This has really shown how hard Phil and Paul work, and how much effort must go into making it sound so natural. <br /><br />If I hear the Universal guy call Levi "Lenny" or "Levey" one more time (in addition to all his other wild mispronunciations of rider names - which are kinda the POINT TO HIS JOB) I will scream more loudly than I did the last time. And, not to be all rah-rah USA, but come on - he's on an American network, try to occasionally say something positive about the American riders! (Jeeze, he was even picking on the American tourists in Florence "who have no idea a race is going on nearby.") Quit reading the Twitters from riders and pretend to be a real commentator, who has an idea what is going on in the race!!<br /><br />And Sean Kelley on Eurosport was a great rider, but if this guy is not on some kind of tranquilizers I would be amazed. He mumbles incoherently, drifts off his point several times during a sentence, and seems to be fuzzy on the idea he is being broadcast.<br /><br />Phil and Paul (with some Bobbke thrown in for color) - I MISS YOU!!<br /><br />And, I was so very sad for Popo! He has such a great day, and while I'm thrilled for Carlos it was a little heartbreaking so see Popo lose it so close to the finish.Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31276168.post-9698935620164135522009-05-26T10:51:56.012-04:002009-05-26T10:51:56.012-04:001st--"so wrong about so much" --like what?

Why not rely on accusations of doping by others when your performance wanes?<br /><br />There have been no positive tests yet in this Giro d' Italia and this implies that the entire peloton is riding "clean" including Cunego. <br /><br />So perhaps your suggestion is not so far off base, Cunego should stick to the one day Classics.velovortmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282207009021242082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31276168.post-22392835775930251072009-05-25T19:50:18.319-04:002009-05-25T19:50:18.319-04:00I have to disagree with you on the point of Cunego...I have to disagree with you on the point of Cunego. Though I previously would have agreed with you, I've recently come to the conclusion that Cunego is not doing well in the grand tours because he's racing clean. My two cents...and I was never a fan until this Giro. Always felt like you & the media, "accept it you're a classics man." Which is why doping won't stop...people want the fireworks. Hypocrites, the fans & the media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
