"Look at him now, he'll be Screwing ..uh, the screw" I think he clearly meant tightening the screw

I was delighted that Harmon was predicting Rolland would come-off on the descent but Sean was insisting he wouldn't (though of course I wasn't happy or enthusiastic for the rider to actually crash), and I was thinking the same thing, that he was looking sketchy and a crash seemed inevitable.

"And look at Nibali! 2 Minutes 30! He is riding himself into yellow tonight"
"Actually Phil, you're looking at Rolland's time"
I remember the one about screwing the screw too.
alberto.legstrong said:Nothing really about Phil and Paul here. Sorry if mis-posted. Did anyone see the little commentary at the start of Wednesday's broadcast? Roll tried to stick up for Sky (Wiggins, the hero of this new Bread and Water era, GAG!! Does this guy - Roll- even have a conscience?) and Moninger had his little say about how it can take 10 or 12 years for the dopers to finally be brought to justice. The producers or whomever didn't have Roll on screen when he was stating that but I don't think I needed to see him to know his face must have been totally twisted to have to hear that on a broadcast. Taking the lord's name in vain. I have no doubt there were repercussions during that commercial break or subsequently.

orangerider said:They only stopped mentioning his name part way into this year. Speculation is that a directive was given to forbid the LA name as much as possible, due to the current negative publicity of the man. The prologue was filled with LA references, which sickened a lot of stomaches.
