Rob Hatch knows his stuff and obviously works really, really hard but he has the 'commentator style' and the other ones on during the Giro, the ex riders, always sound more like they are having a conversation, like they are talking to a person rather than an audience. I think he does have the respect of the ex-riders though which I can't imagine Kirby does at all. That's what I think, anyway.
