I don't read your posts Boris, they're just too long and too boring and too self-indulgent but seeing the section that Noodley has quoted has alerted me to the fact that you clearly know damn all about Sherwen and Liggett's history of slavering over Armstrong and denying his doping even when it was evident to all. Not to mention Liggett's attacks on USADA during the whole process and not to mention the fact that Armstrong, Liggett and Sherwen were linked in a financial arrangement. They should be nowhere near a microphone for many reasons but incompetence is only one of them.

LeGit blathering on about Cav not having enough time to catch the peloton before the end of the race after his off, less than 3 minutes later he's back!

I note that ITV have ditched the segment where Phil and Paul answer questions from the public. Maybe too difficult to find that "what do the riders eat" question that they answer every year in amongst the deluge of Pharmstong-denier emails?

They got all in am muddle today with the history of the Roche/Martin family trees: first we had the announcement that "Nicolas Roche is the son of Stephen Roche, who won the Tour in 1987"; then it was the revelation that "Dan Martin is the nephew of Stephen Roche, who won the Tour in 1987"; and then we had the real humdinger from Sherwen of "Dan Martin is Nicolas Roche's brother-in-law, err no I mean his cousin" - I think it was too much for him to work out what relation he'd be to Stephen Roche, winner of the Tour in 1987, if he was the cousin-in-law of his brother's dog, so he then told us that Martin's dad also rode a bike

Neil Martin, good bloke and a very handy bike rider indeed. Dan's mum is Maria, sister of Mr Roche senior.
hence he once had a GB licence, then decided to take out an Irish one (presumably dual nationality?) when he was already at quite a good level.

Liggett called an attack yesterday from someone called Nero Cantera. Must be new to the peloton.

So, on ITV4 as cyclists stop for roadside wazzes, commentator refers to natural breaks, immediately following this with ''You can see riders unloading their bottles.'' Is unloading your bottle a new euphemism?

Just be thankful neither were commenting on the Tour of Qinghai Lake yesterday: the third stage was won by Tabriz Petrochemical's Pourseyedigolakhour Mirsamad, closely followed by teammate, Amir Kolahdozhagh.
I would love to hear them try to pronounce those names!

Moral: If you want to succeed as a pro, the longest name you can have should not exceed Abdujaparov, and be phonetically easy to pronounce.

Ligget just said something about the Olympic TT not having the same quality as the world championships because there are restrictions on the number of entries per country...
Were there any top TTers not at the Olympics ? Depth would be less but the cream was all there innit !?
