No cycling aficionado can argue that 1987 wasn't "The Year Of Stephen Roche".
Unfortunately, his injury flared up again and he never really competed at this level again. By the time that LeMond had returned in 1989, Roche was falling off the back.
Stephen was a great competitor, a classy guy, and by all accounts a fun guy to be around. I don't doubt that he used EPO in his later years so that he could continue to participate. His great accomplishments, however, were done clean.

i remember jumping around my front room as a 14 year old watching this, roche and kelly made ireland so proud, thanks for the memories lads.

I don't agree, Roche was a real tryer, who rode from the front, hence his exceptional success, I would rather be a world champion that win all the races Kelly won, Kelly was remarkable too, though.

Kelly was my hero, Roche had an incredible year but Kelly was the man whom Cycling in Ireland and the world will remember

Indurain almost achieved the same in 1993: he was 2nd in world championship behind a guy called Lance Armstrong

A beautiful moment in Roche's career (and the history of cycling). Can I only imagine how he must of felt at that moment.

you have it now, the Irish riders of the eighties were Roche, Kelly, Mc Cormack, Earley and Kimmage, our amatures gave some performances too.
