[sethelliottmeyer]

Will there be a daily TdF podcast again in 2010? Great work on the last couple years, I hope we can expect a daily one again this July!

Did you like it?

I hated Daniel Freibe and his freinds. The just crapped on thought the podcast was all about themselves. Bring in Benson and Jones who produce a high quality and humourous podcast every week.

The podcast will indeed return - we'll probably kick off with one later this week, once we're all in Rotterdam. We're arriving over the next few days. Friebe, Richard Moore, Anthony Tan, myself and other more coherent and sophisticated guests will host and present them.

On a side note, thanks for the comments on the Gary Imlach podcast. It was a lot of fun to do and he had some interesting things to say. We'll hope to do more, similar podcasts after the Tour.

Thanks

Dan

That is good! Tan, Moore and yourself are a great team!

Dan (or any other CN employee),
Any news on the pre tour podcast?

[auscyclefan94]

Less than 24 hrs in and NO podcast!

 

[Daniel Benson]

Tour starts later today. We recorded a cast last night and it should be up at some point today.

Having trouble with Podcast. It says the URL ....... could not be found on the server. Can anybody help me with this? I am using an up to date version of Itunes to get it if that helps.

 

[Juanho]

I think there may be a problem with the feed as I can't get anything on Winamp either.

[wakebrdnfool]

[Susan Westemeyer]

Nope, still not working. I tried both the prologue podcast and the stage 1 podcast but non of them opens - URL not found...

 

[auscyclefan94]

Still not working!

 

[Straßenrennen]

still (sorry i just wanted to feel special also).

 

[wakebrdnfool]

Stage 1 & Stage 2 are working for me today... thank you for whatever change was made.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Thanks for getting it working guys. I found richard moore and dan freibe's comments about BMC pretty unfair in the stage 1 podcast as a lot of other teams have not taken as much action as they have this when it comes to doping. Again that freibe is a muppet
Here is his terrible article about evans which shows his very low quality journalism.

[auscyclefan94]

NO podcast stage 3?

 

[auscyclefan94]

Are there any podcast that aren't filled with Poms making excuse after excuse after excuse for Cavendish?

If there is... PLEASE PM ME!!!!

 

[auscyclefan94]

Won't be downloading today's podcast! Freibe and Moore are unbelievable about the way they crap on about Cav and wiggins and sky. Then the ITV one is worse with Rendall and boardman making excuses every ten seconds for Cav and wiggans failings.

You're probably the last person I'd expect to take a poke at someone for supporting their countrymen!

Who rides for that team again?

But the British are the British, so you'll get that a bit, and us Aussies are largely British, so I guess we do it a bit too

Yes but I am not a journalist. I am a fanboy and if I were a journalist or presenter I would give a lot less bias.

 

[Greg Johnson]

True.

Not sure I entirely agree there. If you were a journalist for an Australian publication, you'd be talking a lot about Australian riders - true? If you didn't, you'd find yourself unemployed rather quickly

Here you have one guy who is a former competitor and writes for a major British paper and the other for a major British cycling magazine, who is also Cavendish's biographer. It's natural that they will talk about the Brits a bit more, because it's what they write about most and we're very lucky to have their insight on that area.

Perhaps you would suggest however that we balance that out with someone providing comments that provide a broader spread of the field?

Yes, but it seems to me that the people on the podcast are there to give a wide spectrum of the race and not just talk about cav or wiggins for 20 mins. That is why I listen to the CN podcast because the ITV podcast is also the Cav and wiggo show. Dan benson who is british and jeff jones who I believe to be australian give wider spectrum of the things they talk about and are not racially bias towards riders.

CN is supposed to be a main media outlet for English speaking nations to get news on Cycling. I understand that you would talk more about english speaking riders than non-english speaking riders but a broader range of topics would be much appreciated. Talking about how "BMC are not doing enough about doping" is a hypocritical comment as firstly you would have to talk about other teams and secondly they actuallu suspended riders when they were under investigation.

I would appreciate that part in bold.
