Two things bothering me about Le Tour coverage

[Andrew_Culture]

Well two things surrounding the coverage I guess.

That lad on the turbo during the opening sequence has his seat set too high. His hips are rocking.

The fella on the watchfinder advert has his bike upside down on the roadside.

Pedantic? Hell yeah.

You'll find many similar comments on the spoilers thread

Doh! Sorry all.

I'll get me coat.

I was only highlighting you are not alone. The ads do seem to get more attention than the racing at times.

He's also got his front wheel QR the wrong way around

The watch ads are very annoying.

That's where the fast forward button comes in. We always record the highlights and fast forward through the adverts.

For some reason, I can't get ITV4. I watch it on catch up and can't ff through the ads

I wrote to the company about the Watchfinder ads, glad it's not just me that finds them annoying. Why does that guy have to ride off at 4 mph? Why spin the wheel anti-clockwise? We know you're trying to be arty farty and make us see the analogy between the bike wheel and the watches, so why not put it on a stand, and show us the gears working, that would make it a much closer match!

The Alpercin advert with the team manager shouting on the bus annoys me.
Firstly I doubt teams have that sort of shouty pre race meeting.
Secondly,I had the TV on in the other room. I heard the commentator going nuts so ran in to see what action had occurred, only for it to be the bloody alpercin team talk.

Have you seen the prices on Watch Finder.You could buy a top of the range bike or a decent second hand car for the price of the majority of watches.

Bring back the old Skoda advert

It's even worse than their ad from last year with Tom and Roy

I found a watch without them. It was 99p in B&M. It's been fine for 2 years and still going strong.

You can hire posh watches for occasions!

Who wants cut-rate watches from Watchfinder? This is where I usually shop. For only $11 million you can get yourself a nice understated stainless steel wristwatch... Value!
