Can someone explain the coverage to me?

It sounds like Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin are doing the
"Roadside Tour," and Bob Roll and Al Trautwig are going
the regular coverage. Is this the game plan? Why two forms
of coverage?

Thanks,

Mike

Why not? Seems to be working ok, would you like more of
Kirsten instead?

You forgot Sam Posey too for his brief little pieces. Al was
one of older crowd when Lemond was winning, so was Posey. At
least they didn't bring Beth back. Watching her chase Lemond
was hilarious.

Posey was horrible! As was Beth also! The other people doing
the race in those days were great.

The Liggett and Sherwen commentary is franchised to a
number of English speaking channels - eg we get it on ITV2
with roadside coverage from Gary Imlach +co - we don't get
Roll, Gumm etc.

It could be worse--John Tesh was also on the commentary team
in the mid-80's.

Someone neglected to tell OLN that the only reason these
guys had experience doing the TdF for the networks is not
because they were talented, it was because back then cycling
was at the bottom of the sports food chain--it's where they
stuck the people who couldn't do anything else.

I think it varies by market (geographic area). I have
watched at least 3 different times this year and have only
heard Phil and Paul with Kirsten spliced in to a longer
version (The Road Side Tour?) of the presentation.
