    Didn't see that. Good rider that we never saw the best of.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    His road riding mostly before I was born... Sounds a cool guy, would be interesting to see what he would have done if he had been that age today - sounds like he could have been a good classics guy.

    Get hold of a copy of 'Wide Eyed and Legless' by Jeff Connor. It's astonishing, especially when you think of the pro scene now.

    Funnily enough that came up on my recommended list on Audible. Might be one for the commute!

    Easy to forget that until relatively recently nearly all the UK talent never made it to the top level, the ones who did must have been pretty special in terms of their psychology and probably had a bit of luck too.

    Fond memories of the '87 tour.
    Roche battling with his own team, and ANC.
    This was my first road bike for my 16th

    Don't think I could deal with a 52/42 this days though :wink:

    Fair play for coping with any sort of gear ratio with a saddle like that.
