Has anyone heard who will replace Paul Sherwen for the Tour Down Under?

Not yet. The tour will be paying tribute, though.

Paul Sherwen will be remembered at the 2019 Santos Tour Down Under: (http://www.tourdownunder.com.au/news/2018/dec/30/santos-tdu-to-pay-tribute-to-paul-sherwen)
“Paul Sherwen would be truly humbled by the outpouring of love from around the globe. It has been truly unbelievable, I knew he was universally loved but this has been extraordinary.

I know he will be looking down on us with that trademark smile, wondering just what all the fuss is about, wearing his RM Williams boots that he was so fond of,” says Phil Liggett.

English-born Liggett, 75, whose dulcet tones have been synonymous with cycling for decades, will be joined by former Australian cycling champion Robbie McEwen in the commentary booth for wheel-to-wheel coverage of the southern hemisphere’s biggest bike race.

Interesting!

Robbie has joined the duo in the past at the commentary box so this is not entirely a surprise.

With all due respect to Paul- I hope they take this opportunity to put Phil out to pasture-

I didn't really ask for opinions, about Paul let alone Phil. But, sigh, I knew we would get the haters anyway.

Listen to Mitch Docker’s podcast where he interviews Phil - super interesting!
