They did a nice tribute to Paul at the start of both Le Tour and the Tour of California. Bobke has joined Phil in the broadcast booth. He’s good, but it’s a different rhythm and chemistry. Frequently, he’s struggling to find things to say and isn’t paying attention to Phil, so Bob repeats things Phil had said moments earlier. The biggest gaffe, however, occurred when Lance Armstrong was brought in to offer his thoughts on the race, and he said “Good morning Phil and Paul...” Bob’s face at that moment was priceless. I predict two or three years before Lance is in the broadcast booth full time. > https://twitter.com/itvcycling/status/1151575363593670656 > > > Adam > > > On Thu, 7 Feb 2019, 10:17 Adam Bowie, <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The memorial was yesterday, although sadly I was unable to attend it. >> >> ITV Cycling produced this nice video which is on their Twitter feed: >> https://twitter.com/itvcycling/status/1093155288109248512 >> >> >> >> On Sat, Dec 15, 2018 at 8:49 AM Kevin M. <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Sherwin's memorial will be in Feb. >>> >>> I suspect it will be very well attended. >>> >>> https://twitter.com/PhilLiggett/status/1073850929915543552 >>> >>> On Tue, Dec 4, 2018 at 6:34 AM Adam Bowie <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>>> I was thoroughly knocked by this when I heard the news yesterday >>>> morning.
