    If ever there has been a more badly presented programme on TV, I have yet to see it… I have read many times that Greg Lemond is so up his own ar*e that its untrue, how correct those people are…. And he is superbly backed up by a bumbling foreign buffoon, who is equally as clueless…. Cycling is really in need of some knowledgable presenters… 🙁

    Isnt Lemond trying to rebuild
    Isnt Lemond trying to rebuild his bike brand after Armstrong did his best to destroy it? I think we can give Greg a break on that one eh?

    Im not a medical professional but im a little concerned by Greg’s little cough. It could be a nervous tic but he should get that seen too.

    I agree with a previous correspondent – he is awkward on the trivial but get him talking about racing and and tactics and he is cock on.

    I love Bernabinos accent – yesterday when Talansky was coming he said ‘I am getting chicken bumps!’
    I think he meant goose bumps bless him.

    Scratch what I said earlier, the number of shots they’ve given to the the LeMond bike in their random chat has put me right off, LeMond has blown it with his rampant commercialism…

    I guess because the show is live, as opposed to nicely edited, it all seems a bit awkward.
    LeMond is doing OK, I think. As expert on the subject at hand as it gets. He could, maybe, relax a bit.
    His co-host Stefano Bernabino apparently speaks an impressive number of different languages, this comes in really handy when doing interviews. Bernabinos English is, however, annoyingly hard to follow. It’s not just the pronunciation, it’s the cadence as well.
    The furniture used as a outdoor studio set is not good. What’s that supposed to be, anyway?

    I think it’s great. I like the fact that Greg asks questions that aren’t necessarily politically correct. It’s not super slick but I find that quite refreshing.

    Also you can’t fault his knowledge of the sport or this particular race.

    I just can’t get past Stefano’s orange trousers; way TMI going on there, if you get my drift. Similar to white bibshorts in the wet :&

    The astonishing thing is that they don’t appear to have screen tested Greg (he is sooooooooo excruciatingly bad in front of the camera) and decided that they had to find someone else.

    think Le Mond is crippled by nerves. When he’s talking about racing his persona changes he is relaxed and engaged and interesting. When he’s having to the gimmicky filler bits in between he’s like a 5 year old with stage fright at the school xmas play…

    Agreed……if Sherwin mentions Gallopin’s ‘big cycling family’ in order to get to ‘I rode with one of them on the La Redoute team’ one more time I’ll Gallop-In and throttle him.

    Seems a really nice fella and not up his own arse at all. Quite the opposite in fact.
    Seems humble and self deprecating.
