In every sport, we never get the best color analyst. We get a color analyst who was a professional in said sport. Hundreds if not thousands of regular joes who never made it to the pros would be amazing analysts who will never get a look because all the broadcasting companies want is former pros.

But we're stuck with this rag-tag bunch while other major sports have a plethora of announcers. Being a niche sport is the root cause

I don't harp on the job RC does in the booth. But I definitely don't think he's very good. I really like him when he goes on podcasts though, when he's talking much more naturally

This is going to sound bad but I mean it in a good way. The difference between Stewart in the booth and Carmichael is, Stewart does not try and talk above his education and just says it like he sees it. It comes across funny and informative. Carmichael on the other hand tries to talk above his education and it sounds like he is a bumbling idiot. Carmichael is super smart and knowledgeable about the sport and he knows what the riders are doing. He should change his style to match Stewarts so he can get the point out. Most of us are not much more educated than he is. I know that I am not.

I've said it on here multiple times.  The problem is not so much the regular demolition of the English language, nor the bumbling - all though both of these shouldn't be part of a professional commentator's work.  The main problem is he offers no insight into what is going on beyond what a child watching the show could add.  His explanations of the intricacies of the sport are non-existent. James, for all his meandering and repetition, quite often adds real analysis to a situation - he offers something that only an expert would know or could see.
