I agree,Helen.Too many of these commentators make nothing of crashes and dangerous riding nowadays and are so disrespectful to the slower riders,who,let's face it,are trying their best on often inferior machinery.
Most of the lads will probably disagree with me,but the one I find totally offensive is Jack Burnicle.Most ladies of the paddock deserve recognition,especially riders' wives and girlfriends,but he is obsessed with talking about "luvly,leggy,blondes", etc., etc. We girls watch too,and we don't need to hear stupid comments about guys bums etc.Suzy Perry never makes offensive comments.
My own personal favourite commentators are Eurosport's Ben Edwards and Mark Cole,especially when they cover the Dakar rally.Several women compete in that,at the highest level,and all we hear are knowledgeable remarks about their performances and backgrounds.
I wait to be shot down in flames!!
