Paul Sherwen.PNGPaul Sherwen has died, aged 62
Former professional cyclist turned TV pundit Paul sherwen has died at the age of 62.
As a racer, Sherwen competed seven times in the Tour de France and was also a past British road and circuit race champion.
Many will know him best for his subsequent career as co-commentator to Phil Liggett, with whom he covered 33 editions of the race.
The pair worked mainly for the American broadcaster NBC, although their feed was syndicated to channels in other English-speaking countries including, for a time, ITV in the UK.
Born in Lancashire, Sherwen spent part of his youth in Kenya and would later make his home in Uganda, where he had interests in a gold mine.
Sad day. Have lost a friend & fellow broadcaster in .@PaulSherwen Our lives intertwined via family in Uganda where Paul lived as well as the various Olympic Games we both worked on. A special man who loved his family both his own & the one he made via cycling. RIP

A top bike racer and, as mentioned above, after retirement he became a perfect companion for "the voice of cycling", Phil Liggett, in the role of TV commentator.
I particularly liked this personal tribute (8 tweets) by David Millar at https://twitter.com/millarmind/status/1069482428937457664
The soundtrack to my TDF viewing for so many years.
Will be sadly missed.
RIP Paul.
In agreement with BTBS. A quality commentator and broadcaster. A perfect foil to Phil Legget's enthusiasm, with a great depth of knowledge and experience. Really a sad loss. RIP
A legend of cycling broadcasting and a quality cyclist in his own right, something many forget or are not aware of.
RIP Paul, a sad loss.
RIP brother.
