This is the first time I watched one of these (saw it on YouTube). I must agree, it was incredibly awkward. The riders looked completely disinterested in all the shenanigans they were "forced" to take part in, and the interviews were just painful. Even if everyone spoke the same language (some of these guys were clearly struggling with English), this would have been awkward, but with the various language problems, coupled with how weird the whole thing was, it was somewhat painful to watch!Electress said:As always these things more than slightly cringworthy. Must say Sky have those worrying lollypop headed look about them. Alberto looked pensive, Petr like the lost BeeGee.
