Just saw that on Twitter Rick. A sad day because the man was a legend if you follow cycle racing. I suppose you could say he was cycling's Murray Walker as he used to say some funny things at awkward times. That's hardly surprising though given the hours of commentary he had to fill.

Its been a mixture of sadness and smiles today reading through all the great tributes to DD. Even we've learnt a bit more about him, even having been part of building the 'We Love David Duffield'pages previously.

We've managed to get a few more pictures up from the archived site too.

He honestly was one of a kind and a champion for cycling.

Sad news. I loved his commentary even when he was oblivious to the break going up the road. Met him once at a Club Dinner, top gent!
