    Magnus Backstedt is good as is Brian Smith...they do know there stuff but I prefer to listen to Kelly becasue I prefer his voice to theirs and he is just as good if not better on tactics,etc

    Its a matter of aesthetics ;)

    What happened to Declan Quickley ...has he got the elbow ??

    He commentated for Eurosport on Matthais Brandles's hour record attempt back in September. He's probably still part of the Eurosport commentary team, but behind Carlton Kirby, Rob Hatch and Matt Stevens in the pecking order.

    Rob Hatch has tweeted that he will be commentating on the Strade Bianche on Saturday. And then Paris-Nice on Sunday with Kelly.

    Apologies if any offence taken, Lusk Doyle, 'twas meant with tongue in cheek. To be honest, each to their own. I'm just happy to watch any cycling coverage.

    You should never apologise for offending lusk doyle. If anything, you should be applauded for offending lusk doyle.

    No harm if he has. His voice isn't suited to commentary IMO.

    I refuse to applaud anything so easily done. Lusk_Doyle scans every word to find anything that might be fodder for offence, carefully draws you out into compounding the offence and then ties himself to the stake and hands you the matches. See earlier in this thread for details.

    I'm with him on Magnus over Kelly though.

    No, none taken. My response was meant with the same tongue in cheek as yours.

    Eurosport have taken to doing more with less as far as the commentary has gone, since Harmon left they've tried to reduce their overheads by spreading bigger events amongst cheaper contractors. They had a bit of a spat with Kelly over him coming home to do the Sean Kelly Tour as it clashed with the start of the Vuelta, so I don't think they are trying to give us more commentators, just using each of them to lower their costs.

    Also I can't stand Matt Stephens, I'd rather listen to Kirby. And that's saying a lot.
