Drug cheat Lemond was on the juice

Mentally Tough @ 47:02/Omni Music (1987) The Ultimate Challenge @ 50:52/Omni Music (1987)

Heroically tight freewheel clusters.

Damn, the women have terrible bike handling skills, crazy. Pedaling while cornering leading to a crash seems to be more common for them. Have seen it happen a few times on the road over the years.

Trump claimed the race was a business failure for him so he didn’t have to pay taxes on it. That, and other reasons, are why this same race became Tour DuPont.

Mr Ciocc the one and only..

cet enc*lé de Lemond ! juiced to the gills, & n'a cessé de cracher sur Armstrong depuis... some f*cking "champ" !

Had a Designer 84 Microf. C. 40 back in the day. SLX. Cinelli BB shell. Fast bike.

The giro course and lack of mountains that year was very different from the modern age of cycling.

8:50 Look 19:23 Colnago

I'm afraid to ask what that service cost.

A friend of mine raced in that race Steve Speaks I use to train with him he rode for Schwinn Ice Hot!! I seen him a few times in this video! I remember it was TV!

I have one of those finish line clocks in my garage. Still works! Thanks, Gypsy!

This was an NBC broadcast and not a CBS broadcast, that being said it may be worth mentioning that as far as broadcast underscore goes Yanni's Within Attraction @ 3:55 has been used by more television networks for use in more cycling events than any other music track in existence.

8:11 World Wrestling Federation announcer crashes bike race 9:57 woah! 24:26 woah! 23:56 woah! 33:31 !!! 33:42 --> guy in motorbike helmet: '..hey dude the wheel looks all weird...it's ok to say you've never done this before...it's just that now is a really shit time to let us know...' 32:36

21:49 - Gilman ghost town in the background it seems ?

"Dum Spiro Spero" ... "While I breathe, I hope" according to online translator. Strangely relevant given recent world events.

Bellisima! ❤️

Inga Benedict?

Back in the day you were lucky to be able to read a 5 line summary in the European sports press, 35 years later you can see long summaries of the actual races, amazing !

3:18 - Lemond, always whining about something ! The badger takes no prisoners...including himself, without the suicide attack in the Pyrenees he would probably have won his 6th TDF ;-)

5:06 Squaw Valley ? A name of the past now...

The Miller Genuine Moments theme music ("Black Hole" by John Tesh) from the NBA on NBC telecasts plays at the 30:02 mark.

Jhc, what kind of paint job is that when the guy don't even care about his own health!?

Davis Phinney was a criterium specialist. If he was there, he would be the favorite.

That Stoner poster though... a little disappointing.

22:34 don't mind me I'm just going to switch to a full disc on the rear in a mass start event

Forza !!! Giro di Italia!! Great stuff . Bull horn bars, dual disc wheels, tubular tires, no Oakley's, no helmet's, no gels, no Power or Clif bars, Castelli was still made in Italy, no index shifting,no cassettes just freewheel's, and Look pedals we're still in development. I think after that years tour de France they became available commercially. And many tech advances became available shortly after this time. Lemond fought his ass off to win this race. But "ALLEGEDLY" there was Italian collusion to keep the upstart American in his place. Allegedly!! I would love to see younger cyclists, racers, see this just so they know the history! Bravissimo & Grazie

The team with Hinault and Lemond stayed at our Vail hotel, and I presented their manager to our chef. Long story short, they ate my preferred meal, Angel Hair pasta with shrimp and chicken, on the night before the Vail Time Trial. The entire team ate the same meal: and they had at least four, maybe five racers finish in the top 14 places. Very proud weekend

I was at the stage in Sacramento as a kid. I grabbed Lemond’s Jersey after the podium and I’ve been in the sport ever since.

Sue! I watched her PR out here in West Texas one perfect April morning , 25 mile TT with gentle winds straight down the course , sprinkles and some clouds , several records fell that day and what a great club O/O°

American Flyers

Era il migliore .....IL PIRATA ..

All these years later the question remains: Which is worse, herbal "tea" or Coors "beer"?

Ah yes, those were the golden days of cycling. All the millenials should watch this. Index shift levers and toe straps baby!

Hinault was so friggin’ good man...

Fantastic footage, thank you! Also, little known fact: Neil Brown's hair was ANSI approved as a cycling helmet.

Moser and Saronni last hurrah.

fun to see the 7-Eleven team mechanic working on their "Murray" branded bicycle frames, when the frameset is clearly a Ben Serotta design with signature "power seat stays".

Hneault had his mechanic strip his bike for the time trial and replace the grease with engine oil to run smoother

Wow! I don't want to be mean, but just because she was a great cyclist does NOT mean Connie Carpenter can be a great cycling commentator. Brutal!!

Greg Lemon, never mind, never showed fear of being racing in ITALY like you know?

My dad too me to see the Sonoma-Sacramento stage. They went up the Trinity Road climb that later would be used in the Tour of California.

Alors il était vraiment une amie à coupable comme la croix de Jésus-Christ innocent

This is awesome! ...I never knew Roberto Visentini was cycling’s Robert Redford.

Thank you for posting. I've been searching for this version since the 80s 😁

thanks from spain . great video . i would be grateful if you could upload more vids of the american tv of 80´s

Am I alone in wishing it had retained its original finish? I would've bought it and kept it that way. :/
