He's retired - well into his 70s now, so I think he 'overtook' Murray
Walker! But I heard he may be commenting from the studio.

I always thought he was commentating on some other race which only he
could see?

That would have been a Coffee Over Keyboard moment had I been drinking,
thank you Mr. Looney of Reading :-)

I know that "Callas" wasn't intentionally being rude,
but I for one would like to record my very sincere
thanks to David (Duffield) for his absolutely
/superb/ cycling commentaries.

When I was forcibly migrated from Channel 4 to
Eurosport for coverage of the Tour de France,
my initial impression was that Eurosport
wasn't a patch on C4, and I far preferred Phil
Ligget to David Duffield. Having now been
a Eurosport convert for several years, I've
grown to not only /like/ but to positively /relish/
DD's comentaries, and I now include him in my
personal shortlist of radio and television
presenters whose contributions have been
(IMHO) positively outstanding. These include (in
no particular order) Alistaire Cooke ("Letter from
America"😉, Phil Drabble("One Man and his Dog"😉,
Jack Hargreaves ("Out of Town"😉, Arthur Negus
("Going for a Song"😉, and now David Duffield.

So, from one convert, a very sincere "Thank you",
David. I don't know if it was your decision or
Eurosport's, but if it was the latter, then I urge
them to reconsider. Your commentaries were
a work of art, and probably the most entertaining
transmissions on televison today. And if it was
your decision, then I wish you many many /many/
years of happy retirement.
