Terrible news, Richard Moore RIP

[Flick of the Elbow]

Just seen the post from The Cycling Podcast with the awful news that Richard Moore passed away on Monday.

I'm speechless. It's awful.

I only discovered TCP last year and love it so much. Richard's warmth and gentleness is evident throughout. I only finished an episode last night and can't quite fathom he won't be in this week's 'feminin' episode that I was looking forward to. It's unreal.

The thing with good podcasts is that you feel like you know the hosts. If I feel like I've lost a friend, I can only imagine how awful this is for his actual friends and his family. What a loss.

There are a few - very few - people in the media that you feel an immediate bond with, and though you never expect to meet them they feel like a friend. Richard was one. There will be a hole in the coverage of cycling from now on.

I belatedly listened to their Milan-San-Remo pod yesterday. Very strange and sad to hear the Buffalo's voice (a pretty good episode too!)

Here is (everyone's favourite) OrlaC paying tribute just before today's Tour of Flanders coverage, and it's a hard watch as she barely keeps it together:

I was willing her to hold it together. She was brilliant.

I find myself very emotional about this man that I didn’t even know. He just sounded like such a nice bloke.
