Tour De France Eurosport Commentary

[themosquitoking]

i try to watch eurosport for the race commentary and ITV for the apres race - Boulting and Boardman do a great double act and the analysis is very good.

as @Marmion said, no idea why they stick with Statler and Waldorf for the race.

The bits they did on the rest day about what life is like for a pro rider was well worth a watch. I chortled a few times.

worth watching on the itv website for the Boulting Boardman double act.

Never thought of that, I'll give it a look

That was an excellent programme; I'd love it if there was a regular pro cycling "magazine" programme like that all the time throughout the cycling season; behind the scenes stuff, interviews, history - Boulting, Boardman and Imlach are a great team. The David Millar interview was excellent.

the cycle show on ITV4 on tuesdays is quite good. a lot better than it was last year.

I've not watched it this year, I'm not really into "other stuff" as far as cycling goes - commuting, MTB and all that other nonsense isn't really my thang. I'm an intolerant nobber.

Same here, all that trendy London stuff is a complete turn off in my book. In last week's edition they had what could have been an interesting piece on the recent Derbyshire Eroica but it was ruined by an on trend presenter and millisecond frequency camera cutting. You could hardly see the bikes at all.

Liggett (again): "...and it must still be cold up in the high alps because there's no sign of those glaciers melting yet..."

(later) "...and those glaciers stay there virtually all year round..."

I watched the first 3 stages on ITV and that was enough!

I'd rather be told for the nth time that Sagan likes to burn out his team and does not need a lead-out train, than hear another "Well, Phil ..." or "Well, Paul ..."

The only reason i like the itv coverage is because i have to record the highlights and watch later on, with eurosport your liable to get tennis , cricket, golf, motorsport etc etc even when you have the recorder set right .............

They do make a good comic duo
Richie Froome was pure genius

Just heard on Talksport that Britons Geraint Thomas and Simon Clancy are in today's breakaway.

i liked the fact they had to stop cycling as they were giggling too much over that.

Or they were just tired!

Ned has been in training, I'd say .... he can do it without the electric-bike aid now!

I do quite enjoy the double act. Dead pan Boulting on a turbo trainer with Boardman soaking him with a hose.
