@@Gkuljian , He died on Dec 2nd from Heart Failure. He was only 62 and seemed to be in good health. I am still having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that he is gone . He had a very soothing voice and a calm demeanor.
My wife and I only recently started following Tour coverage (maybe five years max), but I cannot imagine hearing Paul's gentle voice in 2019's TDF. I am crushed. I tuned-in yearly to hear Bobke's commentary... but knowing that Paul's steady voice won't be there to guide me through the stage happenings is just so strange and foreign. Will take a while to process. :(
The Tour just wasn't the same this year without him, that's for sure. I watched this after obviously, and I also watched another 2 part interview with Bob before this. You can tell he truly misses his friend. We all do. Each time he talks about Climber, I tear up. Its a great loss to us all...
I'm usually not star strikestruck, but there is one time that caught me completely off guard. Its at a stage end at the Tour of CA. I saw many famous cyclists, which was great, but it was all very relaxed. Just like meeting pretty much anyone else. I was walking around the finish line when pretty much everyone had cleared, and who should step out but Paul Sherwen. I froze! I stood there for a few moments without doing anything. I have never had that happen. Paul looked at me, looked away briefly, then looked back, walked up and greeted me. He was so kind and down to earth. A true gentleman. I teared up when Lance and Bob were reminiscing about him. I can hardly say that I knew him, but he touched me. Many years of listening to his commentary. I don't know what watching the TDF will be like without him. It definitely won't be the same. RIP Paul.
What an outstanding interview. Bob has the heart and mind of a poet. He brings word to life in so many ways it's astounding. Great interaction between these two.
Thank you, gentlemen, for taking the time to share your stories and honor an amazing man. I'm sorry for your loss. Our summer soundtrack is forever changed.
This was the best episode by far. Love Bobke who’s also a legend. LA, you’re so right about Paul Sherwen being in our living rooms in the month of July. Going to miss Paul’s voice, and the Phil-Paul duo.
This was the best of Lance Armstrong ever!!!!! I sat at a table for 20 min with Lance the last day of La Ruta in Costa Rica, and I thought that was one of my best moments in life to sit with Lance (Román and Mike Kloser) for 20 min....and talk to those all time heroes of mine. But today, this podcast, was supreme, I even have old Cycling magazines with Bob Roll on it!!!! I will think of Paul, every day I ride my bike and go over those 3 overpasses to get home. Thanks for all Paul, thank you Rob, and you Lance, you just keep growing. Amen.
I have said it before and will say it again... Lance you are the man, and still my hero . Thank you for doing these interviews and showing your love and. Passion for cycling. Great great great interview. The next great interview will be Phil himself. It would be very interesting to hear what he felt you brought to cycling and how it’s lost it’s luster with Team Sky just setting the pace and which team member they want to win the tour. The French cannot seem to produce a true challenger, and the Germans don’t care, and the Spaniards just don’t seem to have the legs for climbing. The Americans cannot stay out of harms way, to move their teams to the next level, so to me the TDF has lost its luster. Phil please come on the show and talk about the above. Thanks again Lance
Just had to rewatch this. Might be one of the best interviews I’ve seen. I didn’t want it to end. Very poetic that Bobke is the one that is now sitting in Paul’s seat…it’s fitting and Paul would be proud of him. He’s rocking it!!! This was legendary.
I just drove over an over pass! This was an outstanding episode of the move - Like you said he was an icon for those of us who love cycling and he will truly be missed! It’s also great to hear some of the back story/inside information so thanks for sharing guys
This interview brought back many memories. Bob, Lance, Paul, and Phil ( may he rest in peace) were for many of us the catalyst that got us to not only watch the TDF but to also squeeze our "out of shape bodies" into spandex and help us get back on the bike. I like many others got used to Paul and Phil in my house during those magnificent three weeks in July every year for the last 15 years. thank you Paul and Phil. Great interview Lance, always love the free flowing conversations that this podcast always encourages. Godspeed Paul.
