"As a 7 year old he earned money for his first bike by sweeping dublin floors"- does anyone else notice how liggett includes random information that has very little relation to what is happening.

@maxocchi16 i was 14 when this all happend and a cyclist then.you have to understand something...back then it was an act of god to even have coverage...it came on for an hour a week on the weekend (USA) and for me it was the most important thing...it was also mized in with auto sports and tennis...they put the lame music in there to sell it to the people who would much rather watch NASCAR than what a bike race .they sold and packaged it to NON cyclist, us real riders were happy for a crumb on TV

Am I the only one who gets a bit choked up watching this segment as Roche & Delgado duel it out, with the poignant commentary of Phil Liggett?

@maxocchi16 unfortunately in the USA it does, this was in the lemond abc sports era, where producers tried to infuse drama into a sport that most americans had no clue about and therefore didn't understand the underlying drama and effort that riders made.

I can't hear anything with this awful music in the backgroung!
A cycling race doesn't need soundtrack music like a movie.
