so, i have to admit i've been listening more and more to David Harmon & Sean Kelly on euroSport yahoo! for my tour de france (and other races) pxp & color commentary.
if you're in the usa, and am foolish enough to try to follow professional cycling (especially pre-internet age), then Phil & Paul are the voices of the sport. ("gwwwah, and this is life at the back." "yep, when the legs are gone, it's lights out in the engine room.")
i don't know. maybe it's just "different" than who i've been listening to for years. maybe it's Sean Kelly is more of a name than Sherwin. maybe it's the challenge of trying to understand what the %&$# Sean Kelly is mumbling about.
kinda wish my french was better so i could understand Ja-ja Jalabert, 'cause i've read he's a great color man. mais, je ne comprendre pas.
of course, i'd listen to cats being tortured before being subjected to some past TdF commentators, such as James Brown (yes, the NFL studio guy) and Arman Keteyian (unlistenable at any speed). you could just tell that they did it just to write off a summer vacation trip to paris.
