I like the tour of britain but I cannot get on with the current commentators.For me they are not really interesting and it is a really boring input.I don't usually moan but it's dire coverage on the highlights.Dont wish to offend though.
Indeedthe contrast between Vuelta and ToB coverags, by the same ITV4 channel is night and day.Already posted in the ToB thread about this. (On ITV 4) The commentary is terrible. Rob Hayles is just about acceptable but the other guy is really dire. I can't watch for more than a couple of minutes at a time. The visual coverage is bad too, pulling away just as something starts to happen, and the ad breaks seem to be timed to be at the very worst moments - and as for the daytime ads, equally dire. All in all a very amateur feel to the whole affair. The ITV4 Vuelta coverage on the other hand is a pleasure to watch.
And today a Burt Reynolds tribute!Indeedthe contrast between Vuelta and ToB coverags, by the same ITV4 channel is night and day.
I particularly enjoyed the Spanish Message to Rudi play out the over day.
Just for CC, I watched to the end today and yes, the endcap says it's a Century TV production in association with Sweetspot Group.while ToB is basically by the race organiser's choice which has been Century TV in past years but I've not checked this year.
