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
@@JB-uv4hm One or two teams had to ride DuraAce . Teams still had Mavic, and maybe Suntour. And one or two Italian Brands whose names I can't remember. But to the best of my memory Campagnolo was King of gruppo's.
@@johncopple6479 yes they were. Living on the past. Their attempt at index was a joke. But cycling and cyclist were/are very fashion conscious, so Campy was a thing long after they’d been left in the dust.
Heroically tight freewheel clusters.
This is awesome! ...I never knew Roberto Visentini was cycling’s Robert Redford.
@Squishy’s Hellcat 702 Well, that makes me an '80s Italo-American pop culture Karen then, I guess.

Moser and Saronni last hurrah.
@11;48 the last of an astounding 48 days in the maglia rosa for Saronni across his career
Greg Lemon, never mind, never showed fear of being racing in ITALY like you know?
