From older guys' comments it's obvious Fred was the best cycling TV commentator ever:
very goodtalk, vast experience himself, able to interview any cyclist in his own language (they didn't come from that many
countries yet) -
You can see him numerous times on the WCP video History of the Tour of
Flanders. He had quite a personality. He also rode with Coppi on
Coppi-Carpano. There's a nice photo of Fred, Coppi and Faustino and a
little kid."Van Hoorebeeck Bart" <[email hidden]> wrote in

underrated. They called him "the eternal runner-up" but in fact he won a
[censored] of races, including one Giro's final classment.
