Look like he knows something that we don't...
"Basso racing in the Tour de France," Prudhomme questioned to La
Gazzetta dello Sport. "I know that all Italians are interested in
this. It is a valid question but now I am not able to respond. We will
see"
"I don't have the pieces to confirm it, but I have the feeling that
there will (be) more revelations."

I just watched the stage again, and it was Armstrong not Julich, and
it was Armstrong's natural position
that he was veling at. For the whole hour, he was saying that
Armstrong had put a shell under his
skinsuit in the style of downhill skiers and motorcycle racers and
that, like him or hate him, you had to
respect Armstrong for his introduction of technology. Jeez...

Well, Thevenet is the most knowledgeable and precise person I've ever
heard
commentating, so it's too bad they stopped using him for the Tour,
though he's
still doing the other races. I've always avoided Eurosport in French
because of Fignon,
J.F. Bernard, and Virenque. The one time I heard Bernard, I didn't
recognise his voice and
kept wondering who the idiot was who was railing that riding big
gears does not cause or aggravate knee problems.

Especially since his predecessor, Patrick Chene, was much better. I'm
not sure why, but that person ended up banished from the PAF (paysage
audiovisuel francais). Just to make Prudhomme look good, they replaced
him with Christophe Josse, who didn' know anything about cycling and I
don't think the gave the poor guy much time to study up on it before
handing him the job, for example, he spent the whole of Julich's final
ITT veling at his great aerodynamic form, though it should be noted
that it took about an hour for expert commentators Thevenet and
Jalabert to figure out that the had in fact put a Camelbak inside his
skinsuit.

Actually I switched to watching the TDF on Eurosport or even better
the Swiss Channels, these guys crack me up, especially Bertrand
Dubout, the French speaking Phil Ligget for the story telling, and
rustic to the point where he was more or less accusing DSC to be a
bunch of dopers. They guys with him is very knwoledgeable, I think
he'll be organizing the Tour of Romandie this year.

It's my impression that Prudhomme is just a puppet for the ASO
bigshots. If I'm not mistaken, he was never a rider, and when he was
TV commentator, he never had anything particularly interesting to say.
It is my impression that Daniel Baal was being groomed as Leblanc's
replacement but he was let go when he started expressing too many
personal opinions, so they picked Prudhomme who is just a "super fan"
of the Tour and who will do anything he's told.

I must say that Prudhomme did a hideous job commentating the most
thrilling TDF in recent history the 2003 tour. He was alternativaly
overdoing it and missing obvious points.

I would say the same thing, and I assure you I don't know anything you
don't know.
Who doesn't think that there are pretty good odds Puerto isn't done
with Basso?
