  • 'Life Goes On' for NBC Sports's Tour Team
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling ‘Life Goeshttps://www.theouterline.com on’ for NBC Sports’s Tour Team Following Sherwen’s Tragic Death When the Tour de France coverage kicks off on NBC Sports Network this weekend, it will mark the first time in 33 years that an English speaking audience will not hear the voice and sage insights of Paul Sherwen, who passed away in December, 2018. Long-time insider and supporting desk presenter Bob Roll will join the venerable Phil Liggett in front of the live commentary box cameras when coverage starts from Brussels, Belgium, Saturday, July 6. The transition would appear natural in light of Roll’s veteran experience in the booth and rapport with both personalities, and his deep historical cycling knowledge. Behind the scenes, NBC faces a daunting task to elevate its production game due to the expected impacts of Sherwen’s absence. “Bob knows he can never fill Paul’s shoes. Bob will simply have to cobble together a new pair,” said NBC’s Producer David Michaels, who has helmed the Tour’s American telecast since 2011. “Bob’s had a bit of experience working mano à mano with Phil. He brings a different energy and perspective. Bob grows with each broadcast. Can’t think of anyone out there who could go hour upon hour alongside Phil except Bob.” Michaels has an unprecedented perspective on his side. He began his storytelling of the Tour de France in the mid-1980s with CBS (his brother, Al, is widely known for his work in rival network ABC) and helped bring Greg LeMond’s famous 1985 and 1986 duels with teammate Bernard Hinault to the American audience.

The Paul Sherwen Project will serve to continue supporting the good that Paul was enacting in Uganda and across East Africa: empowering young people to help drive progress and economic development, through job skills and personal training, while protecting the unique culture and environment of their communities. To help raise funds and awareness, the Paul Sherwen Project has partnered with ROAD iD, the premier line of wearable identification products for cyclists. Together, they created a Limited Edition Paul Sherwen Wrist ID honoring Paul’s life and legacy. The Limited Edition Paul Sherwen ROAD iD features a custom designed silicone band with the inscription “If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far, go together”, a quote that resonated deeply with Paul. “Paul has been back in our living rooms throughout the month of July on NBC’s airing of the Ultimate Tour,” said NBC Sports commentator and long-time friend of Sherwen, Phil Liggett. “Your response has been amazing and clearly you all loved him, as we did throughout his career alongside me.

    Questions about a Champion "If a misdeed arises in the search for truth, it is better to exhume it rather than conceal the truth." Saint Jerome. "When I wake up in the morning, I can look in the mirror and say: yes, I'm clean. It's up to you to prove that I am guilty." Lance Armstrong, Liberation, July 24,2001. "To deal with it, the teams must be clear on ethics. Someone crosses the line? He doesn't have the right to a second chance!" Lance Armstrong, L'Equipe, April 28, 2004. Between the World Road Champion encountered in a Norwegian night club, who sipped a beer, talked candidly, laughed easily and never let the conversation falter, and the cyclist with a stem, closed face, who fended off the July crowd, protected by a bodyguard or behind the smoked glass of the team bus, ten years had passed. July 1993. In the garden of an old-fashioned hotel near Grenoble, I interviewed Armstrong for three hours. It was the first professional season for this easygoing, slightly cowboyish, and very ambitious Texan. I left with a twenty-five-page interview, the chapter of a future book11 was writing about the Tour de France. I also took with me a real admiration for this young man, whom I thought had a promising future in cycling. Eight years later, in the spring of 2001, another interview. But the Tour of 1998 had changed things. Scandals and revelations were running rampant in cycling. Would my admiration stand the test? In August 1993, it was a happy, carefree, eloquent Armstrong, whom Pierre Ballester, met the evening after he won the World Championship in Oslo.
