Gen Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Maybe I'm being a bit of a nob, but every time I hear people saying "Knee Barley" I freak out.His surname is pronounced "Knee-Ba-Lee". Peter Sa-gan, not Peter Say-gun. Is it just me, or are there other nobs like me Not trying to correct anyone, like the grammar nazis, but a commentator/sports journalist's job is to find out how to correctly pronounce someone's name. It's Nibbles and Sagoosh. .. where have you been all morning
'Dale Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Darn dammit.. kids have bloody cricket practice all day.. first the one and then the other.. up and down in the car for me.
'Dale Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Mmmm.. Sagoosh checking out his ride for next year? He's wondering "How will that Tarmac wheelie on a 6% gradient?...."
Frosty Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 It's Nibbles and Sagoosh. .. where have you been all morning Is it pronounced Neebbles or Nib-bbles?

tombeej Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I agree but i think its only a matter of time before the Journo's come out and say the only reason he won was because Chris and Alberto weren't there. They're already asking it, in almost every interview he does now. Along with questions about a supposed relationship with Ferrari... Comes with the territory. The same questions, doesn't matter who is sitting in the chair each year.
'Dale Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 when will they reach the bottom of the climb ? Presumably the final climb hey, HautacamOr the legendary Tourmalet?
Slowbee Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Presumably the final climb hey, HautacamOr the legendary Tourmalet? tourmalet .. need to plan some go slow time
Frosty Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 when will they reach the bottom of the climb ?Define the bottom of the climb... looks like the 130Km mark?Nevermind, intermediate sprint is at the 61.5Km mark so about an hour from now (14:56)
