I may spare you all the Giro, the Vuelta, and the Tour de Suisse, etc. And I'll be merciful here and give you only two rules, following today's Commerce Bank International race:
1. Don't fuck with the big boys: i.e. T-Mobile and, of course, CSC.
2. Don't waste your time with American commentators. Bob Roll may annoy the shit out of you, but he knows what he's talking about down to a cellular level. Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwin may occasionally say things like "He must open his suitcase of courage," but they're never gonna say, "Uh...it's a blue jersey, I can't see what team...." Unless, of course, they immediately follow it with who the rider actually is, his team, his history, and quite possibly his blood type.
Thank G-d for VS. I'll wait til their coverage.
