Snappy TV coverage
      #32147 - 27/08/2008 21:09

Great to see cycling on TV, but one hour for a stage of the Tour of Ireland, is that too much? I think so, would not like to see things go the way of snooker and I live in Sheffield.

I thought the coverage was really good, the clips of the action were well chosen and there were good interviews.
Nowt wrong with an hour on an obscure channel, if you think it's too much don't watch it.

After all the coverage of cycling we haven't had over the decades we should be asking for more, not less!

Not sure why we had to endure a load of stuff about Gaelic football, it's not as if they'd interrupt a ManU match to show things happening at the velodrome, is it?

Stunning scenery, though, great ad for tourism (narrow, oily roads notwithstanding, which is why so many riders fell off, I guess).

Narrow tyres at too high pressure for the conditions. They'd have been faster on 25Cs run a tad softer.

Hated the Gary Imlach stuff because of the crapground music virtually drowning out the talking.

And why does he have to keep saying "the front end of the group"? It's the front of the group!
