Interesting that you talk about stalwart of the Tour Phil Liggett, he’s rather good, especially with Paul Sherwen but if you can get satellite channel Eurosport they sometimes have a commentator on called David Duffield who can easily talk full on for 6 hours on an all day stage and leaves all the other cycling commentators in his slipstream:-)
Any news on which riders are tweeting through the Giro? We’ve only had 2 stages and a prologue so far and it’s already looking like a top race!
Hey,
We did http://www.tourdetwitter.dk where all tweets from the riders are collected.
