IMO cycling is such an expansive, diverse and subjective sport/past-time that it’s gonna be pretty damn difficult to please everyone who chooses to tune in.
Didn’t connect with the presenter. Thought Mansell was actually alright – surprisingly. Obree illustrated his insanity. Fisher played the nutjob role with aplomb, but was also pretty grounded. Cafe and hangers-on – not sure about them. Hemingway slot should have been expanded upon.
With a 30 min show no doubt cut down to something like 23 mins of actual play time on a commercial channel it’s no doubt gonna be hard to cover enough ground AND be relevant.
Hopefully the next few shows will show some spark and get people off their couches and onto a saddle. Won’t happen though if it’s anything like this.
