Tour De France Eurosport Commentary

[line71]

Looks like the excellent Rob Hatchs informed intelligent commentary has been overlooked in favour of Carlton Kirbys mindless stupidity
Yes,thats 3 weeks of Carlton Kirbys raving luncay

ITV is fine until Liggett and Sherwen come on.

Are they going to start racing at any point or is it a ride round the streets of Yorkshire behind a car?

 

[JasonHolder]

Omg I'm so excited!!!!! Eek

 

[JasonHolder]

Yorkshire looks beautiful this morning! Pleasantly surprised

I heard Millar commentating for a race last year and he did an excellent job with lots of insider info.

"They've not even had to put barriers up, they're just trusting the crowd", said as the camera just pans past a long line of barriers.

As an Englishman abroad, I'm amazed and impressed at the huge numbers of people lining the streets in the towns and out in the countryside.

And the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside is outstanding.

I hope Essex (my home county) can compete during the 3rd stage.

Very excited myself about the tour. Except for that joke of a start having to ride then stop and meet and greet, then go through the ribbon and it still hadn't officially started.
Wtf have the royal family got to do with the TDF?
All is good now though, they have started.

Carlton is a legend. Not the same when he's not commentating.

He's actually a LOT better when he's NOT commentating.

And then Eurosport go straight into Lemond again after the race, one disaster after another. I'll be watching ITV4 this tour.

I started off with ITV, had to switch over as soon as Ligget and Sherwin came on, but had to switch back as soon as Lemond and Bernabino came on. Nice to see Jill Douglas getting a role.
