Was going to start a topic on this myself, but I didn't quite know what to say. I totally understand the reasons (Eric is 77 years old after all!) but this news saddens me greatly He's such a familiar sight at the World rounds and very much one of the Team as well as being a perfect gentleman. It's not going to be the same not dropping round Eric & Ellen's camper for a cuppa and a biscuit, or Eric turning up in the press room with bottles of beer for the workers or watching him work his patter with the ladies (he might be 77, but he still has the patter!)
I know Eric lurks on here so I'll stop now before his head gets too big!, but Enrico, you and your good lady are going to be sadly missed on the world scene - I'll have to talk to Jake now!
