They did claim they checked with him how to pronounce his name, given they'd been calling him Merkov for the first two days and then changed it. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on this one. It's still not Boisson Hagen though. Is it Voyt or the Dave Harmon version Vogcht?

I think he was talking about the advantage Cancellara had over Wiggins increasing from 6 seconds at the half way point to 7 seconds at the end.
Haven't read the full thread but am I right in thinking that I heard once that Ligget and Sherwin broadcast simulataneously on 2 networks at the same time ? They each keep talking all the way and have a switch that swaps between broadcaster.
If true, it would explain an awful lot !

Yes and he keeps on refering to "the big favourites", which I think should be a cue for a drinking game.

Talking of pronunciation ....
So glad that Caisse d'Epargne are no more.
Even Harmon used to pronounce it Kay Stepanya.
Really got on my tits that did.

This is probably the most authoritative answer
No, I think that's the wrong way to pronounce it.
The cycling guy they get to say the name is clearly slightly foreign, a Teuton maybe?
He pronounces a 'V' as an 'F' in the surname and softens the initial letter of the first name, making it sound like a 'Y'.
Have you got any footage of someone who has the first idea how to pronounce foreign words?
At least it's easier than mentioning the Russian President on French TV or radio...
Thank you.

I forgot to mention that yesterday, on Eurosport, they were falling about and patting themselves on the back for their, quite frankly SHOCKING joke at the end.
There was a shot of a statue of Napoleon on the top of some tower and they were talking about how the field was blown apart..... or...... wait for it....... it'll be worth it....... seriously........... it was Napoleon Blownapart!
Don't give up the day job guys!

Harmon's vowel displacement winds me up. Apparently Jose Rujano is pronounced Jose Rojanu. Nice one Horman.

That I have no doubt. It is just a pity then that I have never been able to concentrate long enough to hear what he has to say!

Euro S again:
'Did you see the man at the side of the road waving a fish?'
'I... I have no idea how on earth to bridge that!'
Sorry, wrong thread. Again.

They must be reading this thread as they dropped the hillbilly Belgian version today and called him Morkov.

Seemingly Mark Cavendish is wearing a different jersey to the rest of his team, it's white with stripes the colour of the rainbow and he got it for wining the world championship, which he won last year after his team gave him the perfect lead-out.
If anyone is so fecking stupid to not know that Cav is world champion how the feck will they know what a "lead out" is? And he won it riding for GB not Team Sky, Sherwen you twonk...