Bob Roll is a man of many pursuits: former Tour de France racer and mountain bike competitor; training partner of Lance Armstrong; columnist in VeloNews; television commentator, interviewer. He is best know for his colorful commentary around the observations made by a couple of Brits - Phil Liggett and RIP Paul Sherwen - all while painting a decidedly American view of cycling. I always look forward to the start of the Tour to hear his gonzo voice of professional cycling. The three paired so well together. It is all I've known the TDF wont be the same. It was very touching to hear Bob speak about the loss of his longtime friend Paul. Makes you truly value a good friendship.
Thank you Lance (GOAT) and Bobki! For helping us verbalize the loss of the voice of the Tour de France for Americans... The Tour will never be the same again. Paul your a legend, you wont be forgotten! "Every overpass for Paul!"
I'm watching this interview again, missing Paul and loving Lance and Bobke talk about The Climber with so much love, respect, and admiration. And I see all the thumbs downs for this segment? What heartless bastards thumb down this??? Those people need their hearts and spirits examined and healed. This is an absolutely beautiful and touching tribute to one of the most solid men and mentors in cycling. RIP Paul Sherwen...♥️
I’ve been looking forward to this conversation for years. Two of my favorite people remembering old times. It just doesn’t get any better. Love it. Love it. Love it. Thank you both for making it happen.
This is one of your best shows. Thank you Lance and Bob for this heartfelt segment about Paul and your experiences with him. I relate so much to Lance's words about Paul and Phil in my home every July for years, every TDF. They were and still are THE voices of The Tour. I'm so happy that Bob is with Phil now, especially after seeing this episode. Paul was truly great in so many ways; Bob and Phil continue together in memory of our friend. Rest in peace, Paul.♥️🙏
The best show yet. I am a big fan of Bobke. And you two are obviously great friends. I hope you and Bob can get together more often to talk about the old days. I am sixty-seven, and still riding my (white) 2001 trek 5200 , and trust me when I say that shows like this keep me cranking. Love you both, and Lance you are still the second greatest cyclist ever. I just popped the top of a Belgian beer to toast the greatest. I will never look at an over pass the same as I did before this show, lol. When I first heard that Paul passed, I had to google it. I did not believe it either. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
dang Bobke has quite the way with words. His description of his relationship with Paul was beautiful. Peace and happier times to all who feel the same.
Paul was the voice of my childhood. The pure energy Phil and his voice would make me at even 3 years old sitting on the edge of my seat. Will be missed dearly.
This tribute to Paul is so moving. It's uplifting to hear how great Paul was, and just devastating to feel the keen loss again. Glad these guys dug into their suitcases of courage to have this conversation.
Best podcast yet; great work Lance. Bob is as genuine and entertaining as they come and I think he may be the one to fill Paul's big shoes. Loved Paul's stories and history lessons, even though his excessive use of the word "actually" drove me bonkers at times (I have word allergies). Still, his is a huge loss for all of racing and I will truly miss him. Finally, like Lance inferred, it would be helpful to know what exactly took down an ex-athlete who appeared to be in pretty good shape, but sadly we may never.
Miss hearing pauls voice cover races with Phil..i love bobke and he did good,listing to him talk about Paul and the good times they had together yes you can tell he misses his freind. those are big shoes to fill but the 2019 tour was just different without him guiding you threw the stages with that easy gentle voice...may the climber be remembered forever rest in peace my freind
Lance it would be pretty cool too have phil on. I'm sure he would agree..like the late great Paul Sherwin he loved u as well.i have a feeling phil would put you as number one all-time on his list
Just finished watching. To date, the best podcast I have ever watched/listened to. I grew up reading about/seeing pics of Bob in Winning Magazine and listening to the TDF through Paul and Phil. Thank you for this podcast, it has been helpful for me to see that others are having difficulty with something that, for myself, has been very hard to process.
In ‘21 Bob is doing a fantastic job with Phil at Le Tour. It brings me joy. Many years ago I saw Bob at Interbike in Long Beach, CA. I was walking towards him on the show floor and he walking towards me. He is pretty tall and he was wearing a black t-shirt with white lettering that said “No one knows I’m a lesbian.” I read it and just burst out laughing and he laughed back. It was so hilarious.
