'Twas too bad. Headed to a top-10 until he lost it.

Hands up anybody who really enjoys watching TV coverage of a prologue?

How many times can Phil and Paul get faked into saying "oh, this looks like a good time" as they watch 3rd party coverage of a rider somewhere in the home stretch with the clock a few seconds short of the winning time, only to pull back and find there's a lot of stretch to cover and the rider comes in 10 seconds down in 30th place? How much insight do they give on why the early times are holding up and the later times all stink when they don't have good reports on wind speed and direction?

It all devolves to seeing 30 riders pedaling in TT position for a few seconds at a time with nothing much on the line. Hey Cunego, 104th. Whatever!

Prologues are for live viewing so people can be sure to see their favorites, and occasionally they give a glimpse of the future (Cancellara) or of relative form (Armstrong vs. Ulrich) in a key race. We need to see 60 minutes of same-day Paris Nice prologue and how many minutes of the entire two-weeks-delayed Vuelta???
