 I respect Cedric’s racing experience and knowledge but his commentary is terrible.

 Leprechaun one: 'Wow!'

Leprechaun two: 'Looks like he's on a run in Andorra!'

 I counted the phrase "cranking hard" 5 times watching 9 junior women's runs.

 @ceecee: it's Pal Arinsal in Andorra.

Does that annoy anyone else? Val Di Sol Trentino was irritating me too. Just call it bloody Val Di Sole.

The coverage is balls.

 Agreed. He adds absolutely no value whatsoever.

 Elliot and Rob were my favourite combo. That said- would be really interesting to get PB's own Ben Cathro in the booth based on his encyclopedic knowledge of tracks, technique and racing. I don't think the current commentators do much other than think out loud on a mic- with all due respect to Cedric's legend status as a rider and innovator.

 @Davec85: I assume these are marketing names for the places that he has to say.

 @Davec85: the 'looks like a run' part was the most confusing as until then I had no doubt of it. Luckily the Andorra part was no problem or I might have been complaining about Pal Arsinal--pronounced like the word for a collection of military weapons. Hats off to the fellow who wrote the commence-all joke elsewhere

 Worst camera work of the season so far. Who chose those locations?!?

 Same guy that directed The Blair Witch Project.

 TV direction's as terrible as ever. 30 seconds of Sacha Mills's run was just watching trees sway in the wind.

 Unbearable to listen to with that double audio feed and Cedric's non stop mouth.

 Who picked some of these camera locations? Some of them are way too close, basically just a blur of the ridder going by, others are at weird angles through the trees where you can barely see the rider.

We want to see the trail, bike, and rider, not the back of spectators heads in the foreground.
