TDF: a shiny new thread for 2012

[malkin]

The Phil Paul Bob predictions thing is still going, but I think they don't show it for every broadcast. Before the time trial, they were joking about how Phil has won for several years in a row, and McHugh quipped something like "be careful or USADA will come knocking at your door." He keeps up with the news anyway.

There was another guy named Scott, I think. He looked like a cyclist.

I looked him up: Scott Moninger.

I really do watch the race too. If Sagan had taken a turn at the end, he could have gained a few seconds and probably still gotten the stage win. I think it was a mistake to let Fabu pull him all the way.

I just love the Tour!! DH and I are talking about going next year for our 25th anniversary.

I have the app for the Iphone, and I agree that it is excellent.

I love listening to Phil and Paul. They are so entertaining!

I was heartbroken at Tony Martin's time trial. He was my pick with Fabian 2nd. Still love Fabian though.

And Tony Martin crashed yesterday in stage 1. Looks like he's just having that sort of tour.

Yeah, Moninger... he has a low monotone voice, makes it hard to listen to him. At least Craig Hummer is still around. I know Gogo was on Universal, but he did cover the TdF last year, and I thought really added to the commentary. I was sorry to see he isn't here this year.

What utter chaos on the finish line this morning. Is there going to be any stopping Peter Sagan???? Wow!!

I'm sorry, my bad, I forgot Gogo was doing TdF commentary on Versus last year. I'm going senile.

I agree, he's really something.

An interesting article about Sagan was posted today on my fave cycling blog, The Inner Ring:

Okay, someone please tell the people at AGR2 that their shorts are too thin in back. We can see everything.

So far the Road ID commercials I've seen have been clearly targeted toward men.

Okay I just saw the one with the VW bus. That was okay, though for equal time I think George should have been leaning forward seductively.

How many Sugar Puffs (or whatever they are) do you think George actually ate?

They already know.

What do you mean? Are any ads on any sports coverage targeted toward women or children?
