Every time I hear Homain Bawday it’s like nails on a chalkboard, he isn’t Portuguese and in French you don’t pronounce the first r as an h.

Ant Mcrossan is an other one. Brian Smith, Robbie, Matt Stevens, heck even Carlton Kirby (with his junior high school humor) are all better.

I guess it’s like how I couldn’t stand Dick Vitale calling basketball games - love him or hate him.


Before the Giro, I only saw clips of Rob calling the final of the race/stage. I found him to be awesome at it.

Maybe they can ease him back a bit during the race and let him unleash at the end.
