Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's pretty cool for $19.99 and your subcription is good until something like mid June.

Miss Phil and Paul though. Some other Englishman doing to whole commentary by himself.

If you can't catch the live feed early in the morning, they have a rebroadcast anytime you want.

Anthony McCrossan does a great job, I like watching him on cycling.tv and of course sprung for the Giro subscription!

I've been watching it via the PPV option for the past two stages. So far so good!

Anyway, about the commentators, I like that CyclingTV guy. Phil and Paul's Discovery worship gets on my nerves, so I appreciate the somewhat less biased commentary. I will say though that his rambling on and on about CSC's Descente skinsuits during stage one was a bit redundant.

You would think with all of the retired bike riders in England that they couldn't hire a color commentator on the cheap?

What is Chris Boardman doing these days besides testing new road bikes ?

Nah, I think that guy holds his own pretty well. For some reason I thought they had two commentators on stage one though? Maybe I'm just losing it.
