According to the OBS commentator, literally every starter so far is a "phenomenal" time trialist. :sleep:

This is one of the sports where I'm so happy we have our own regular commentators who commentate on the sport all year long :d

"Can Elisa Longo Borghini take this time trial today? She has 6 time trial victories, including 5 national championships." :roflmao:

 

Yap. Great pedigree.

Moolman-Pasio has five national titles as well, might be a red-hot favourite!

On the international feed.

 

In the case of Eurosport, it's available on every player stream that is not their TV feed.

Not so much the case in cycling because of a lack of a real world ranking, but in every single sport with some sort of a world ranking, they are entirely fixated on that in determining who are the favourites. Like, 100%.

 

With so many of them, you can just sense every single time that they're commentating on sports they really don't ever watch outside of the Olympics.

OBS hired/invited (whatever the correct term is) FIG commentator Olly Hogben. They have him commentating Football, Badminton, and Wrestling :mumble:

 

I don’t know if the commentators get to choose their sports, or if they’re assigned sports.
