    Guys~I CANNOT say this enough. Thank you so much for having Ned on there...man what a great show!!!! Loved his insight into the bts of tours. Let's get a TdF photographer or staff in the future.

    A truly fascinating and educational discussion of cycling broadcasting with Ned. I am an avid cycling fan and always appreciate what the broadcasters bring to the events that I love, however, Ned was able to bring a perspective from his experiences that I had not ever considered. Huge props to the Cade Media team for this special episode.
    After the 2025 TdF, Eurosport would be well-served to add Ned to their broadcast team and pay him anything he wants.

    It's been a minute, but I bought 1923, and finished it tonight. What an incredible set of stories, vignettes, photos, individuals, history lessons, lit and lore. This EP66 podcast, the 2.5 min 1923 video, and then this labor of love study of it, were quite a gift. Thanks very much for having Mr Boulting on. His research, and knowledge of the past 100+ years, is formidable. Terrific. Thanks.

  • @Butters2079

    Ned nailed it, took interest in the ITV coverage , then got more interest in other races and wanted to watch it so took up a then gcn racing subscription. I think without that initial interest I wouldn’t have progressed on to further interest. Always get a passing interest from kids/wife too for TDF. So that will go.

    • @eddiewards123
      @eddiewards123 Місяць тому

      Yeah same here! Went from ITV occasionally tuning in, so then watching it religiously. Moving to a GCN+ subscription (RIP) and now Eurosport. ITV is certainly the gateway into spectating the sport. It's an interesting take to see how it affects discovery/Eurosport future subscriptions.

  • @charliefranklin6937

  • @judeackland-patel6646
    @judeackland-patel6646 Місяць тому

    Ned has been on my telle every year since I was 3 years old, his voice is inseparable in my mind from from the amazing itv tour theme, the heroic 2010s montages to the sound of anthemic euro house, motorbike footage of crowds parting on D'Huez, basically everything I picture when I think about why I love cycling. He's a national treasure, he must have been a huge part in inspiring a literal generation (25 years!!!?) to get on road bikes, and that we won't have his voice coming out of millions of TVs in high summer after 2025 is the saddest thing I've heard all year. Truly the greatest hype merchant ever

    Ned was fantastic. He’s right in what he says about ITV being a gateway to Eurosport as I’m not sure I would have a discovery plus subscription had I not fallen in love with our sport in the early 2000’s thanks to ITV’s coverage. Plus the ITV highlights jingle is iconic 🙌🙌

    I went to the 2017 Bikeology and I found Ned's programme enthralling and this has been by far for me the best Wild Ones cast,...I even hung around for the rated section lol. Being of the 1970's and 1980's BMXing/Road Cycling era and involved with forums that covered these it's usual to refer to pre 1979/8 as the vintage era, and post years up to approx 1986 as old school...but that might just be my age.

    It's very sad there isn't going to be any ITV coverage, the team are so knowledgable and articulate in their commentary, as much as I appreciate Sean Kelly's achievements in cycling, "it's a difficult one" is in nearly every sentence he speaks.
    My ideal team would be ITV, Carlton and Phil Liggett.

    Well, I'm halfway through this UA-cam episode, and I'm enthralled by Ned Boulting and the way that Cade Media ( that's yourself and 'Emily the producer') are engaging in this production. I've never really been a fan of Ned Boulting really, but, I've got to say, he has opened my eyes to the professional trials & tribulations that they face, with regard to the footage that they are supplied with. I was at the Tour Of Britain , pre stage 1, stage show this year. I was not really impressed with the performance of Ned. David & Peter, that evening, but I've now been educated to a more informed appreciation of what's involved. Great stuff Cade Media, and am now a Ned Boulting fan.👍

  • @lesflynn4455
    @lesflynn4455 Місяць тому

    I hope Ned gets a gig for the 2026 Tour. I'm not even a UK dweller, so I don't watch the ITV telecast. But he's been chilling it for over 20 years. People really like him. i remember reading a magazine article in a UK cycle magazine in I guess 2014(we used to get UK cycle mags here in Australia at some Newsagencies, and I was a fan). It s about how Ned Boulting gained his love of cycling, and it was via that ITV gig. Need never given cycling a second thought prior to that. Just like Australian tradesmen. They hate cyclists and cycling until they ride a bike through injury recovery or loss of licence. I don't know if Ned was that extreme, but Aussie tradesmen often are.

    I tuned in because Ned was on. Very enjoyable performance. I started liesure riding again after watching Rominger and Idurain slogging up the alps on the Ligget and Sherwin show.
    Its interesting that Ned felt lonely during lock down, not being allowed to go out with his mates. Being out of the social round is difficult as so many found. Some of us have autism, or neuro-divergence as some like to call it. I call it socially challenging because we are wired differently to others and so often find ourselves socially excluded simply because we have difficulty with all those little nuances of speech and so on that others do instinctively. So we get a life long lock down. Its strange that wheel chair users get ramps and lifts but we get distain and rejection, not to mention misunderstood. I don't suppose it will ever change but if you ever meet someone who is odd in conversation don't think them wierd or evil, just a bit different and make allowances for that difference.
