It did actually briefly cross my mind that he is quite good at ad-libbing nonsense and I wondered if he had planned some of it - but then I was distracted.
I shouldn't complain though, so let me frame my thoughts in a more positive way - the ITV4 coverage has been, and is consistently superb, and I'm very grateful for it. Ned Boulting is great, I have to admit that Millar is really good too, and Pete Kennaugh has got loads better as well.

I criss cross between sources. Depends how busy I am and when I get to watch it.
I like the GCN intro stuff with Orla but some times I'll just watch the ITV4 stuff on the tv coz I'm on the sofa already or whatever. -
Have been watching S4C (on freesat which is broadcast in HD, unlike itv4) with the sound off (sadly have zero knowledge of Welsh) and then listening to the itv commentary. Has worked well. Except for the couple of stages where s4c decided to broadcast some kind of rural show instead of the tour.

Personally, I think it's impressive how much random stuff he can throw in while still pointing out riders. I'm watching the race anyway, the commentary is background noise.
We have this "I don't like commentator x" thing every year. So now we have the "we have this commentator thing every year" every year.
