In an interview with his own paper at the weekend (that's a little bit RTÉ), Paul Kimmage revealed that he may never talk to David Walsh again.
Kimmage admitted that his relationship with Walsh had been crumbling for some time and intimated it was difficult to accept what David Walsh had written in a piece on Chris Froome back in July. Walsh wrote about how the he defended Chris Froome from what he called a “mob” who had their doubts over his performance in the 2013 Tour de France. Kimmage took his own implied inclusion in the "mob" deeply personally.
On the comment Kimmage said he found it very insulting and has doubts whether he will talk to him again.
What he wrote was also part of it. I don't want to say too much about it out of respect to him, his kids, my kids. I don't know if I will ever speak to him again. We fought in the same trenches for a long time but the difference is that I rode the Tour three times. It runs real deep with me.
The two had played a major role in exposing Lance Armstrong’s part in the world of doping in cycling.
A documentary on his life and career titled 'Rough Rider' is currently in the works and should make some very interesting viewing.
