Liggett says it’s the fourth best race, and then also on another occasion that is a grand tour. Alright. But, then again, mocking Liggett for the actual content of what he says is like mocking snow in January. His genius is not in content but in context. And, has Paul Sherwin said anything similar about the ToC? I’d be surprised.

Heh, I remember watching a stage of the TdF, I can’t remember which, where Liggett quickly made like three or four claims in a row, all of which were demonstrably shown false by what happened on the road within five or ten minutes. I was like, “O.K. But I still love you Phil.”
