Surprised how blunt he is about some things.
Chris Boardman = "not a good bike rider"
Bradley Wiggins = "mentally fragile"
He also savages the impact of team radio on the spectacle, so a big thumbs up from me.
Some nice footage of Phil (or is it Alan Partridge?) at home by the fire with a bottle of Bordeaux. Liggett for president indeed!
Some Stage 17 nuggets:
Sherwen: "A few more riders trying to scuttle across the gap" (he loves that word.
Sherwen: "Richie Porte pulling that elastic plaster stretch plastic up" (his bandage)
Sherwen: "Vanendert with the old one two"
Sherwen: "Chris Froome is stomping all over those pedals"
Sherwen: "Chris Froome is turning himself inside out"
And all that.
