He's dancing on his pedals
In a most immodest way.

Anyone who has ever watched the Tour de France on TV knows Phil, and his flights of rhetorical brilliance are legion. Bicycling Magazine writes, -His voice defines the sport the way Howard Cosell's did for boxing and football.- Astonishingly poetic and intelligent, Phil Liggett's narrations lend themselves perfectly to this found poetry approach.
