I'd like to know how they managed to keep the picture whilst the riders went through some of the underpasses.
There were also some quite long tunnels on the Olympic road race route where the live motorcycle pictures continued. Perhaps the Chinese had installed some receivers in the tunnels? John |

Come to think about it, I'm a bit surprised Hugh Porter is not commentating on the Paralympic cycling. Anyone knows who's doing that? |

John David Harmon said it was something to do with the fact that on a shorter criterium loop they can put the same number of recievers that they would use on a race like the Tour closer together. That then provides a stronger signal which allows them to get pictures from inside a tunnel. |

I know what you mean, but on the Tour de France they use helicopters and planes - difficult inside a tunnel

Just watched some of the Athletics from Friday night and Stuart Storey was superb. He really is a class act. BBC's loss will be Setanta's gain.

Sale v Saracens - Simon Ward Bath v Gloucester - Bob Symonds (off tube) Leicester v L Irish - Simon Ward and Magners League on Setanta over the last 3 days:- Cardiff Blues V Ulster (Friday) - Tulsen Tollett (Host) Killian Keane and Emmett Byrne as Studio Guests. Fred Cogley and Peter McKenna as Commentary Team Leinster V Edinburgh (Friday) - Connor Morris and Reggie Corrigan as Commentary Team. Didn't catch guests, but reporter Ray McMenamin came out with the 'no shit sherlock!' line that most of the people in the new stand behind him would be behind the Home Team. |

He's had a busy time of it recently: from the Olympics to the Tour of Britain to the World Championships with hardly any break. |

It was Connor Morris and John Kelly on Setanta's Magners League duty for Munster (in their newly refurbished Limerick home) against Glasgow Warriors.
I saw a bit of the Super League Grand Final on Sky Sports 1 earlier, and by god did the Graphics team go into CGI overdrive! |

Ian, they always do for the SL Grand Final. They had their biggest team of the season on board and to be fair they were excellent. As they always are.

Will Chignell and Dick Best for Bristol's European Challenge Cup RU match at Montpellier on Sky Sports 2.
DB has just nearly avoided saying the misheard Colemanball of a player 'opening his legs and showing his class' phrase. Last edited by Ian Cleverly : 10-10-2008 at 18:14. Reason: adding wiki-wiki-wikipedia link for explanation of 'Colemanball' |

Mark Robson and Stuart Barnes on Heineken Cup RU duty for Sky Sports 2. Alex Payne hosting from a different studio set-up to the one Setanta used last week (it's more central).

Apparently, it's Legard and Brundle on commentary duty, analysis from the two Eddies, Irvine and Jordan... with Jake Humphrey presenting - we shall see....
Who's doing the Klitschko fight on Setanta tonight? |
