hapa_lee's recommendation
Phil Liggett, a man with couleur in his voice, a man who appreciates a decent chamois, a man for whom the Tour de France is as much Homer-ian epic as it is a race for le Malliot Jaune, a man who has led us through most every major international tour since 1977 and raced for 12 years before that, a man with Paul Newman-caliber blues, is as well a man with poetry in his soul, and now in print.
An excerpt:
"Daily Dichotomy"
Very light winds
and very hot indeed
it will be an easy day
to destroy yourself.
(Stage 17, 1996)
Encore une fois:
"Purgatorio"
And then,
they'll be in the shadow
of the Pyrenees.
(Stage 9, 2000)
