    Yes, it is annoying the way that Sean always refers to it as the Tour OF France.

    I am really interested in the outcome of mixed-doubles tennis matches.

    Ha ha, yes he is the opposite in trying to say every name in foreign accent like "Tomas Voclair".

    I've been downloading the SBS coverage. Trick seem to be a decent team.

    That's Rob Hatch, still trying to work out what he calls AG2R.

    I think it's acceptable to make plans and then either turn up an hour late or not at all without any notice.

    And leave without saying goodbye, leaving everyone wondering if you're coming back or not.

    I'm astounded by Sean's ability to use the words "number of" in almost every sentence, eg "last number of kilometres". Watch out for it.

    It's something like 'Ah-szeh-deux-urr' isn't it?
    I know I'll have watched too much Eurosport when I get my P45 - I've just found out I can project it from my Iphone App to 3 big TV's in the room next to my office - and the picture is excellent!

    Indeed, he's sayings it correctly.

    I like how people complain about Kelly not using the correct name but Hatch is getting complained about for using the correct names.

    Good thread.

    I've also become a big fan of skiing and shooting.

    No complaints from me. On the contrary, it's good to hear it spoken for someone like me who is trying to improve their, frankly awful, French pronunciation!
