I thought the coverage was good aside from that.

Right after a commercial break they were warming back up, and then Phil said something about them
loosing the feed, then it sounded like Paul

before. I also thought Garzelli consistently looked stronger than Simoni on the climb, when P-P-B
repeatedly said the opposite.

Just because you think sucking Simoni's wheel made Garzelli look stronger doesn't make the
commentators wrong. Or did you only watch the last 100 meters?

Don't get me wrong, I love these guys, and we are very fortunate to have them to gripe about. But
this was not one of their finer days.

first you make the case that they had technical glitches, and now you're making it sound like the
commentators were screwing up. Think about it -- Phil and Paul can't do their job if their feed
sucks; as for Roll, well, see the other thread.

Count yourself lucky - Eurosport in the UK pulled the advertised coverage in favour of a

Love your friendly attitude. I hope *you* have a nice day, too.

Exactly. I think that, in this case, there were technical glitches in some parts of the broadcast
and announcer screwups in others. But, hey, they do a great job generally, and I thought they were
outstanding in Sunday's coverage.
