In defense of John Eustice, he is a nice guy and has done a
tremendous job promoting cycling in the Philly area and on
the East coast. I know I could not sit in front of a
microphone and narrate race coverage.

He is more than a little hyperactive. I like that he can get
down to the finish line and interview the winner in his
native language and translate it back into English live on
camera, though. Not easy (even after the rbr two weeks'
fluency program).

Funny thought: imagine the average US
baseball/football/basketball sideline TV announcer trying to
do live translation while talking to players.

You know, I watched that last night and I am not exactly
sure that he just didn't say what sounded good and not a
REAL translation of what Ventuoso said. If you remember, Tim
Johnson came up right then and Eustice said, " here's Tim
Johnson, maybe he can help with translating what his teamate
is saying". I mean if he did live translation that great, it
really didn't look like it to me. Just keep him out of the
play by play. He also was constantly interupting Phil and
cutting him short Dave

That's a good point, Eustice translated his own question for
the viewers, but that's not so hard since he knew what he
said. Ventoso started slow and then was talking really fast,
I had no hope of following (and my Spanish is really bad),
so don't know what he did say. Figured he wanted to talk to
Tim Johnson for the homer crowd and so as not to spend more
time translating.

The reason for that is because he thinks that he should be
doing the play by play not Phil, his ego is huge.

He also was constantly
