"The autobus is not a physical bus"
It's unlistenable. Why is the coverage so patronising? Why do their sentences go up & down like that in tone? I don't have Eurosport. Just need to vent as watching on my own.

Itv should bin them off and do their own commentary.
I've not listened to them for year but caught some of the ITV4 coverage. It is a constant stream of drivel compared to the French commentary. I thought Phil had promised to quit if LA was caught doping?

Ahhh yes he did, but LA confessed and therefore didn't actually get "caught".
Put yourself in their place. Big money coming in and all they have to do is what sells. In any case I think you're confusing what they do and say in the commentary booth to who they are in real life.
He's long since given up saying anything meaningful, if that counts?
Correcting each other's mistakes through the Alps, I put it down to a surfeit of Cotes du Rhone.
I know they sometimes speak just the US audience or other nations that take their feed but surely the producer can stop them repeating each other all the time. Not sure if they've done it this year I gave up with them last year
A right couple of muppets!
Who do you think Bob Roll, Jensie, and the other two are? If not Phil and Paul's eventual replacements.
I like Matt Stephens a lot, understands racing and doesn't sound like a cliché ridden idiot. Matt and Ned, with Matt Rendell, Chris Boardman and David Millar sharing presenting and opinionated expert duties would work fine for me.
20 out of every 60 mins are ads here count yourselves lucky.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
Surely not, they must watch the AMGEN Tour of California, because, it is the 2nd most prestigious race of the year. That's the AMGEN Tour of California, where some rider or other was 3rd this year, in California, in the tour sponsored by AMGEN.
Far be it for me to suggest what they should do

It's such a low bar.
I know he divides opinion, but I though CK was really good this race, with the King also on good form.
Kirby is a prototype app. Eurosport load it with random cycling factoids and clichés before transmission. Deep Blow had an upgrade this season with the addition of fuzzy logic to avoid any coincidental alignment between cliché and actualité.
I would commit to watching every remaining race, until warming melts the roads, with P&P if it meant I never, ever, had to hear CK call another bike race.

I don't like watching with the sound off - but CK just grates terribly. P&P are complete numpties (or have become so recently) but I can tune them out and not get wound up.
I like Millar and Boulting as a double act. Millar's insight was spooky at times
Bravo!
