Roche wasn't the strongest of Jean-François Bernard or Pedro Delgado, but was the smartest. JF trounced them all in the Mt. Ventoux time trial. Later Système-U attacked and JF punctured, and Roche and Delgado put four minutes into him!

Thank you for posting this. I still have it on VHS. Great music and awesome coverage! CBS had the best coverage and music ever!!! Too bad pros don't ride with guts like this anymore. Maybe we should get rid of the race radios. LArmstrong destroyed the race tactics of the TdF.

Roche and Delgado attacked when JFBernard was down...that's how you race the TdF! Its a RACE, not a Sunday afternoon leisure ride where you wait for your buddies. I like Spartacus, but man, he should stop neautralizing races for his bosses. That whole chaingate affair of 2010 is just A.Schleck crying sour grapes. He should get over it already.

@nonfictionone Kelly was world number 1. Roche was the best in 87, but as you said thats only 1 year!
-
Thanks a million for whoever sat down one day and thought, I'm gonna post up one of the finest sporting performances ever from back in the day.. Such great memories of watching this - I'll take this as inspiration 'til the day I die. Awesome stuff!!
-
Kelly had much more than Roche. One good season, vs. over a decade of big race wins.
-
if you think of Irish sportsman in the past you think Stephen Roche.
-
Well done who ever posted this . Roche the best sportmand Ireland has ever produced.
-

Check out a young Nicholas Roche at 3:33. He's grown a bit since then!
