peacock tdf coverage
Somehow, they found dudes even more boring for the studio talking heads. IMO they contribute nothing and actually detract. Bookwalter is especially stiff and awkward, multiple instances of deer in headlights face.
Thankfully Phil and Bob are still around.

For a change, you can always try the Worldfeed option. On that, you get Antony McCrossan and Nico Roche. Some people like McCrossan, others don't. It's a change.

McCrossan we can do without here. hes like fish hair ver 2 to us. 3?
i think my wife being British likes to hear Phil, she used to criticize Bob, but doesn't anymore.
McCrossan seems to just add way too much stupid fluff that is often either suplurflous and/or useless to us. And no space, he won't shut up. ;)

Yeah, I signed up for Peacock for Phil. He is the voice of the TdF.
I also had a lot of stuff on my to do list for the day but spent the entire morning watching the love coverage....UGH

I prefer to listen to Bob and Phil. I can tolerate McCrossan for a while, but I'm thankful that I don't have to listen to Chris Horner. CH was the biggest motormouth going.
Wondering whatever became of Jens Voigt's efforts?

Jens was active on MC in the Giro. We love his humorous prospective for sure.
VanderV it seems since today's stage a MC crashed, may be having anxiety attacks big time. Being a newbie. I can't imagine being a passenger under race conditions on the back of a MC.
I was not a Jen's fan until his last year for some reason.
This helped me be the huge fan I am since TOC 2019.
Look at my arm, Jens got a gorilla grip!! I have gorilla hands and don't very often have that happen. ;)

I'm still a fan of the coverage on SBS out of Australia. The commentators are great and a year's subscription to a good VPN costs less than a month of cable.
