset being a really young boy, acts like an idiot because he feels extreme public-eye pressure, gets more of these comments, acts out more etc etc. We're kind of digging him a ditch here, same with famous young people in general.
even if he goes the wrong way they can not distance Pog...:)
Lazy commentary- spoiled the end.
THEY MISSED THE CORNER WTF 😂😂😂😂😂😂
oh mr conceited wins haha at last
This announcer should be doing golf not cycling
it's a shame that evenepoel and pogacar have room temperature IQ and missed the turn. you are not amateurs any more, come on.
You win Dickhead of the day JB Muggins enjoy
