Subject: RE: TDF Stage 11 DISCUSSION - SPOILER ALERT!wgraves7582 - 2009-07-15 9:04 AM I love the history lesson that you get by watching the tour on TV. I wonder if these commentators know all this or are just fed it by their helpers? Amazing stuff to be learned for sure! Well, Phil Ligget has reported on 30 years of TDF I think. I think he actually raced the original TDF. He just gets lost trying to figure-out who's who on the television because he calls it a picture-radio and he's not so much watching as he's listening for their breathing patterns. Phil- "I believe that's Lance Armstrong there--" Paul- "Actually Phil that's Tom Boonen..." Phil- "Oh of course, that's the black and red and white yellow jersey and the slower breathing pattern of the Belgian national champion..." Edited by GomesBolt 2009-07-15 8:11 AM
