Problems with Demare's gearing? It looked weird how he was spinning but going nowhere.
He had a rough night apparently. May be a little sick.

iiiiiiinnnteresting. Could mix things up at the finish then.

De Cauwer is still confident there will be echelons. Let's hope for some action.
I think he's just trying to keep viewers' attention.

Trek has moved to the front recently. This may be a sign that they are worried about echelons, but I am also just hoping that something happens before the finish.

They're trying to avoid falling asleep during this boring stage
 
I just want to (again) give some serious props to Matthew Keenan and Robbie McEwan and the great commentary team they make.

If there's a better commentary duo out there doing the TDF telecast I'd be interested to know who it is because these two are the best that I've heard in years!

Phil and Paul are almost a distant memory... :D

Well, in Denmark we work with trios. :cool:
And apparently there must always be a Sørensen in the box...

I'm watching the "NBC Gold" telecast that I have a subscription to, but they do the SBS telecast in Australia too which might have a link somewhere but I don't have it, sorry.

Are they good or do you wish you could gouge your ears out like I used to do listening to Phil and Paul? :lol:
Phil and Paul works great for my wife because they almost always make her fall sleep! :D

They're great.
Think the ability to make some really weird comments is a requirement to become a TdF commentator for Danish Tv2... for starters; we've got Chris Anker commentating.

I suppose weird comments are much more interesting than the flat out "wrong" comments that Phil and Paul make...
