I watch Armstrong's podcast every day. It's mostly a lot of gibberish, with no organization and a lot of rambling. Which is interesting enough in itself, but doesn't add much to the overall sense of the Tour.
And Phil Liggett has always been an Armstrong fan, so it doesn't surprise me that he and Bobke brought Lance on for that interview. Lance will never fully redeem himself, but he's clawed his way back into some semblance of respectability for most people.
And love him or hate him, he knows bicycle racing.
Bobke is doing a surprisingly (to me) good job with the play by play. I enjoy the competition and the beautiful geography and history of the tour. Todays route was very interesting with all of its twists and turns and climbs.
Belated thanks for your reply. Interesting.

I know Phil and Bobke have been good friends with Lance Armstrong for years (especially Bobke, I think).
I was a big fan back in the day, can't stand him now. But you're right -- he DOES know bicycle racing.
