Get rid of Idiot girl

Cycling fans don't give a crap about some f*#king idiot girl making fun of a time trial bike because she doesn't know what it is. Hopefully that was a one time mistake!
Show 2 hours of cycling if that's what you promote. We don't need a replay of old footage again and again and again...................

Agreed, coverage is terrible so far. You'd have think they'd have learned with Kirsten Gump orwhatever her name was a few years ago ...

How can they get the best cycling announcers in the world and create a crappy show

Please, please, please---lose the chick.

That was an embarrassment for Versus

(I'd expect that kind of stupidity on Conan O'Brian...but not on Versus ToC, or any other cycling coverage)

agreed - [size=24]SHE IS AWFUL. Seriously she's not even good looking and she was wearing layers of clothes. Who the heck hired her?[/size]

They obviously forgot when they tried to do an idot show with the Cutters, a bunch of drunk kids at the Tour. They pulled it after a few days. Hopefully the idiot girl will never be back

Who comes up with these ideas?
She's not as bad as that idiot a few years ago who urged us to stay tuned because there were bound to be more crashes coming up.
But as adorable as this young woman no doubt is, I don't really think she's going to attract new fans to cycling and those of us who already like cycling want more cycling information - and less stupid stuff like this.

First time out, I'm willing to give the chick a break. Versus has to do stuff like this to keep some fans interested. I find it pretty boring watching these guys turn the cranks. There is so much more to the sport. And lets face it, a time trial bike is a strange piece of machinery. BUt Versus blew the coverage today. I really don't care for Landis, Hamilton and Armstrong, but to have the three of them back racing in the biggest American race, not to mention the other top-notch riders in the field, and to essentially ignore that angle...that's crappy coverage.

I could not agree MORE-I will be/am watching TOC on the computer and the second clip I saw was that mess of a girl. First of all, the goal was to have a cute girl to pull in the ever so elusive male demographic, hey versus-news flash tell her to brush her hair and maybe put on some cherry chapstick. NO she does not need full hair and make up (it's still versus) but come on, you're on tv buy a hair brush. Second, people tuning in know about the basics, and if they don't know about the basics you weren't funny or informative.

Get rid of her--I mean really.

I vote they move her to the PBR show, now that is BORING! She'd fit right in and it right after the ToC coverage so her family could still see her at near the same time, win win, FOR ALL.

BRING BACK MARI HOLDEN!!!!!!!!!!!
That Mariska chick was absolutely horrible. Shame on Versus.

yah. she really wasnt that great, but give her a chance. Maybe with a couple more tries she can come up with better material.

Of course, Robin Williams is a BIG cycling fan. Versus should try to get him for some color commentary!

Mari Holden would be a Great choice. She's knowledgeable about cycling (obviously) and for those that like eye candy, she fills the bill. The good thing about Bob Roll (and Mari would be) is they're knowledgable experienced cyclists so they know what goes on and what to ask from a pro cyclists perspective. They're also freinds with the cyclists which helps any interview.

THAT IS THE WORST BROADCAST IN THE HISTORY OF THIS STATION!!

I agree that was really bad material for her. I understand you are trying to teach newbie's the lingo but that was bad. Even Kirsten Gump wasn't that bad and not to bad to look at either. Just get some better material don't act like a dummy.
