Put the doping stuff aside, what strikes you most when you see the 1st 10 seconds of that video?

For me, it's this: It seems more right to fight for a TdF mountain stage with a cloth cap on, not a Giro. Speaking purely aesthetically, of course.

You mean there's something other than cloth caps to wear on your head?

The mountain top finish rule made sense - they should bring this back they need to bring this back.

I remember watching that...and even watching it today I don't think of the EPO etc...

Great climb and finish!

None of them tested positive that day. As clean as Armstrong, every man jack of them.

This may be a year or two early for the Heliums, but JU was riding them in 99 and possibly 98.

Riis was riding Ada carbon wheels and Ullrich on Campagnolo Shamals.