What a great show Lance. Everyone loves Bobke! It was awesome to listen to the two of you reminiscing about the good old days. It’s obvious that you guys lost a great friend as did the whole cycling community and really all of humanity lost a great example of what a real man should be. God rest your soul Climber. I will think of you every time I climb an overpass.
Awesome podcast ‼️ In highschool, I used to write poetry on the sidewalls of my tubular tires. Just like Bobke. RIP Paul Sherwin. Thank you for being Lance, Lance. ✌️
Lance, you may never read this, but I got back on the bike 14 years ago to support the LIVESTRONG Foundation after my sister was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I wish you were still there, but understand the circumstances. I remained a supporter of yours then and still do. Fuck cancer, fuck the haters and thanks for getting me back on the bike. I did three Livestrong rides in Philly. They were tough rides for me, but loved every minute of it.
Thank you Lance and Bob for giving the great Mr. Paul Sherwen a meaningful and heartfelt sendoff. I'm happy that you spoke with such class and dignity about the man who so clearly embodied those traits. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you both.
To the climber ! I just always thought his remarks about the mountains was just self deprecating humor, now I know he was serious....RIP Paul, gone perhaps but not to be forgotten.
Loved the interview, belly laughing through most of it. Lance please stop saying you were a douche bag. Your aggressive nature was a fuel for your cycling genius. It is a fair trade. Always be you.
Listening 4 yrs down the road. In 2015 or 16 I went to wheat ridge cyclery and listened to Phil and Paul talk story and had a meet and greet. They both were so engaging and attentive it was wonderful. BTW it was a fundraiser to get bikes to Africa. I had a couple of bikes I salvaged off the street. They are in Africa.
I just watched this interview where you and Lance talk about Paul Sherwen’s death and who could possibly replace him. Yesterday I started watching La Vuelta 2022 with you and Christian. You guys aren’t replacing Phil and Paul; but you are calling the race - even the flat stages - in a very entertaining and knowledgeable manner. Today you and Christian picked up on something Lantern Rouge didn’t notice and LR and Benji are usually the ones to explain everything. I’ll keep watching. Thank you.
Brilliant and touching tribute to Paul Sherwin. Thank you Bob for being so open and generous towards the many others Paul's life also impacted. Great interview all the round Lance. Flat out your best work (less the go fund me idea). Blessings.
I remember watching one Tour de France broadcast, and when they showed the image of Phil and Paul talking, for some reason they were jammed together like their inner arms were super-glued together. I had to think, wow, I hope they really get along with each other. It is good to hear that they were really good friends, and together they made many cycling races a more enjoyable experience for us. Thank you, Paul Sherwen, and I miss you very much as well.
2001 on OLN is when I started watching the Tour religiously..........Going to miss Paul so much. I feel like I've lost a family member. RIP Paul.......
Bobke and Maynard wrote the most amusing stories back then! I can remember so many... but another story about Bobke I love is that my Durango friend watched Bob roofing a house in his bib tights... Bob set new standards wherever... Thanks Lance for having him on.
Bury the hatchet?...you must be on the same drugs Lance was...he tried to destroy lamond...accused lamond of doping ruined lamonds bycicle business and made lamond a virtual pariah in the cycling world because lamond spoke out about Lance's doping ...Lance is evil... you don't know the story...he tried to destroy those who spoke against him... Doping is one thing destroying others lives quite another...
@@pedroandrade2398 lamond doped??what investigation proved this?show me some facts bro... otherwise malicious slander...unfounded...you still don't get it ...DOPING IS ONE THING DESTROYING PEOPLES LIVES IS A HORSE IF A DIFFERENT COLOR...watch the film STOP AT NOTHING...you'll see your hero in all his glory ...lol...watch the film...best wishes bro...
Lemond did not race clean? Are you dumb or just stupid? Do you make a concerted effort to say stupid things or does it just come to you naturally? What are your references or are they just stupid assumptions? Read, research and think before you speak. People like you remind me of one thing . . . STUPID HURTS!!!! especially when the whole world can read the stupid things you say. R / Steve
Thank you so much for giving me an insight into Paul's life. Paul was such a great person and for me he represented cycling. Period. Without him it will never be the same.
