Ghader Mizbani was supposed to sign with an italian team some years ago (can't recall its name, guess Cinelli).
 
renaat and jose are really good

but wuyts...well he was very good and i always liked him but the past 2 years i find him increasingly tiresome and annoying. his ego has grown so much that it's almost unbearable. Same with karl vannieuwkerke

Wuyts is ok, Karl is annoying though :p

José is the best. Knows a lot about cycling and he was the man behind Lemond's succes in '89

yep Jose is awesome:p Vannieuwkerke indeed got annoying (due to his ego?) and bias. Wuyts has stayed more or less the same imo, but thank God he can't fanboy Armstrong anymore.. I remember the cobbled stage of le tour last year

NOS, don't you love them? No live Giro coverage, their reporters were all in Iran.

Their coverage for the Giro was very dissapointing indeed, but I don't think you can blaim them. The dutch people that watch the giro are more likely to watch it on Sporza than on the NOS.

Besides that I think it's good they make these kind of reports. I think it's interesting. (I haven't seen it yet, since I'm at work with no sound and my own pc died on me 2 days ago. I expect it to be interesting though :) )

Renaat and Jose did the Giro didn't they? Well after 1 of the others left Jose joined Renaat didn't he?
Jose is brilliant. His knowledge is very big and Renaat is the guy that keeps on talking, but he does get corrected by Jose often. Which imo was quite funny at times.
Personally I didn't think Renaat was that brilliant, but it was ok.

Why? Renaat and Jose _O_

I actually have no idea why you guys like Renaat. He has a sh*tty voice and I feel like he has no idea how to keep things interesting. Renaat is good at what he does normally: being the guy in the field. Taking interviews, making his way through the crowd, that stuff. But hearing him talk for a whole stage really gets boring as hell.

Wuyts is a bit of an ego-tripper, but I like what he does, he still keeps it pretty fresh after all these years.

Vannieuwkerke bothers me. He is very self-centered and is a bit vulgar as well.

Jose I like, Tom Steels is very interesting when he talks about sprinting and the technical aspects of the sport, but mostly boring in every other way.

They had some French sounding commentator in ToB and Suisse. He was very good.
