This was 1987 when there weren't as many en route TV cameras as there are now. If there had been we wouldn't have been treated to Phil's classic piece of commentary.
-
Sorry I missed it, who is that rider behind Delgado?
-
What a rider I was in Paris to see him tremendous
-
I watched the '87 tour as an 11 year old and have vivid memories of this stage. Watching the finish again now just gave me goose-bumps. Amazing stage, great Tour, Roche is a hero and Phil Liggett has never sounded so good.

Cycling Weekly sent me here

Classic cycling moment - commentary by Phil Liggett is incredible and is inspiring
-
Phil Liggert, brilliant commentary. For us brits it's a "Kenneth Wolstenholme moment". What a year Roche had.
-
@FTMJarra sadly there is a strong chance Roche was on the needle, Conconi was connected to Carrera who was a drug doctor! Delgado also was on the juice...
-
2:10 brilliant "Stephen Roche"

Ireland's greatest ever sporting moment

why does the commentator say "surely now Stephen Roche will win the Tour De Francathe" when at that stage he was behind Delgado??

@TonyBananas101 Because Delgado was the better climber but Roche was the better time triallist and descender. This was the last mountain top finish, there was one mountain stage to go (which had a descent to the finish) and a 40km time trial. Delgado needed a bigger lead at this point if he was going to beat Roche overall.
