Yes. Imlach is very good.

Perhaps I'm naive. I find the Phil/Paul commentary makes it very interesting, in contrast with the SBS bloke who does the bit before the dynamic duo (Tomalaris' words ) comes on.

Actually I quite enjoyed the 5-10 minutes of commentary blackout we got
during one stage last year. Listening to the buzz of chains rolling
over sprockets, ratcheting freewheels, tyres rolling over bumpy roads
and race chatter almost made me feel like I was really there.

in one of the intro's, apparently no australian has worn the yellow
jersey.
um, Phil Anderson, Stuart O'Grady, Brad McGee, Robbie McEwen.
Got confused with the socceroos not getting to the 2nd round before?

Over here in Engerland we have a "drug wrap up" before the nightly race replay starts!

Chris Boardman does some commentary which is kinda cool.

Not naive at all, they do (generally) a very good job indeed. Just
sometimes, as you'd expect, they drop the ball.

No-one's perfect

They're still confusing us all with leakygas/liquigas/lickygas

licky gas - does WADA have a test for that?

cognoscenti - is that a new line of campagnolo gruppo??

No, it's their new fragrance marketed towards cyclists.

That probably explains why we also hear about what Robbie Hunter is doing,
even when it isn't much.

Did you catch the little slip the other night about Lygon Street in
Adelaide (Rundle St?)? The Croweaters will never forget the insult of
you Vics pinching the F1 Grand Prix (haha, what irony - talk about ****
doused in perfume!). Very inventive of the Croweaters to get back by
pinching Lygon Street. That would only be capped by the Courier Mail's
weekend publication of an offer by Queensland Ink to buy NSW (great
spoof, if you can put your hands on it).
