Did anyone else think the commentary on Paris-Nice was the worst eve
attempt at cycling journalism? Like when CSC were splitting the rac
asunder in the cross/headwinds after the corner on the second stage, an
the commentator says, "ah yes, riding well to protect their leader", wh
is shown rolling off the front after a turn. Or where an Iles-Balear
rider goes on the offensive, and the guy reads the list of hi
teammates, because he knows nothing (NOTHING!) about bike racing an
can't tell us anything interesting. Or where he gives time gaps but no
distance remaining... I could go on... at least they showed it, but ho
on earth are people going to get interested in bike racing when th
commentator himself seems bored and is boring
Hope the Phil and Paul show returns for Roubaix and Liege
