1987 Tour de France - La Plagne

that commentary by phil ligget still gives me goosebumps even now. great mamories.

If Roche was a client of Conconi that was in 1992 and 1993, during his second spell with Carrera at the end of his career. No cyclists were on EPO in 1987.

BUT they were probably all on something else?

SAM1989allen, EPO was not around in cycling in 87, at least do some basic research before slandering a persons character. Just look at the state of Roche after the stage, compare that to known cheaters of later TdF's, no comparison, Roche broke his balls that day, EPO didn't arrive until the 90's.

Well said davidoffon and emirgue................ according to that prick(kimmage) every successful sportsperson is on drugs not hard work,that he was afraid of...........

What is wrong with you people,why do you comment on something you know nothing about or can't spell.Stephen Roche and Sean Kelly are proper Irish Sportsmen not Charlton,Houghton,McAteer,Aldr idge ie. England C Team

Roach pulled along by cars, ridiculous, he was tossed off a cliff once by a whore but dash a difrent story.

As for ermique below me, well said senor.

It takes a strange kind of obsession to do what Kimmage does, also an awful lot of bottle, chappeu to yo.

Cycling takes a very strange kind of comittment to succeed , it is a form of madness and I'm happy tp be included.

(2/3)You can read this and more in The Guardian's article in the 20 anniversary of that Roche´s "annus mirabilis year (web address banned).

Is sad that when among noble competitors everything is solved in a sportive way another people see things that do not exist.

As the Spaniard kid I was, I supported Delgado, but Roche deserved that tour. There was no car helping.
And either in the tv or in the Spanish press nobody questioned the tremendous effort of Roche

(3/3)By the way, in the 1985 Vuelta, Delgado won attacking downhill in the fog, taking a big risk (in 1983 they called him in France le fou de les Pyrinees for the risks he took downhill) and Millar didn´t ralized that he was going ahead. There was no conspiracy. The problem for Millar was worst because his own coach advised him 10 minutes later when it was impossible to catch Delgado.
That´s all
Thanks for the video
