I guess it's the same in all sports.......the most recently retired person knows the current competitors, race tactics etc
I noticed Matt Prior was straight into the Sky commentary box yesterday a day after announcing his retirement and radio 5 always seem to employ the most recently sacked manager as co-commentator on football
I suppose where people like Sean score is that he's actually won a grand tour, classics, and other top races !
