Tejay needs to look at the bright side of this... he beat the US Timetrial champion and the TDF winner.

You´d get a cookie if you convinced them

Did they say it was? I had the tracker on mute. Can't stand them.

So was just looking at the leaderboard and such, but I think this race currently helps to justify the whole idea of PCM giving a bonus to riders riding in their home country/region.

One said he was disappointed by Gesink because he is such a strong climber but hadn´t a top time on the uphill TT.

TV picture is disappointing. From a U.S. perspective, Liggett and Sherwan are good commentators. You should see the commentators for the Vuelta coverage in the U.S., it is horrible. Typical U.S. style of thinking they have to make everything exciting for the audience by shouting as much as they can about nothing. |

the riders had to get in a car, drive 10 miles down the interstate to get to it.
It's just little things like that, they are dumb.

Contrary to popular belief, we do have exciting races. It's the ones that aren't televised that don't suck

Hahaha.
He said the broadcast and race planning sucked (basically) he didn't say the country, the United States of America sucked.
And the fact the organizers put so much hype into the race, its been a huge let-down, and I think thats the main reason there are so many compliants.
And if you think Eurosport sucks, then fine by us, but you're really missing out. Even I agree Eurosport is much better, and I like P&P too. Its insane how rich you'd be if you got a penny for every time Phil or Paul got a name wrong
Edit:
Also agree with Levi's comment.

As an American, I agree, Ligget, Sherwin and their ilk blow. I'd much rather watch Sporza, OR since I don't speak flemish, play a random sporza sound bite over the racing.

i agree about the race organizers but it is the first race so you cant blame them for being hyped up. and the commentators for eurosports dont give any information
