Here are the quotes I have, more or less chronologically. There are also a handful from Stephen Roche and Mike Smith in the same spirit, just to show how infectious is the great Duffield mindset. Hope you like them! I'm living in Finland at the moment and there is a home-grown commentator here these days, so unfortunately we don't get to hear Dave anymore. This is a development of the last couple of years; he used to be well followed in the Nordic countries too!
Best from Jim.

1996-8

DAVID DUFFIELD QUOTES….

Stephen Roche and I have just been watching this day, not dissimilar to other days, when they go fast, fall off and come in to the finish.

Neil Stephens: the great lion-horse of the Festina team.!

A short sharp reaction.

Laurent Fignon just got bombed by a baguette!

As the french say, there's nothing so long as a day without bread, and Laurent Fignon just got some but there's nothing in it!

If we had a yo-yo championship of the day, Riis would get the award.

No it's not the bedouins! (roadside info tents).

The unusuality of the race.

If the whole thing proverbially hits the fan.

In the blue shoulders, that is Jalabert.

The commentary point we're sitting from now.

I am sitting here with my chin on the counter, my mouth open like a great big whale scooping up plankton. I am gobsmacked!

One day they'll tell him (El Diablo) where to put the fork, and it won't be very pleasant either!

People are almost stripping down to their next-to-nothing.

Look down the valley…if you've got vertigo, sort of…don't look down the valley.

The mountains look black and white. The white is snow because the snow is still up in the sky.

Too many cooks to spoil the broth.

This is not for the lads back there who have any problems with their ticker-tockers! (on the descent).

It'll be time for the proverbial on the fan!

If I wasn't grey already, I'd go even greyer.

And the gap is down to 40 seconds, as I'm getting carried away by the statues!

This is like Wimbledon., Ascot and Silverstone all wrapped in together and plonked in the middle of Paris: amazing!
