TNT1 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/phil-liggett-saddles-up-for-south-african-race Phil Liggett will indulge his twin passions of cycling and South Africa when he sets off on the nine-day Fairbairn Capital/Old Mutual joBerg2c off-road race starting on April 29. For people on a cycling forum, you lot are weird. (edit, mods will complain about my original thread title, even though they're as fed up with all the crap as I am) (extra edit...)

Tuxstir Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 instead of b!tching and moaning about us b!tching and moaning... why dont you just post a comment.. seen as you were most likely the first to see it...
Slowbee Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 education on..... other than commentating .... what else is Mr Liggets claim to fame ? How did he start commentating ? Was he an ex pro ?

Really? Cause being an abrasive b@stard is in my nature. Like the West African folk tale, I'm the scorpion... When asked why, the scorpion explains, "I'm a scorpion; it's my nature."

Was he an ex pro ? Google, googlehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Liggett In 1973, age 30, Liggett became the youngest ever UCI international commissaire And being technical director at the milk race, makes you think he speaks some sense on the doping/radios/etc issues... Paul Sherwin is an ex pro. He raced on teams alongside ladyboy Robert Millar... Edited March 16, 2011 by TNT1
Wyatt Earp Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 education on..... other than commentating .... what else is Mr Liggets claim to fame ? How did he start commentating ? Was he an ex pro ?Slowbee, in this case google is your friend.He was at J2C last year, gave us quite an entertaining talk on the behind the scenes of the TDF.

Paul Sherwin is an ex pro. He raced on teams alongside ladyboy Robert Millar... So he knows alot about the rules of cycling, and has insights into the backgrounds. thats pretty rad.
Gnarly Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Like Murry Walker to F1, Phil Liggett to cycling ........... often a lot of cock ups, but DAMN entertaining and certainly FULL of wisdom in their sports/fields.
cat-i Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 "I think the joBerg2c is taking mountain biking back to grass roots," wonder if the pun was intended?
GrumpyOldGuy Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 So he knows alot about the rules of cycling, and has insights into the backgrounds. thats pretty rad. I used to like the Phil and Paul show but I think its got somewhat dated now. Listening to Mathew Keenan commentate on the last few tours Oman, Quatar, Paris / Nice I have grown to enjoy his fresh style and dry humour, but then I also like Paddy Agnew.......so go figure.!
