Bikes and Canada should be worth a watch 🙂

What channel? What time?

Polly on bikes in Canada…. 😀

Channel 5 8.00pm

29ers though….

it’ll be cr4p, no real detail and they’ll say stuff like “with the advanced compound 2.1 all terrain tyres I really felt confident in the corners”.

you shout at the telly – especially if polly isnt wearing something inappropriately tight clothing

I hate polly, the only thing she is good for is looking good.

She’s not all that either, give it 5 years and she’s the blond Suzi Perry

Gaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

No ****’ signal. Damn Sky box.

<sigh>

aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrghhhhhhhhhh

Kinda knew it would be a load .bo@#$cks

Up and running…just caught the last two bikes being gently pootled. What did I miss?

Nothing. Though if they’d had tested decent bikes they’d have to award the winner about 150 ‘G’s…

And your point is.

What a drop off! Not surprised she stacked it…

what do you all expect from this prog – it’s super-generalising an niche sport for the audience! but the concensus was that better components do not a winner make, geometry triumphs!

Just wondering what the hell happened to Ortis, Suzi and Jon?

P45

………..i don’t like the new format, bring back suzi and the annoying old geezer that talks funny! 😀

It’s shoddy, they have dumped Suzi, Jon and Ortis and also abandoned the studio. They have turned a genuinely enjoyable show into tat.

the “talking heads” format is annoying, but fair play to Polly for being game and laughing before she’d even slid to a halt in her crashes…

If you need to ask what happened to Ortiz either google or look in previous gadget show threads to see the toe curling car crash of him presenting athletics…

That bloke, is it Jason, us soooo bloody annoying. Why does he feel the need to wear such stupid attention seeking comedy glasses? Is being a knob end not enough that he has to look like one too?

I always hope that its going to be a decent program but I am always disappointed by the pile of shite that is put out.

Surely that would be a reason to not use him as an athletics presenter though ?

I always thought he was ok on the gadget show.

I hated the old format to, could only watch it by recording it then fast-forwarding through 75% of it, I’ve not even bothered watching more than about 5 minutes of the new series. Keeping Polly sounds about the only good decision (although Jon was over-due a P45).

He’s a self-confessed geek. And really into ‘tech’. Whatever that means.

I think practically wetting yourself over some poxy gadget or other is a bigger worry than how daft your glasses are.

😀

Oh, and since when were 29ers a gadget?

Twits.

I think practically wetting yourself over some poxy gadget or other is a bigger worry than how daft your glasses are.

To be fair, he’s doing the same thing with ‘tech’ that we do with bikes.

Most of the show is crap but I really love the five or ten minutes they use to run through the competition prizes.

Careful, have you seen any pictures of Chipps from the mag?

I have to confess to quite enjoying watching Polly depending on what she is wearing; the bikes did make me cringe a bit but the skiing even more so, she was not good on ski’s, then at the end he said she was a really good skiier, kind of makes me wonder if all the stuff I don’t know about has such off the mark reporting.

Still my 9 year old loves it
