No Phil Liggett??

[Smokin Joe]

I like the Ligett commentary.

"It is thought that the main reason behind ITV’s switch is editorial, as the broadcaster has no control over the Liggett/Sherwen commentary feed, as the pair primarily call the race for American network NBC"

Well, having followed the Tour for 30 years, I had a soft spot for Phil. Some of my favourite sporting commentaries have been uttered by him. From calling LeMond`s 8 second win to his utter excitement when Sean Yates did enough to pull on the yellow jersey (called him Sean Shyates lol)

At last ......

Ned is getting better but his heat of the moment rider identification still needs work.

I believe David Millar knows all the facts he is telling us about the landmarks, he has no need to read it from the Tour Guidebook.

I'm not convinced this is true.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I'm not convinced this is true.

I miss him, but TBH, as I get older I dislike change, more and more.

Bring back Eddy Irvine and Murray Walker !!!!

Oh, wait, is that the right sport?

True, life would be pretty boring if we were all the same

As I get older, I dislike changing into an old person, more and more!

(Still, I was offered the alternative a few years back and decided that becoming an old person was the better option! )

I pay so little attention to sports broadcasting, my first thought was "wasn't he the lead singer of Thin Lizzy?"

 

[david k]

Should do what cricket do and change them every hour, commentators that is

 

[Globalti]

We're missing Uncle Phil and Paul; we have enjoyed their batty commentary for years. Bring 'em back, we say.

Chaque un a son gout

I won't bother correcting the spelling mistake. Was it intentional?

 

[e-rider]

Ned needs a few more years practice yet - he's ok but far from perfect