I was looking for an appropriate tribute to a beloved figure in cycling. This was excellent. Thank you Bobke and Lance. Total respect to both of you for a very long time. Cycling commentary in the TDF just won't be the same.
Thank you for your reminiscing about and tribute to Paul. I never met him but listened to Paul and Phil over the years. A tremendous loss for all of us.
I pray that Phil still does the tour...we ALL miss Paul.. but Im sure he would want Phil to carry on. It seems like its been a 3rd of my life that I have listened to Paul and Phil and now that Paul is gone it will be different when I listen to the Tour. Between Bob and the other announcers Im sure the broadcast will be fine,,,,,,carry on BOB....carry on for Paul.
Lance and Bob, thank you for this show together and for allowing us to eaves drop on your conversation and emotions. "Zero ego" was correct. I ran into Phil and Paul following a TDF stage in Chamrousse. I looked up and said "it's Phil and..." and Paul interrupted me and said "...and the Other guy." What a humble man! We will miss him tremendously.
Really enjoyed Paul’s commentary over the years. He had as early sense of humor. You’re right, you listen to someone broadcast something every morning, it feels like they’re part of the family. Nailed it.
Watching a race with Phil and Paul doing commentary gave the event huge credibility and value. The void created by Paul's departure will be insurmountable. Thank you for your insights and personal stories about this great man. He will absolutely be missed.
My dad and I Met bob at a bike event in Elk Grove Illinois a few years back. Was amazing to us as fans. Shot the shit with us at his trailer, signed jerseys, gave us a good 15 minutes. Top notch dude!
I loved Paul. This episode had me in tears. Thank you for the stories. Always great to listen to. A wonderful friend of mine met Paul in London at the 2007 TDF and said exactly what you stated...he was completely down to earth.
I consider myself a light roadcycling amateur, but STRONG ROADCYCLING ENTHUSIAST and LOVE seeing this too guys with a strong experience, background, and funny and layback comments on the present sport's evolve merged with their personal stories, nice to see them toghether.
I was on my way to see the start of the 2nd stage of the 1996 Tour DuPont in Fredericksburg, VA. As a young cycling fan, it wasn't every day that you would get to see some of your heroes in your own region of the US. I pulled into a gas station right before the little historic neighbourhood where the start of the stage was being held. By pure serendipity, the Motorola team was in the same gas station. I walked into the little convenience store to grab a drink and a snack, and there was Paul Sherwan at the check-out counter. As a fan who would watch World Cycling VHS tapes while riding the trainer every day in the early '90s, I looked over at him, kind of shocked and a little star-struck, "Hey, you're Paul Sherwan. I really dig what you and Phil do on TV. You guys are great." Paul just smiled and said, "Yes, and hopefully you'll be seeing more of us." Just cool and gracious. The dynamic of Phil and Paul together was extremely special in broadcasting. Watching a cycling race will never be the same again, and won't be nearly as entertaining.
Thank you for sharing the back stories that none of us know about. Paul has been the soundtrack to our summers. Can't wait to see how NBC handles this. Either way, Paul will continue to be missed. Thanks again!!
I love Bob! One of your best episodes of all time. And RIP Paul Sherwen. I can't recall ever a time of listening to races without his voice.
Aw. This is the first I heard of his death. Crushed. He'll be very much missed. What a gentle person he was. A great man.
@@Gkuljian , He died on Dec 2nd from Heart Failure. He was only 62 and seemed to be in good health. I am still having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that he is gone . He had a very soothing voice and a calm demeanor.
My wife and I only recently started following Tour coverage (maybe five years max), but I cannot imagine hearing Paul's gentle voice in 2019's TDF. I am crushed. I tuned-in yearly to hear Bobke's commentary... but knowing that Paul's steady voice won't be there to guide me through the stage happenings is just so strange and foreign. Will take a while to process. :(
The Tour just wasn't the same this year without him, that's for sure. I watched this after obviously, and I also watched another 2 part interview with Bob before this. You can tell he truly misses his friend. We all do. Each time he talks about Climber, I tear up. Its a great loss to us all...

