Agree.
I’m reading Ned’s book atm. When David Millar was dropped from TdF in 2014, Ned went looking for him to ask if he would join the ITV4 commentary team. Instead David sought them out and asked to join, if they would have him. What luck.
It’s obvious that Ned and David are friends, they gel, they read each other’s minds and they know their stuff. Lots of Preparation and revision goes into these grand tours and it shows.
I too find it hard to listen to the Vuelta commentary but find Ron Hatch to be a little better on the Giro.
My favourite is Chris Boardman, who is also superb along side Boulting and Millar.
