Tour of Britain 4-11 September 2016 *spoilers*

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Had to turn the sound off while watching yesterday's stage, Hugh Porter must be one of the worst commentators of any sport, truly terrible and can't even speak English properly. Carlton Kirby is sublime in comparison.

So far today I reckon he must have identified half a dozen "the crucial" moments; all have passed, and another "crucial" part appears.

"And again we see Madison Genesis going to work, actually we haven't seen them at all today, so here's Madison Genesis..." Well done Hugh

Am I the only one who thinks of the Steve Miller Band when Meurisse is mentioned?

If you don't like the ITV commentry its also on the BIKE channel (251 on freesat, not sure of the number on sky/virgin etc.) with different commentators.

I'm just grabbing some lunch in Cockermouth after watching them start up Whinlatter earlier then probably setting today's slowest time up the pass after they'd gone

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Yes.

Not any more I won't

Not any more I won't

Most of us will be too tired to remember what you posted ...

Thought I'd watch it for the scenery, as I love the Lakes. Watched as far as the poor bastards strugging up the Struggle in the cloud!
And I want to know what Cav said to that spectator!

Did any of them walk up The Struggle like I did?

Didn't think so.

Did any of them walk up The Struggle like I did?

Didn't think so.

I've never even attempted The Struggle on two wheels - much easier with 4 and a proper engine!
TBH, some bits of it are bloody hard to walk up, never mind cycle!

Good racing in today's stage

 

[brommers]

Why didn't I pick Stevo today?

It isn't even easy to come down because it's so damn steep and narrow.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Swifty needs to get his finger out!

Do you think Hugh has shoes labelled left and Right?
