Can't go past stephen Roche in 1987 on Alp d'Huez riding up to almost catch Delgado and probably save his tour in doing so.The excitement in Phil Liggets voice & Roche's collapse after the line adds to the occasion. Or perhaps I,m just remembering my long lost youth spent watching the tour on channel 4 :P

the way they come round the corner and he's suddenly just there - no one quite believed it was im i reckon untill he went flying past themWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

I saw a great clip on French TV this summer: from some time in the days when everything was black and white (1950). It showed the peloton during a stage along the Mediteranean veering off the road onto the beach (St Tropez) and all of them running into the sea to cool off. Then they all got back on their bikes and rode on.
Amid all the turmoil this summer, that really cheered me up. Showed that it can (and probably should) be fun.0 -

How about 1986 Channel 4 interview with Lemond slagging-off Hinault. Telling it like it was: "Can't trust him any longer, says he's helping me but takes the jersey."
Lemond the ONLY man you can say has integrity in cycling! :?I say what I like and I like what I say!0 -

Think that clip belongs in the "Going to hurt in the morning "department . Enjoy watching your clips, anyone know any clips of the old ANC/Halfords squad?0
