Is there any real point to this thread?
Given that our friend won't or cannot provide any real answers.

You mean outside of making fun of some poor sod who cannot finish the TdF prologue without a double helping of Big Macs + supersized fries at the first time check to keep the cholesterol up?

No.

Hm, maybe when the show starts and somebody is actually watching it? It could be fun, in an unintentional way. I think the show could merge with 'Survivorman' and 'extreme makeover'. You know, the two slobs should be given bicycles and nothing else, and they have to complete the course, while feeding only on roadkill, sleeping in ditches (where they meet Hincapie) etc. and in the end, they get a face lift and tummy tug and a brand new XXL kit, nuh, make that XL. Awesome concept!

That does sound fun.

Maybe a bunch of use could get online and do play by play commentary. It could be fun.

I nominate you and Helmut for that job.

By not answering, I think he has effectively told us that he is connected to the production or he is one of the turkeys in the show.

He probably would have lied, but I guess there are others who know who he is.

I am not connected to the show. I just think it is funny how long this thread has gone on. Let's just watch the show and then continue the thread. I like the play by play idea.

I might even pay for that...

Uh-huh. My guess is that you are a douche bag flunkie for Discovery Channel who has a job of promoting the show, but you are too slimy to man up and admit it, For that reason I won't watch it and don't recommend anyone else does either.

Here is the one post you made after signing up to another cycling site:

Tour De France Discovery Hd Show
Looks like there is going to be a Discovery HD special on January 13th on Discovery HD Theater. It seems that 2 amatuer cyclists were selected to train with the Discovery team and do the queen stage, Stage 16.

I think this might put the sport in a positive light. It might convey the true passion and integrity of the sport, not the dark side that has plagued our sport for years.

The show is slated for January 13th at 8 pm on Discovery HD theater!!!

Here are some trailers

For someone not connected with the show,you really went all out to register in multiple forums and pimp out the show. Why?
It makes no sense for a disinterested party to do that... mentioning it in a forum where you already participate, sure. registering in multiple forums to post the same thing, nope makes no sense.

Helmut as Phil Ligget: And this is a beautiful day for a mountain stage in the Tour de France. Of course, the pro riders have completed the course hours ago, but our two fatties are still out here giving it all they have.

Bro Deal as John Tesh: It's a glorious day for our two fatties as they wobble up the Tourmalet. The sun is shining resplendent on to their Disco kits...

Helmut as Ligget: Speaking of Disco kits I think fatty #1 has popped a seam. In deed he has. His ass is hanging out. Well, that is a disappointment, but both our boys are soldiering on... What's this? Fatty #2 has stopped. Indeed he has. He's pulled over to the side of the road. It's not a flat. I can see that. What is this? He's pointing at his mouth. Could we have a dental problem? The team car is there. They've gone to the back and... well of course, it's a banana split with all the helpings and now fatty #1 has stopped further up the course having spotted this. He's not the type to pass on a banana split. We know this from his tremendous girth. He's thrown his machine to the curb and is running back on his cleats and, oh! He's tackled the mechanic and has made off with the banana split with fatty #2 in hop pursuit. Well, John, this isn't what we'd expect to see in a mountain stage at the Tour, but enjoyable nonetheless.
