While ITV may be the kings of showing more adverts than actual cycling, at least they are more varied with their commercials than Eurosport. So, which Eurosport ad do you find most annoying?

    Where's the Pozzato Sidi advert? I voted other and this is the other.

    The most annoying is Tyler's purely down to the frequency it's shown. But the worst is Alberto's saddle one, it looks like it was made 20 years ago...

    The Transitions ad that mentions Tyler "enjoying the tour" in his transitions lenses is fairly Ironic this morning :lol:
    Kona Fire Mountain
    Kona Kula
    Duster

    On Eurosport International I'd have to go with Tyler and his transition lenses , on British Eurosport I'd say Wiggle

    Think Tyler is now enjoying the Tour in the same way that we are. Very important to have your Transitions on at all times, need to me careful of those changing light conditions in your living room!

    I think 'Incredible India' needs a mention too.

    In fact they're all pretty annoying (other than the Contador/Schleck Specialized one)

    "Enjoy Shooting" is the weirdest, oiled up Pozzato is the most cringeworthy.

    Why do they have so many adverts for countries? I'm going for the transitions ad though, strangely he seems to use standard cycling glasses while racing in reality!

    From the above list it's Tyler, but overall most annoying is the Panasonic one that explains 3D TV and seems to run for about 1/2 an hour!

    Oh, no-one's mentioned that flippin' Renault advert yet.

    "Excuse me, but do you need this car?"

    "No..." Meaningful pause. "...but I want it."

    Yeah right.

    Not shown all that much but the Malaysia tourist board ad is pretty shocking.

    You can just imagine all the ad creatives sitting around the table a few hours before the crunch client meeting, sweating blood as they rack their brains trying to come up with a strapline. The clock is ticking and getting ever more desperate some bright spark realises that, as well as being in asia, 'malaysia' actually rhymes with 'asia'!

    Bingo.

    'Malaysia truly asia' is born despite being completely cretinous.

    I see a different scenario where the same creatives sit around for ten minutes, come up with that slogan, say 'that'll do' and then all head down the wine bar to rack up the expense account

    That ad is just the dumbest ad I've ever seen for cycling. What the heck does it have to do with the shoes? And yes, it is cringeworthy for sure.

    Don't think I've seen it this year but the 'spin the shoe' one was pretty odd.

    do quite like the Wiggle ad, there's a shot that appear to be in an office with Wiggle boxes dotted around. Kinda reminds me of my office :D

    the wiggle ad is surreal

    there is a dummy(?) looking at bike on a mantelpiece between 2 book shelves?

    The BT football sky sports 1 and 2 advert gets my goat with that guy off 'the family' ( now mr BT) and his stupid cgi ball skills with celebrity footballers looking on in admiring way and gently fondling him (not sure why his basement carpark has an exit onto a footballs stadium tunnel anyway). What next Mr BT crossing the line infront of cav in a sprint in Paris and cav patting him on the back in a 'loving way'...

    Is it just me or does anyone else find BTs adverts somewhat patronising (or I would do If I was a football fan)

    Gotta be the SIDI shoes ad. Why does he hit himself in the chest with the shoes before thrusting them at the camera?

    I love 'incredible India' advert... And I also don't mind the sidi advert too as I have a pair, unfortunately now though when I get them out of the bag, I now have to strip off and oil myself up and smile with a big stupid grin or other times I get my best White suit on and have the strange urge to keep tapping them on my chest? Why is this?

    I hate the Ghana one. The first time it appeared seemed to be just after Ghana got knocked out of the World Cup.

    Also, it was on during the Giro but the Turkish Airlines is odd.

    Malaysia, Truly Asia...

    but don't forget

    Croatia. The Mediterranean as it once was (really annoyingly noisy if the soundtracks anything to go by)

    and the one about Brazil awaits you with the faux americanised voicer over.

    I like the one with Bert and Andy - I was surprised by a bear once so it brings back fond memories.

    Polish marathon anyone?
    chain reaction?
    Bert and his 5 bar gates up the mountain?

    There was quite a nice one for Azabyjahn earlier (sorry can't spell it but I'm sure you know which one I men).
