How does he get a gig like that and come with such quotes as "ooopps" "woooaaah" and "deary deary deary me" WTF!

He makes David Coleman sound like David Dimbelby

Well what kind of DH course is that going past people's front gardens??

I like the comment - "look at his white handlebars!"

He's making the mistake of actually comentating on what's going on!

He needs to take a leaf out of Warners book and not bother!

I think we had this discussion after Maribor, when he said XT had been the top gruppo for 15 years or more, and he's surprised SRAM havent bothered making an effort for mtb's, lol.
Think he also called Gee Atherton a Scotsman.

He did say that back in his day there were also DX pedals, similar but nowadays these ones the DHillers ride are flatter. Eh?? Something like that. He admitted never to have ridden down hill but he does have an MTB in his garage, but he was more a cyclocross rider.

It's woeful.
Why do they not just stream the audio from the pair in the arena ?
Or Get CG\Warner sober enough to commentate for the masses ?.

Freecaster is excellent, but I can't stream it fast enough !

Dufield used to be the main voice on eurosport, now does the 'smaller' events- when no one else is available. If you want to know about the local cheese/wine, or what happened 50 years ago hes yer man, otherwise he aint
