Really don’t know what to say. Used to love him and Phil commentating in the tdf

No cause has officially been revealed, but the rumour is that he killed himself. Tragic, no matter the circumstances.

really sad news... like others have said he was excellent commentating on the tour, not just on the cycling but on France in general. RIP

That's awful. As a commentator he was peerless

Really sad news ,I love watching cycling and in my opinion he was the top commentator on the sport.

awful news to start the week with. seems like it may have been suicide - hope he hadn't been suffering a long time from the demons.

will be sorely missed. one of those voices you can't fail but to recognise and want to hear more of.

I might find out more later. I'm in Uganda, and I know people who knew him. I'd been hoping to meet him while I was here; four days in, that's not going to happen.

UPDATE: The word here is that he died of natural causes in his sleep.

That is mental. Cycling supposed to be one of the best things for longevity.
