The Sherwen and Liggett Tour thread *spoilers*

Saying that 'bents cannot climb hills.

And 60kph driving a 406 wheel?

And finally, how can a trike keep going to the left so much so that it 'terrified me'.

They are better though then Eurosport even with the poxy adverts.

"high speed wheelchair".......

Fligget, I think it was yesterday, was going on about the different pronunciations of the river Meuse. It got me thinking....

You say Meuse, I say Maas,
Let's call the whole thing Belgium.

Have not got Sky so stuck with ITV and then only the 1 hour hilites.

But the "wheelchair" bit had me falling about.

And at least its on.

Having the pleasure of meeting and knowing Rob Hayles, Chris Boardman, David Harmon, Phil Liggett, there is one thing that they share, a love of the sport. The styles are different, and Chris can be over-analytical, Rob a bit laid back (but he has a very interesting sense of humour), David is just a good all round bloke, Phil has done it all and still loves it. Sean Kelly just has more knowledge than anyone I have ever met about bike racing. Ned is getting better all the time, and he's an excellent presenter, plus since not doing so much football, rides a bike more (and is not bad on it). Which is one thing they all share - toddling off for a ride (in SK's case about 15 kph faster than is comfortable for anyone else..!).

Oh, seems clean to me.

Ned seems to think he's on the Giro rather than Le Tour - telling us all about "Bologna",maybe he had spaghetti for lunch.

Dear Paul Sherwen, who the feck is Michael Meurkwuew? Morkov. He's not some fecking Belgian hillbilly!!!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I have decided, that Irish guy, Kelly on Eurosport has the most boring voice ever!

I think they've been listening to all the people whining that they pronounce names incorrectly.

Dear whingers. Pray tell, what is the capital city of France? I rest my case...

Do you think Mr Harmon might read this thread? Today he said "It's all kicking off big time now!" followed immediately by "You wouldn't hear Phil and Paul say "it's all kicking orf biig tiiime now!"

I think Harmon has a lovely voice.

Yes I saw that.
