Am sick of his bizarre scanarios and blatant plugs for personal sponsors. Porter was past his best but still far better than Harmon who is and will always be a tool.

Yes, but some of us 'yanks' find him somewhat humorous, not specifically for his commentary per say but for the fact that we simply cant understanding what the heck is saying half the time. _________________ Michael - The Anaerobic Threshold is neither...

I cringed during the road races at the Olympics last year, and I totally agree about Harmon and Kelly, very good commentators both of them. Now if we could just get rid of Laurel and Hardy, ie Liggett and his idiot mate Sherwin, job done!

You just need knowledge of the sport and be able to commentate. _________________ "Step forward the climber and all those who worship at the altar of lightness" - R. Millar
