Giro 2020 SPOILERS !!

[DRM]

I think that it was a daft idea in 1920 and an even worse idea a full century later, in 2020!

Trouble is it’s Italy, they are still in 1820 in that respect, some of their ideas on women game show co hosts beggar belief.

Just cements the idea that men do sport and women are just there to look pretty in the minds of the young viewers. Needs consigning to the rubbish bin of history ASAP

Did the Italians have a lot of game shows in the 1820’s?

Obviously not, but a recent one featuring Berlisconi and several topless women spring to mind, prime tv 📺 believe

Completely missed from the highlights show. Not even names. I wonder if they'll cover it at the start of tomorrow's.

I was thinking how poor the highlights are, and now this.

(the commentary on the sprint run-in was one of the worst I've heard. Almost no useful info for the viewer at all. Not an easy job, I know, but they're being paid to work in their dream-job ... )

No-one knows - there were no TV Companies to record them.

Get the Eurosport or GCN channel ? What highlights are you watching ?

 

[matticus]

Quest channel, 7-8pm.

(I haven't seen Eurosport since 1992. I think.)

Yep, a long-running one called "Risorgimento", which arguably had its first live episode in 1821 in Piedmont

I guess in today's world,you get what you pay for.Not sure how much they are,was 19.99 a year on offer.But you can pay 6.99 for a month ? Otherwise you'll have to suffer quest 😁

Since 1992 I've followed the reviews from my fellow "enthusiasts". Sounds like that money gets you:
- the most irritating commentators in Christendom, and
- a lot of women's tennis.

Amiright??

(and isn't the Quest show produced by GCN/Eursport? I really don't know, and it's all I plan to watch this year anyway! Jeez, I waste enough of my life watchin telly as it is ...)

I stumbled across that one the other day too. Even got a Scottish commentator which suits me.
