Hi and welcome! I'm new here too.

I am an avid pro cycling fan and you wouldn't believe how much I have learned from watching the broadcasts of procycling races.

The godfathers of cycling commentating are: Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwinn and you can hear them on VS. (a cable channel) every Sunday in the early evening, usually around 6 pm eastern time.

Also you can go to cycling.tv. A great internet site that shows a wide range of the big cycling races. They even have a free channel where you can watch at a low bandwidth. The guys on there are interesting to listen too. They also have shows that are full of the latest gear, etc.

I learned through osmosis about the different terms, gear and technique. My only problem is I want to go out and ride just like the pros do. Oh well it is always good to have something to aspire to.

Hope this helps!
