Liggett and Sherwen / TDF ????????
Is that it, are they permanently sidelined as the main Play by Play commentators.
LIKE, NOT!!!
Just bit the same, we are pissed over here at our house!
And where the Fuck id Jens?
______________
Liggett and Sherwen were told of the change in March. While Liggett is rapt for the Australians, he makes it clear it was a decision by Tour organisers ASO.

Phil and Paul mostly do the daytime/live broadcast and then for the evening shortened replay its mostly Bobke and Christian V V. Its been like that for a few years now I think. I prefer the shortened version on sprint stages but I prefer Phil and Paul. Not much more boring than 5 hours of a sprint stage except for a time trial.
Jens is on during the day.

Is this more a Sports Gold thing? Is the cable network coverage still got our regulars?
I wonder if the Sports Gold is the SBS coverage, this sucks!
I just tried the FUBO trial and turned off the NBCSG stream when I heard my boyz!
19.95 mo. for two months then I will quite it and go back to the NBCSG for the replay races.
When I started the FOBO stream [cast to Chromecast from Chrome] ans we heard the RIGHT voices, we both went "Thats Better"

Cable coverage
I'm just watching NBCSN and it's Phil, Paul and The Jensie. Phil: "Jens, I see you haven't lost your analytical mind."

We simply lost our minds not it hearing our boyz!
FUBO is the NBC Sports non gold live coverage. Commercials and all. The gold steam is sans the commercials FYI.
We will take the commercials..

The usual non perfect world. Last few km buffering buffering un Fubar... bo.
I quit it and waited for it to become a replay to catch it.
Start the Fubo relay of the stage, and no ability to fast forward. Forcing us to have to watch the entire replay of the 5+ hour stage and more importantly, the commercials.
So back to Sport Gold app and the Aussie commentary to play the last few kn from a replay, no commercials and ability to ff and rw etc.
I can't win. ;)
But quite the dramatic sprint/finish to the stage. ;) I won't say more so no spoiler.

Our broadcasters here in Australia have swapped from using Phil and Paul as commentators to Matt Keenan and Robbie McEwen. McEwen is pretty good, but Keenan has the annoying habit of wandering off into historical anecdotes and ignoring what's actually unfolding on the screen in front of him.

Yeah Nick, that is what Sports gold is streaming. My wife is a Brit, she think Aussies right after and almost as badly as Americans mess up the language way too much. ;)
