It's bloody awful, and that's coming from from a fair weather riding ignorant part timer like myself.
Cringe worthy at best

I took a swat at the BBC yesterday for the race coverage. It turns out that I was wrong to do because apparently the IOC controls the TV output from a wholly owned Spanish subsidiary. It doesn't change the fact that Jill Douglas was a disgrace with Vino though. Jake Humphrey has done his cycling homework over the last 6 months though and is doing an OK job. Boardman as good as ever. Porter has reached his Duffield stage and should have been retired a few years back.piemonster said:It's bloody awful, and that's coming from from a fair weather riding ignorant part timer like myself.

For many it's a case of affordability.Waterloo Sunrise said:Unlike most of the teenage Murdoch haters around here, I dance a jig of joy everytime Sky take some more coverage from the BBC.

Well, when's the next time BBC will broadcast cycling? I guess in Rio 2016.Howard Thomas said:Arnout,
Perhaps you could write in and tell BBC (and the others) how to pronounce your surnames! I cringe every time I hear 'BOOOM!!'.
If Jill Douglas is an example of Sky, for whom she used to work, then I'm glad I haven't got it. Thanks for the info about primary coverage. It had to be so, because BBC is excellent at sports and it is fatuous to write otherwise. Doesn't mean that Sky is never better, that's not the point. It also explains why the cultural and tourist side was so awful - same again today I supposeLugHugger said:I took a swat at the BBC yesterday for the race coverage.

I think Inudrain was better.
Also, apparently Valverde has podiumed the Tour de France and Geelong world championships, were in Belgium with Gilbert attacking in front of his home crowd.

On another note, does anyone know where I could find a full replay? Or at least a replay from the start of the laps of Box Hill?
You'll find the BBC Olympic channels via this site. The cycling was on Olympics 3.Caruut said:That was hilarious.
