Vuelta coverage

Anyone else finding the commentary a bit crap?

I note a guest appearance from Frankie Boyle tonight 😀

I gave up watching tonight, just shows how good the TdF coverage is nowadays.

God knows how bad the Tour of Britain coverage might end up being….

Seems pretty decent on Eurosport…

I agree Al, a far cry from Sherwin and the lads. Gary is doing his bit (in customary brown wardrobe) but he’s really up against it.

Not as good as the TdF, but significantly better than nothing so thanks to ITV4

It’s definitely better than nothing! MCTD you missed a very entertaining little battle at the end. The commentary’s not great at the moment but to be honest all cycling commentators drive me up the wall on occasion, it’s a very hard job to get right.

I do think they’ve been a bit mean to Matt Rendell sending him out there on his own, surely they could have stumped up for a cameraman so the poor sod doesn’t have to fight his way into the melee holding a mic, a camera, and speaking five different languages at the same time?

Its a bit on the amature side compared to the Giro and TdF , but at least Its something to watch . The thing that also struck me Is how the Spanish countryside is nowhere as near as picturesque as the French or Italian.
