Phil Liggett,Bill Strickland
Heâ€™s dancing on his pedals, In a most immodest way., â€”Tour de France, 1989,In the tradition of Phil Rizzutoâ€™s ,O Holy Cow!,, this is a lighthearted, ironic arrangement into verse form of Phil Liggettâ€™s florid, enthusiastic narrations of cyclingâ€™s greatest races. Anyone who has ever watched the Tour de France on TV knows Phil, and his flights of rhetorical brilliance are legion. ,Bicycling Magazine, writes, â€œHis voice defines the sport the way Howard Cosellâ€™s did for boxing and football.â€ Astonishingly poetic and intelligent, Phil Liggettâ€™s narrations lend themselves perfectly to this found poetry approach.,Bill Strickland, is executive editor of ,Bicycling Magazine, and the author of ,The Quotable Cyclist,.
