I know there have been several "Vs sucks" threads lately, but I thought I'd pick up this one again.
Sherwin has been doing most stages of TdS alone, and I must say, I prefer him by himself. No, he doesn't always recognize the particular riders from the video, and guesses wrong sometimes. But basically he's knowledgeably calling the race, w/ relatively little Armstrong talk considering.
I may have low standards, but I prefer watching on TV, and Sherwin's broadcasting has been something of a relief. His comments on the crash in today's stage 4, which I had read about and seen pictures of before watching the broadcast, shown from 6 to 7 pm around here, were reasonable and fair, attributing blame to both Hausller and Cavendish, and remarking on the low spirits of everybody after the finish. No where near the "all LA all the time" I'd been led to expect, and felt I was close to seeing during California.
