Road Runner Posted July 7, 2014 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2014 is doing a great job of commentary in this year's tour. It's great to have someone with very recent experience talking about what the riders go through. Far superior to Paul and Bob, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted July 7, 2014 Share #2 Posted July 7, 2014 Paul Sherwin rode for Sean Kelly for years Bobke not only rode for 7 Eleven, but didn't he also train with Lance after his cancer and get him ready for the 1999 Tour? For me, I like Phil and Paul together. Phil is just the voice of cycling for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr8hed Posted July 7, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 7, 2014 I do agree with Nate that Phil is the voice of cycling. But I do really like the job that CVV is doing. Bobke is great as well. I liked the little "ask Bobkie" segments that they used to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_cyclist Posted July 7, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2014 I like all 3. It was interesting on Saturday that Christian did not lay the blame on Cavendish for the accident.... it was almost as if he thought it was part of cycling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudge ★ Posted July 7, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 7, 2014 I've been impressed with him too. Agree it's good to have someone well spoken who can comment on the recent goings on. I think he was trying to be very diplomatic, PC, however you want to say it about the crash; but I did get the impression he felt Cav was at fault. (Hell, look at the video; how does anyone think he WASN'T at fault?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Hell, look at the video; how does anyone think he WASN'T at fault?!) for sure it appeared Cavendish made an overly aggressive move.. to me. Pro cyclists might say it is a somewhat normal practice, and Cavendish was over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that CVV tried to hint that he thought it was Cav's fault, but felt it was not his place to throw Cav under the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I that case I will fall in line with you and Smudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted July 8, 2014 Share #10 Posted July 8, 2014 of course Cav wanted to win. Home ground with the Prince of Wales at the finish? He was doing everything he could, he took a huge risk, and now he's out of the Tour. That's bike racing. I caught some of CVV tonight. I liked him. I always did, actually. I thought he did great interviews when he was riding, but its nice to see him in the booth this year. Generally, I can't stand the morans NBC sticks in the broadcast booth, but I like Christian Vande Velde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted July 8, 2014 Share #11 Posted July 8, 2014 CVV...Local boy made good. He's doing well in the booth. Bobke is a blast. His book was a fun read too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
