ITV Sport

ITV's coverage of Formula 1 motor racing and the Boat Race has been an absolute disaster. Having to show advertisements whilst the race is in progress is a joke, an absolute joke. For that reason I am happy that 2009 is the last year that the Oxford & Cambridge Boat Race will be televised by ITV, this is the last year that a piece of British sporting tradition is sullied by having an advertisement in the middle of the race - this year I believe it will be an advertisement for sausages.

Next year the Boat Race returns to the BBC, as Formula 1 did at the start of this season, and I am grateful for that.
