Can someone in the know confirm whether the major sponsors of I Montoya N Quintana et al are pronounced "MOVVISTAR" or "MOVIESTAR"?

Being Spanish an' all it's probably "MOBISTAR"

Monsieur Boulting pronounced "entourage" yesterday with a heavy french accent - whilst speaking English, I should stress! Does he do that when he's not talking about Le Tour?!?
