@dachicagoan if you type in google prendas it should come up with a british company. They sell Z cycling tops among other retro jerseys

@3:50, where is the motorcycle to clear the road for the lead racer? Stupid french organizers. Lack of organizers I mean!

Great ride by Andy and a surprise TV interview with a young Richard Virenque.

i just watched the 88 highlights of Alp d-Huez...hampsten struggled...in fact he did awful. its nice to see that someone so hopeless in one year, can come back and get it done.

you don't pour water on a rider unless he requests it... duh, some spectators are just idiots

[dachicagoan]

what's andy's problem at 3:42 and 3:45??

[hansmasschelein]

You see it often with riders in a huge effort. They are very focused, exhausted and almost dehydrated and then they tend to get very irritable. This year, Di Luca did the same gesture a few times in the Tour of Italy, but there are many examples.

He was kung-fu fighting. Andy is some sort of black belt martial artist, I'm sure I heard Phil Ligget once say that. Hard to verify though.

Andy's probably freaking out because he's leading on the most famed mountain climb in cycling and doesn't want some dork knocking him off his bike. It happens accidentally almost every year where a rider gets knocked off his bike by an over zealous fan. So he's probably just protecting himself from falling. He sure showed that kid!

I just love how Hampsten gets aggressive towards the fans at 3:40! Whooo!!!

[sjl62]

. . . except that the second guy he punches is obviously a ten year-old kid.
