WOW brings back great memories thanks for posting! i remember going to work cock a hoop that an english rider had won a stage for the first time in ages and all me work mates thinking i was potty!
Got to agree with everyone else getting all nostalgic over this Channel 4 montage. Hadn't seen it for 18 years, but could still remember everything. Great stuff.
I havee to agree with you mate, It was this year that got me into cycling and I used to crank this video so I could hear it outside whilst washing my Ammaco Monte carlo and pumping the tyres!
This show is what inspired me to suffering many years of cycling torment/fun!. My mum lost my copy of this years ago! There is a tear in my eye whilst watching it! What an inspirational post.
Well I'd be a bad mood too -- wouldn't you? (Fignon had never been beloved by the French media, and it was really only after that colossal display of human fallibility that they warmed to him.)
Actually, it was after the train transfer the night before the final time trial stage - and the result of a guy under extreme pressure, being hounded by the French press who always put him down
That music brings back memories. Thanks for posting. :)

Fantastic memories. Thanks for posting this Matt.
My 88 final stage tape got worn out from watching it too much!
RIP Laurent Fignon too

Ah, the old Fignon watebottle-toss. Still, gotta love the guy.

My personal favorite is his spit to a camera just after his loss in 1989.
