im 34...i watched this live as a kid..cycling changed my life and took me over in such a beautiful way..I miss the old days though..i miss bikes that are built like bikes not 13 pound climbing machines that are flimsey lol !
Wow... remember when the word "controversy" meant "tactics," or at worst, "betrayal"- and not doping? Hinault's betrayal of LeMond, and the infighting on the great La Vie Claire team? The way that Greg rose above all that?
Lemond was the greatest American cyclist of all time, and the greatest sportsman of any era, in any sport.
i rode up alpe d huez last summer the same day as the tour. 5000 people rode up. it was crazy and brutal and a good time was had by all.

I too was a kid when I watched this race. It was the first Tour I had ever seen. I've been a diehard cycling fan ever since.

@MDHS1974 You are so right. Lance was never such a sportsman as Greg.
