Too much bike racing on TV

[Ludwig]

There is simply too much bike racing and I'm already suffering from bike racing fatigue even before The Tour de France has started. It is getting to the stage where it is becoming like wallpaper of musak just twittering away in the background. I think peopel will get bored and fed up if they don't reduce the coverage.

 

[Noodley]

Fair point, well made.

It must be all that Cycle Speedway they keep showing. And wall to wall coverage of Subbuteo is killing interest in table soccer.

Yes, what we want is more darts, more snooker, proper sports........

 

[smokeysmoo]

I always enjoy the spring classics, and then I got bored of the Giro after the sprinters called it a day, and since then I've avoided most coverage so I don't get fatigued and I can save myself for the TDF

 

[sheddy]

Of course what we want is more pfootball...

have you a remote control for your tv? If you do there are usually channel changing buttons. How about use them when there is cycling on. Plenty of other stuff to see like Toys In The Attic, Homes Under The Hammer, Wheeler Dealers and such like.

I'll swap you my freeview for your satellite then. You can have it back after July

I thought it was sarcastic, but I don't think I can tell. I'd like clarification I think.

 

[Noodley]

I thought it was sarcastic...

as did I. Fairly obviously so...

 

[WychwoodTrev]

I just save it onthe hd and watch when I feel like it

I sort of see where he's coming from, i'm finding myself struggling with the Eurosport coverage at the moment. it seems like Carlton Kirby has been on forever! I like Brian Smith though. Looking forward the the ITV4 TdF coverage (big fan of Boulting and Rendell) although Phil and Paul are only good for drinking games these days.

 

[Speicher]

I like Brian Smith. Can we have his commentary on the Tour de France please.

 

[Keith Oates]

No problem with over exposure out here because the coverage is almost zero, even the clips of the finish videos on Yahoo etc. are not shown as a message comes up saying 'not available in your area'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
