RIP Paul Sherwen

[novaclassof90]

Sad news on the passing of Paul Sherwen due to heart failure at the age of 62.

For non cycling fans, Sherwen, along with his broadcast partner Phil Liggett, has made the Tour de France come alive for American viewers for over 30 years. He will be missed, brought the Tour to life with his commentary and coverage.

he will be missed. The Tour was usually full of drama, and he had a nice way of describing it on the TV broadcasts.

Agreed....he made the Tour very enjoyable to watch, especially given how there are long stretches with little real excitement. Won't be the same come next July.

 

[Roar More]

Gonna miss him. He and Phil spent three weeks with me every July. Very knowledgeable guy.

Major bummer. Had he been in a spot of bother?

Always thought it was interesting that he was a gold miner in Uganda of all places.
