    I really enjoyed Nathan as guest commentator. He's very knowledgeable of current peloton dynamics being as he was just racing last year. I really did enjoy his take on the race and his easy discussions with the other commentators. I really hope he comes back for other races and I'm so glad he is still with Visma even if it's not on a bike.

    Great update, thank you! Loved Nathan's commentary earlier in the season and I hope he is back in the commentary box again soon, although you will always be my fave, Rob ; )

    It seems like a few strange things have happened with Visma recently. I’m not a doctor but a guy in his 20’s having a heart attack is strange to me. Especially someone in top shape. The team lost a sponsor after having the best year imaginable. That seems odd. And one of the best riders in the world decided to leave the team in their best ever season. Then one of their directors quit this year. It all seems odd.

      For all your questions is an answer; heartproblems is protocol. Sponsor is lost due to the person from jumbo supermarkets who used money for sportsmarketing is in jail. Primoz left because he wants to be leader in the tdf, he can’t with vingegaard on the team. Zeeman leaving isn’t anything new to the dutch audience, zeeman openly flirted with teams, he is now going to be director at the club from the town he was born in. Cheers mate 😊
