that was excellent thanks.
nice couple of cameos from number 44, our new hero Taco.
also loved the massive family portrait looming behind the commentator that was working from home. -
I read that about the women's race having more viewers but it was misleading reporting i think. they showed 3 hours of the men's race and only 1 hour of the women's. the stat they reported was average over the duration. not many would have watched the full 3 hours.
they also reported the number of people that had watched each race at all and there were loads more for the men's.
suggests to me that they should have shown more of the women's race and less of the men's. (ie. more than 1 hour for women and less than 3 hours for men.) It might have been tricky since it was all on a circuit in this case though.

i've just finished reading a long article about this on cycling tips: https://cyclingtips.com/2021/04/making-sense-of-the-controversial-photo-finish-at-amstel-gold/
the tldr version is that the result is correct.
i didn't know that the image is a composite made from when each rider crossed the line rather than a snapshot at a point in time.

wow, my apologies to mr brian smith.
he said in commentary that he had spoken with Brian Holm about JV and I wondered if he'd got some inside tips on pronunciation from there but I underestimated him and just assumed it was a paisley thing. -
you need a new category for brian smith. he kept saying "vingegal" yesterday

Anyone got a link to the Ronde 104 behind the scenes with english subtitles? I could only find a flemish version on the sporza website.

£21 per race for adultsedit: actually it's only race 1 that's up so maybe the later races might be cheaper once you have paid for a number
it reminded me of those poor Vietnamese people in Essex :(
it was also one of the lowest kwalitie adverts I've ever seen but for some reason I felt compelled to watch it four times
