Yesterday, the “1A” show on NPR interviewed Lance Armstrong in the first half and then Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwen for the second half.
Armstrong didn’t really have anything new to add, essentially re-iterating that when he was racing, everyone was doing it and if you wanted to be competitive....
Sherwen and Ligget were pretty entertaining, giving some notion of just how hectic trying to cover the tour is.
Sherwen is multi lingual and says they frequently have race feeds in Spanish, Italian, and others all coming in to their car at the same time... While trying to monitor the race on a little portable TV.
At the end of the stage, they then have to drive to the next stage to set up, often arriving late at night.
