Hamish A, I like Phil and Paul and don’t think they’re best of a bad bunch. Only rivals they have in any sport or Jon Miller and Joe Morgan in baseball. I don’t, however, like the incessant Lance Armstrong references. Were it not for the LA references, I would listen to Phil and Paul on the radio.

Mark, doesn’t that just reflect on how poorly off we Cycling fans are if Paul & Phil are considered the best? I’ll give them ‘best of a bad bunch’ ;-)

A team with four leaders, four climbing LTs., and a domestique. The Domestique will keel over dead in the first week.

Great comments everybody! ClydeSteve, you totally made me spew my beer and busting a gut! The people in the room next door are probably wondering what’s going on over here (I’m in a somewhat shabby hotel, saving all the big buckaroos from my per-diem for bike stuff). Funny stuff everybody! Ahhh…tour time….and the month of July just vanishes before my eyes once again. LOVE THAT DVR is all I can say!

Not only are you now on Joe Lindsey’s blogroll, his blog today says “This report brought to you by the Fat Cyclist” and he’s got a whole section talking about you.

You may have more superpowers than you realize.

“I’m just dreading the barrage of Phil & Paul that goes with it.”

Hamish A, it’s time to put down the crack pipe. Did you watch the Giro!? Unless you did, you have no idea how bad cycling commentators can be. Who do you want instead, Al Trautwig and Craig Hummer?

Paul and Phil are the best English-language cycling commentators in the business. Everyone else is enough to make me turn down the volume on the television.

It will all get sorted out naturally. It will be like in ‘ten little indians’.
First one gets hurt in a big stage 1 pile up (that generally is Kloden)
Second gets dropped on the way to Andorra Arcalis (that might be Levi)
Third isn’t allowed to follow when fourth attacks (since Contador is too nervous, he will attack first, leaving Lance to hang with Evans…)

Fatty posts this at 5.49pm and a mere 14 hours later (possibly – I can’t quite deal with the time changes) Astana are forced into making an announcement – you truly are a mover and shaker of the two-wheeled world…http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/other_sports/cycling/8119316.stm
