What! No 'The Cycle Show' thread?

I feel Graham Little is a bit out of his depth in some interviews but you can't fault his enthusiasm-I suppose he is stuck between accommodating long-term cycling fans and other members of the public who may not be as knowledgeable. I'm going to the recording of the Belfast edition next week, so it will be interesting to see how much is chopped out of the version that makes it to TV.

Haven't watched it yet, was planning to tonight. Whatever it's failings, I'm sure it will help pass the time pleasantly whilst ironing...

The show is stuffed full of useless information like which is better, a Specialized Venge or a Pinarello Dogma. Who cares?

I feel they also put too much emphasis on celebrities of cycling, e.g. they have guests on like Graeme Obree, Alex Dowsett, Eddy Merckx. They could do to dial down the brown-nosing and show us some real locations and bike rides that ordinary people are doing.

Missed it, but well remember the car crash that was Graham Obree and Gary Fisher on together, the pair of them were a pair of juddering loons and they had no video to cut away to. Hope it is slicker this year.

Well I guess people on here will want a roadie specific show, but I can't imagine producers see enough demand to warrant that

What they have instead provided is a bit simplistic and diluted however it's better than nothing, and you have to start somewhere

I'll be watching next week

I agree. The show may be a little simplistic to dyed in the wool cyclists but the sport is growing in popularity and its great that cycling is becoming mainstream. The hour long programme is much improved over the half hour format.