I have never had that happen. Paul looked at me, looked away briefly, then looked back, walked up and greeted me. He was so kind and down to earth. A true gentleman.

I don't know what watching the TDF will be like without him. It definitely won't be the same.
RIP Paul.
I could not agree more with what you said Brian, I feel exactly the same. Paul Sherwen was such a class guy.
What a great story! Thank you for sharing it. Apparently Paul was like that with most people.
What an outstanding interview. Bob has the heart and mind of a poet. He brings word to life in so many ways it's astounding. Great interaction between these two.
Every time I go over an overpass I will think of Paul Sherwin. RIP. Still hard to believe he is gone now that is 2022.
Thank you, gentlemen, for taking the time to share your stories and honor an amazing man. I'm sorry for your loss. Our summer soundtrack is forever changed.
This was the best episode by far. Love Bobke who’s also a legend. LA, you’re so right about Paul Sherwen being in our living rooms in the month of July. Going to miss Paul’s voice, and the Phil-Paul duo.

Fantastic Interview just riveting. Thanks to both of you for sitting down and doing this wonderful discussion it was long overdue!
Had the pleasure of meeting Bob at a cycling event in Wisconsin. A grand gentleman.
Bobke! Favorite photo. Graham Watson photo of Bob on the cobbles at Paris-Roubaix!
Great podcast! Great tribute to Paul!
two amazing guys in the sport I love, please keep going and thank you men . loved this.
The best show yet. I am a big fan of Bobke. And you two are obviously great friends. I hope you and Bob can get together more often to talk about the old days. I am sixty-seven, and still riding my (white) 2001 trek 5200 , and trust me when I say that shows like this keep me cranking. Love you both, and Lance you are still the second greatest cyclist ever.

Epic interview! Wish I could "like" it a thousand times.
dang Bobke has quite the way with words. His description of his relationship with Paul was beautiful. Peace and happier times to all who feel the same.
Paul was the voice of my childhood. The pure energy Phil and his voice would make me at even 3 years old sitting on the edge of my seat. Will be missed dearly.
Bobke = Legend. He's the only one that could even come close to filling Paul's shoes in July.
Bob Roll!!! Hell yeah👍. Still looks very fit. American cycling ICON!
Bob Roll is the best! I love his commentary, especially when he gets wound up talking about bullfighting!
Well done..Brilliantly done. This one is a classic Lance and Bob.. Thank you for sharing a story of an amazing soul.
This tribute to Paul is so moving. It's uplifting to hear how great Paul was, and just devastating to feel the keen loss again. Glad these guys dug into their suitcases of courage to have this conversation.
Bob is the best.. Had the pleasure of knowing him back in the day when he was starting out.. He frequented our shop
"beautiful tapestry.." a wonderful metaphor for cycling, Lance, Bob and Paul Sherwin. Great show! Thx.
A wonderful metaphor for life.
Best podcast yet; great work Lance. Bob is as genuine and entertaining as they come and I think he may be the one to fill Paul's big shoes. Loved Paul's stories and history lessons, even though his excessive use of the word "actually" drove me bonkers at times (I have word allergies).

Had the great pleasure of meeting Paul at the Tour of California, what an incredible man. Talking about cycling and joking with othe

One of your best podcasts yet. Thank you Lance and Bob!
41:27 Bob, that was a beautiful metaphor. R.I.P. The Climber.
Yes. Beautifully stated as only Bobke could do. Thanks for the link.
dude this is hands down one of the best videos I have EVER seen on youtube! seriously!
I don't keep up with the sport now, but listening to these two talk about cycling in the 80's and early 90's brought back some great memories.
Nobody can replace Paul but if anyone can come close it would be Bobke! RIP Paul...
In ‘21 Bob is doing a fantastic job with Phil at Le Tour. It brings me joy. Many years ago I saw Bob at Interbike in Long Beach, CA. I was walking towards him on the show floor and he walking towards me. He is pretty tall and he was wearing a black t-shirt with white lettering that said “No one knows I’m a lesbian.” I read it and just burst out laughing and he laughed back. It was so hilarious.
