It's like listening to MLB announcers. 99% of the time it's just them talking for the sake of talking.
I can talk about nothing for extended periods, according to TriSpouse, but I take my hat off to people like Phil & Paul. They do a stellar job. I mean, in essence, it's pretty much the same every year. A bunch of guys ride their bikes around France. Up hills, down hills, through the countryside and towns. A bunch of times, they fall off.
While baseball and other commentators can talk for several hours about nothing in particular, Phil and Paul do it day after day, week after week and year after year. Hell, they start at the Tour Down Under and get fully warmed up by July, and carry on for all sorts of other races in between and after. I take my hat off to them.
Come to think of it, I come to work every day, 250 odd days a year. Every day I do engineering, go to meetings to talk about engineering, write reports and specifications about engineering and I've been doing it for 30 years! I'm at least as good at my job as they are at theirs. Well maybe not. They sound mildly interested. I'm clearly bored stiff by engineering work. LOL
