Sean Kelly was his co-pilot for a while....talk about chalk and cheese. One's a blubbering dandy who has more trouble identifying riders than Phil Liggett with Vaseline smeared on his glasses.....the other is the quintessential hard-man who speaks only when necessary.
But I guess when Sean Kelly talks cycling, you listen.
now it is Dave Harmon and sometimes Duffers, who head up Eurosport and Kristy(Christy) Anderson sometimes, Phil's wife. she knows her stuff but her opinions and predictions are wrong. Like when she also said Mcewen could not win in the 2004 tour and was intimidated by Petacchi and goes on to win stage two by about 3 clear lengths with Petacchi mid bunch for the sprinters. Mcewen had a great tour then with little help, probably his best tour.
