Richard F Posted July 6, 2019 Share Oh God, just turned on the first day of the Tour and the bloody Aussies are back!! after the Classic`s and the Giro I really thought we had heard the last of them but no, not to be. 3 weeks of hearing from Matty, Robbie, Stuie, Davey and anybody elsie that you can add a Y or an IE to the end of their name. 3 weeks of hearing how Richie would be 5 minutes up if only he could stay on his bike for the first week, how any Bonza Frog Aussie within 2 hours of the leader is still in with a chance because he won a few races as a school boy and because he`s an Aussie, ditto if he`s a Kiwi but only if he`s an hour down because they don`t make `em like they do in Aus across the Tasmanian, how Calabie is a GC contender if only he could get over a mountain. And worst of all, how far can Matty get up little Petie Sagan`s arse this year before the Australian government does the right thing and makes him an Honorary Aussie because he was seen talking to an Aussie sometime ago and he`s nearly good enough to be one!! the best days are going to be the rest days. A stock market tip to finish with: buy shares in companies that make question marks as this lot use one per comment and anywhere between 2 and 6 with any question, companies won`t be able to keep up with production.

Jewbacca Posted July 6, 2019 Share S'truth mate... That's some fair dinkum ranting! Make a cuppa, chow a sanga, smash some TimTams, throw another shrimp on the barbie and be grateful these true blue fellas can at least get the riders names right.......

kosmonooit Posted July 6, 2019 Share Common they are not too bad although Matt can gaan aan a bit much - the one I loathe is Carlton Kirby who unfortunately is on Eurosport International feed. Eurosport UK has Rob Hatch whom I enjoy, and possibly Sean Kelly. NBC has our mate Phil and Bob Roll, with a few ex pro helpers.

Bonus Posted July 6, 2019 Share My commentary is all in Spanish - which means I get to pick out the important bits when a riders name is mentioned but all the rest I tune out as "quiet noise". FondTF2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me rida my bicycle Posted July 7, 2019 Share Could have been worse. Imagine someone with a heavy Scottish accent or Welsh accent, you would not be able to understand half of what they are saying ???? you get so upset over sport do you beat your girlfriend/boyfriend when the Bulls lose? Relax you will give yourself a heart attack. Edited July 7, 2019 by Me rida my bicycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat Saffers in NZ, however? It's like they've gone back 100 years.
