"Revs are up, ready for a start" is the opening gambit of Charlie Cox every single MotoGP race. I have heard this line so many times in the last 10-12 years, I now have to mentally blank his banal comment.
Not only is he one of the most boring commentators I have ever heard, but he is obsessed with talking about cars (with himself, thankfully) during nearly every single race! Today, he was talking about the DRS system employed in Formula Yawn. Yes Mr Cox, how would you see that being a benefit on a motorcycle? Cut holes in the rear cowling, with movable flaps inside, and a button on the handlebars to close the flaps on a designated straight!
Does David Coulthard talk about the design of the fairing of a bike during an F1 race, I doubt it?
To add insult to injury, I couldn't watch any live GP races on my preferred channel, Eurosport. I had to endure the just as equally dull Harris and Emmett. Why can't the Beeb have the fortitude to poach Moody and Ryder from Eurosport and make their show much more entertaining? Keep Matt Roberts in pit lane, not sure what I'd do with Azi. The Beebs show has gone downhill since Suzi Perry quit, at least she knew her stuff and had a good rapport with all the riders.
So Mr Cox, do us all a favour and retire with Skippy and drive off into the outback never to be heard again.
