Looking for the World Champion to kick in the afterburners on S’Fermo Della Battaglia and Philgil to cover puppys ass and throw him into a quivering mass of indecision.

I would rather watch this in French than Phil and Paul on Versus (which I no longer have-Direct TV). Nothing against P and P but Versus’ coverage of Monuments has been on a steady decline since Paris Roubaix 2002.

I dunno if its Versus or Cycling...
…even this year’s coverage of the Baseball playoffs seems to involve nothing so much as Fox and TBS competing to see who can have the most pointless and inane commentary.
