[Pro Tour Punditry]

A very interesting article from David Hunter, helped out by Greg Henderson

If only the commentators made mention of such things then newcomers to the sport might be able to gain some insight...

I think this is one of the things I like about some of the more thinking and coherent ex-pro summarisers, for example Millar or Boardman; you do get decent exposition of these things.

And with other commentators, unless well advised, don't have a clue what's happening unless it's so obvious a monkey could work it out!

Thanks for posting this, the article is very informative for someone like myself who is just starting to get to grips with the nuances of road racing after watching the tour de France from 2012 with no idea of what was going on, then watching other races as well, I wish there was more articles like this this for new viewers.
