accent enough to understand him. 🙂I wish they'd let Anderson's wife talk more. She knows bike racing
and has a vocabulary.MT

BTW, how come Duffield is not in a comm.box anymore? Did I miss
something? Mike Smith took it over completely, it seems...

race discussion programme before and after each stage .
Mike Smith is supplying the pointless statistics from the Paris studio.
Dave Harmon and Sean Kelly are the live commentators with input from Cristie

He was quite ill a few years ago (2001?) and so missed his MC stint on the
Tour De Langkawi.-Mike Smith stood in for him.
He told me last year that he's all clear now, He certainly looks fit for
someone of his age.Jan

It was cancer ("of the waterworks", he said). And yes, he still holds several
troke records. -

Well, despite the [censored] thrown at him by the goofs here, I think that he
does a pretty good job. Mind you that the best part of his job is
getting that laconic Kelly to say something in English, plainly enough
to understand.
