[fossyant]

The commentry is aimed at nobbers. We are all nobbers.

Napoleon grew up here until he was old enough to leave and then he left.

"The riders stay off the main road on that little road over to the far right"

Wonder if he means the one with all the people riding bicycles on, the one that's quite clearly farking visible.

Completely called the lead two on the attack wrong, unbelievable

''...the main field are boring...''

No, bearing down on [insert incorrect name].... 3 times he changed bearing to boring!

Yesterday the riders were taking "electric drinks" out of their musette bags.

Today I synced the eurosport commentary from my laptop with the itv4 pictures. Great success.

I'm pretty sure Sherwen said Froomey was riding electrical chainrings....

Well...

First go to cyclingfans,com and select a satisfactory eurosport stream. Begin streaming, see terrible image and hear audio perfectly.

Second, turn on your television set and turn to ITV 4. Hear drivel. Hit mute. Using your Sky + box (other TV recording boxes are available) press pause. Resume playback when the picture of the eurosport feed matches what's on the tv. They are usually about 8 seconds delayed. Laptop audio, tv pictures. It works because all the images come from ASO or French tv I guess.

Hope this helps.

Or just watch Eurosport? Has Mr Sherwen mentioned that anyone is "turning himself inside out" yet? Very messy when that happens. Carlton Kirby is doing a good job and he's got the Duffield/Murray Walker getting excited voice which works well at the crucial climbs and finishes. Add in the sane and sensible comments of Sean K, and the question would be, if you have a Sky box, why bother with ITV4.
I guess we should be pleased that it's on terrestrial, all it needs is quality commentators who relate to the British viewer, not provide a feed that is probably meant for US consumption?

The pair of them got today's winner wrong, and blamed it on Race Radio giving the wrong name - despite there being close-ups of the winner for quite a considerable distance. Just all-round piss-poor. Do your fecking jobs properly or ship out you dicks!!

"Froome, with his doublet all unbraid
No hat upon his head; his stockings foul’d,
Ungerter’d, and down-gyved to his ankle;
Pale as his shirt."
In reverential memory of this, many gentlemen in the peloton today wear loose socks barely covering their ankles.
How did Froome support himself in Corsica?
"Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral bak’d meats
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables."

Probably the most diabolical Ligget/Commentary in the history of televised sport

 

[crisscross]

I must be the exception to the rule ( as per usual) but I quite like the stoopid comments - and can't afford Eurosport.

However, I too was mystified by the electrical chainring - is having an engine not against any minor rules in cycling - and i fnot - where can I get one?!

Eurospot player here, good value and good pic on the laptop at £4.00

My TV hates itv4 as the dire signal we get just breaks up.

Just watching the highlights show, those f*cking jokers are making the same basic errors they made earlier today, will they never learn...