That was a really nice way to spend an hour. I’m gonna watch it again later and open a bottle of something red.
So epic! One of the best, Bobke and Lance is legendary!
Enjoy your show, and this was a particularly good one. Thanks both for your memories of Paul.
Thanks guys. Rip International Man Of Mystery Paul Sherwin.
Great installment. So much history cool runnings.

For sure will be missed, Paul Sherwen - RIP
Just saw this many years later. What a Fuckin awesome podcast! I love Lance and Bob. Lance is still the greatest ever, they were all juiced.

Today you and Christian picked up on something Lantern Rouge didn’t notice and LR and Benji are usually the ones to explain everything. I’ll keep watching. Thank you.
The two best that the TDF has ever produced. Love you both!!
Brilliant and touching tribute to Paul Sherwin. Thank you Bob for being so open and generous towards the many others Paul's life also impacted. Great interview all the round Lance. Flat out your best work (less the go fund me idea). Blessings.
I remember watching one Tour de France broadcast, and when they showed the image of Phil and Paul talking, for some reason they were jammed together like their inner arms were super-glued together. I had to think, wow, I hope they really get along with each other. It is good to hear that they were really good friends, and together they made many cycling races a more enjoyable experience for us. Thank you, Paul Sherwen, and I miss you very much as well.
Great episode. Love you guys. Classy ending: Hallelujah. Amen.
2001 on OLN is when I started watching the Tour religiously..........Going to miss Paul so much. I feel like I've lost a family member. RIP Paul.......
Bobke and Maynard wrote the most amusing stories back then! I can remember so many... but another story about Bobke I love is that my Durango friend watched Bob roofing a house in his bib tights... Bob set new standards wherever...
Thanks Lance for having him on.
One of your best shows ever Lance... raw, honest, and insightful as always. Thanks Bobke and Lance! And will miss Paul this coming race season.
I made sure to watch the NBC App long highlights every day to get a daily dose of Bob & Phil without the commercials.
Best WEDU interview yet, Bobke is the man. Now get Greg LeMond on the show, time to bury the hatchet.
that would be a show
Bury the hatchet?...you must be on the same drugs Lance was...he tried to destroy lamond...accused lamond of doping ruined lamonds bycicle business and made lamond a virtual pariah in the cycling world because lamond spoke out about Lance's doping ...Lance is evil... you don't know the story...he tried to destroy those who spoke against him... Doping is one thing destroying others lives quite another...
well, LeMond didnt raced clean either. not even Merckx, @@chrisbeveridge3066 . either way, it was ugly to see.
but, Lance already apologized to Greg.
@@pedroandrade2398 lamond doped??what investigation proved this?show me some facts bro... otherwise malicious slander...unfounded...you still don't get it ...DOPING IS ONE THING DESTROYING PEOPLES LIVES IS A HORSE IF A DIFFERENT COLOR...watch the film STOP AT NOTHING...you'll see your hero in all his glory ...lol...watch the film...best wishes bro...
Lemond did not race clean? Are you dumb or just stupid? Do you make a concerted effort to say stupid things or does it just come to you naturally? What are your references or are they just stupid assumptions? Read, research and think before you speak. People like you remind me of one thing . . . STUPID HURTS!!!! especially when the whole world can read the stupid things you say.

Thank you so much for giving me an insight into Paul's life. Paul was such a great person and for me he represented cycling. Period. Without him it will never be the same.
I was looking for an appropriate tribute to a beloved figure in cycling. This was excellent. Thank you Bobke and Lance. Total respect to both of you for a very long time. Cycling commentary in the TDF just won't be the same.
Thank you for your reminiscing about and tribute to Paul. I never met him but listened to Paul and Phil over the years. A tremendous loss for all of us.
One of the best episodes. Real and that is awesome!
I pray that Phil still does the tour...we ALL miss Paul.. but Im sure he would want Phil to carry on. It seems like its been a 3rd of my life that I have listened to Paul and Phil and now that Paul is gone it will be different when I listen to the Tour. Between Bob and the other announcers Im sure the broadcast will be fine,,,,,,carry on BOB....carry on for Paul.
