Liggett: "There's some nice horse meat down there"
Perhaps he missed breakfast.

Eisel is now leading the peloton up the mountain. His Sky team mate is Bradley Wiggins, Tour De France winner and gold medalist at the Olympic games time trial....
.... Any opportunity to throw in two British names in a race they are not involved in!

You guys are so cynical its on prime time tv ...... IF they expand a bit to educate people who would normally not watch cycling then all power to them. Crickey this is Australia and there is cycling on tv every day from 9.30 to 11 or when ever it finishes. I get to choose tennis or cycling and I love the choice tennis SUCKS so do footy, cricket and all the other rubbish we are fed. Just enjoy it!!!RonK wrote:And Sherwin must be running out of ideas too - he trotted out his old "suitcase of courage" line on the Corkscrew the other day...

Phil: If you win 13 times, you're pretty good.

Liggett is explaining how riders preparing for the TdF tend to start slowly in the season.
Liggett:"Having said that however, Cadel's team-mate, TJ Van Garderen is currently racing in the Tour De San Luis and is coming second."
Sherwin: "I think you can put that down to youthful experience".
Really? Youthful experience?
Kev.

But there others, every bit as competent and entertaining - Carlton Kirby, David Harmon, Brian Smith, Magnus Backstedt (when he stops riding for good). Even Sean Kelly makes a half-decent fist of it. The future of cycling commentary is assured.

In that case it's understandable that maybe his commentary is suffering from fatigue or a slight reduction in effort or enthusiasm.
It would be a shame if he lets the disenchantment show enough to compromise his reputation.
btw thanks Joeblake, "Liggetures" is brilliant!
