The interview at the end is priceless: Q How many years have you been a professional? Watch it to get the answer!

You tube is great. You have to remember that we didn't get to see any of this back then. No tv coverage. No internet. The best we got was a write up in Velonews (when it was printed on newspaper stock with a few black and white photos) that was delivered about a month after the race was already over.

I kept looking at the bikes... How far up the saddles were tilted!

Also kept thinking how I don't wanna go back to DT shifters!
