He currently commentates on the Tour de France and bike races for ITV and NBC Sports, and was previously associated with Australia's SBS.[1][2] He is a former amateur cyclist and received a professional contract in 1967; instead of turning professional, he saw a future in sports journalism after writing articles in cycling magazines about races in which he participated.[3]
