Some loved his commentary, some hated it but anyone around my age will remember him calling races back in the bad old days. Sad to see him go.
This afternoon's racing in particular stands out:

Great guy (met him a few times). Very knowledgable about the bike industry and genuinely interested in getting more people cycling - not just selling them more bikes (unlike some bike business people).

I presume Wikipedia will get updated soon -

David Duffield, now at an advanced age and after many years of intense seasons of cycling commentary, which would take him away from home, to far-flung places in Europe, from early in the year until the autumn Vuelta, has apparently retired from commentary and is no longer to be heard gracing the airwaves of British Eurosport. Some say it will never be the same again, while others rejoice. Now at 84, rejuvenated by a heart pacemaker, he still uses his exercise bike and walks or cycles daily. He retains a huge store of detailed memories with instant recall, from his nearly 70 years in cycling.
