It's more popular than the spoiler thread, that's for real!

Of Maxime Monfort, Liggett observes: "Because he's Belgian he can ride a time trial..."
I hadn't noticed any particular link between being Belgian and being able to ride a time trial.
I note the Hutch observed, in relation to Gilbert, that Belgians, these days, aren't particularly renowned for their TT skills.
It was bleedin' obvious that Cancellara was going to hammer Wiggy's time. Even I could see that and I assume that the Dopey Duo are commentating on the same pictures. Clueless gibbons, the pair of em.Liggett, on Cancellara with about 20 yards to go: "He'll shave it by about a second here..." as he crosses the line having smashed Wiggin's time by 7 seconds.
Ergo, Gilbert cannot be Belgian. Since everybody knows that Belgians aren't renowned for anything...
I agree that the Ads are egregious shite, but I rather like the commentary.
They love what they do.
I'm used to watching paddock interviews in MotoGP conducted by people who know nothing about motorcycles and care less.
This is refreshing, idiosyncratic, occasionally predictably ham-fisted but generally in keeping with the spirit of the spectator's view of the TdF.
We can mock their errors and bloopers, but I still watch with the sound on and loe it that way.
Thats not uncommonWhile I enjoy the regular piece to camera from the other presenters, Phil, lance is my buddy, Liggett talks sanctimonious tripe.

Beer and chips, isn't that enough!?
