I actually sadly enough do watch it.. I watched the Girmo (one in Italy and yes I am spelling it wrong) I also am a HUGE fan of the ironman.. I will have to say the announcers make it worth while, if the announcers were bad I dotn think it would be as entertaining. I guess you can say that with anything.. I especially love the sprints at the end..
Since I dotn have cable I have been watching teh stuff on universal sports and wasnt aware it was on. Dont ask me name or teams. I just like them going VROOOM! Sad i know.

Thats funny...all the cyclists and triathletes I know hate the announcers! They just want to see the race. I find them entertaining.
I think the problem for most non cycling enthusiasts is that they don't understand the concept behind cycling. They just think its a bunch of guys riding their bikes fast. They don't understand that there is a team aspect. That the attachs, chases, domestiques are all for a goal wheather it be to get a stage win for there sprinter or climber or to get there GC (General Classification (overall)) guy where he needs to be.

See Billy, that is the part most of us don't understand but wish we did. Need actual ex competitors doing the announcing so they can bring us into the loop with the current racing technicno, like Steve Machett and David Hobbs do with their F1 broadcast on Speed. I actually do watch it,... not that I understand itThats funny...all the cyclists and triathletes I know hate the announcers! They just want to see the race. I find them entertaining.
