Somebody needs to just hire Cosmo Catalano to call races. There is a ton of tactical stuff going on, even during "sandbagging" that even the EuroSport announcers seem to have little clue about. And race radios need to go. Watching the Tour of Britain or other sub-WT races where radios are banned, is a lot more unpredictable and exciting. And whether it's the UCI or individual race promoters, just offer subscription or per-race online streaming. I'd pay $15 to watch a high quality live feed of Gent Wevelgem, or Paris Roubaix in a heartbeat.