Bobke, what a legend! Get him a bike and some cobbles
Lance and Bob, thank you for this show together and for allowing us to eaves drop on your conversation and emotions. "Zero ego" was correct. I ran into Phil and Paul following a TDF stage in Chamrousse. I looked up and said "it's Phil and..." and Paul interrupted me and said "...and the Other guy." What a humble man!
We will miss him tremendously.
Really enjoyed Paul’s commentary over the years. He had as early sense of humor. You’re right, you listen to someone broadcast something every morning, it feels like they’re part of the family. Nailed it.
NO. WAYYYYY!!!! YESSSSSS!!!! Bobkeeeeeee!!! Hey Bobke.....i got a fever, and the only cure is more Broom Wagon!!!!
Grand episode! Love you guys from over the pond in Austria.
Bob you are doing a great job next to phil through stage 9. Really great. Keep it up. Thanks
I love Bob, his voice is so special!,
Watching a race with Phil and Paul doing commentary gave the event huge credibility and value. The void created by Paul's departure will be insurmountable. Thank you for your insights and personal stories about this great man. He will absolutely be missed.
Great show Lance. You and Bobke are magical together. I promise I will think about Paul Sherwin every time I go over an overpass or speed bump.
I've been listening to Paul Sherwen doing the TDF since he started! It's not going to be the same. RIP Paul Sherwen
I would have given $10,000 to any charities of there choice to be in this room listen to this live. Love you guys.
This has got to be one of the best interview.I love the conversation about Paul.
Has to be the best 'The Move'. Couple of mates having a chat. Keep up the good work :)
Wow, Lance and Bob, I really really enjoyed that. Honest, emotional and thoughtful.
Great show loved it man. Lance and Bobke, my 2 hero’s man. Please keep them coming
I love this! After the Oprah interview, I only cared about 2 friends leaving Lance - Bob and Matthew. Neither abandoned him! Awesome!
Bobke and Lance, epic 👍 My pick to replace Paul Sherwen hands down will be Bobke, no question 😊
Wow. I was thinking Matt Stephens might be the man-another Brit-but Bobke would be totally cool for sure.
My dad and I Met bob at a bike event in Elk Grove Illinois a few years back. Was amazing to us as fans. Shot the shit with us at his trailer, signed jerseys, gave us a good 15 minutes. Top notch dude!
I loved Paul. This episode had me in tears. Thank you for the stories. Always great to listen to. A wonderful friend of mine met Paul in London at the 2007 TDF and said exactly what you stated...he was completely down to earth.
Always loved the way Bob broadcasted the tour
No one could ask for a better elegy. Thanks, guys.
I consider myself a light roadcycling amateur, but STRONG ROADCYCLING ENTHUSIAST and LOVE seeing this too guys with a strong experience, background, and funny and layback comments on the present sport's evolve merged with their personal stories, nice to see them toghether.
I was on my way to see the start of the 2nd stage of the 1996 Tour DuPont in Fredericksburg, VA. As a young cycling fan, it wasn't every day that you would get to see some of your heroes in your own region of the US. I pulled into a gas station right before the little historic neighbourhood where the start of the stage was being held. By pure serendipity, the Motorola team was in the same gas station. I walked into the little convenience store to grab a drink and a snack, and there was Paul Sherwan at the check-out counter. As a fan who would watch World Cycling VHS tapes while riding the trainer every day in the early '90s, I looked over at him, kind of shocked and a little star-struck, "Hey, you're Paul Sherwan. I really dig what you and Phil do on TV. You guys are great." Paul just smiled and said, "Yes, and hopefully you'll be seeing more of us." Just cool and gracious.
The dynamic of Phil and Paul together was extremely special in broadcasting. Watching a cycling race will never be the same again, and won't be nearly as entertaining.
Great show Lance, nice to see Bob and RIP Paul. 💕
Thank you for sharing the back stories that none of us know about. Paul has been the soundtrack to our summers. Can't wait to see how NBC handles this. Either way, Paul will continue to be missed. Thanks again!!
Wanted see you both in the same room for a long time. Great episode.
