Rob Warner. On his own, For any sport ever. Most are too rude to print (esp before Redbull took over freecaster and seemed to muzzle him a bit), but here are some:

 

"Ah man he's all over the place like a monkey trying to dry hump a football".

"hes locked in the hotseat like an Austrian in a basement"

"That's as popular as a ginger-haired step child"

"Steve Peat has done more for Downhill Mountain Biking than Osama Bin Laden has done for terrorism"

"Nick Beer; the man with the perfect name"

"Join us tomorrow for the downhill, live and exclusive on Freecaster, well, not if you've got Eurosport but their commentary sucks.... I mean that, I swear they just make it up on the spot, so watch it here."

Is it just me , or is Paul Sherwin past his sell by date ?

Phil is still bearable , but Paul is really irritating .

I find the 2 guys whose commentary we heard for some of the 1 day classics far more jovial , entertaining , and enlightening . I know the one guy is Carlton Kirby .

 

Seems to me Paul Sherwin feels that he has to talk ALL the time , so he tries to be over eloquent , and subsequently yesterday the TDF passed through an area where , to quote , " milk is grown "??

 

On the plus side , the scenery is ALWAYS spectacular , and the racing has been some of the best I can remember , for a very long time .

I would vote for José Been (breath of fresh air in the stodgy cycling commentary environment), she comments on Eurosport and really know her stuff, the guys could learn a trick or 10 from her, Phil and Paul, they have grown lazy with their commentary and in general is painful to listen to. 

Also she can multi-media, knows how to use social media,  speaks several languages and LOVES the sport. 

 

There if fixed it
