Yeah, when Boardman won the Gold in 92, all the press and media talked about was the bike - ignoring the fact that his victory margin was greater than could be accounted for solely by the bike. It was depressing, and I was glad that the UCI moved to make it more about the rider than the bike.
I wish they would also make more about the rider than the doctor, though. 90s and 00s cycling has been boring because no-one gets dropped anymore, no-one attacks, it all comes down the TTs. I first started watching cycling in the 80s - attacking tours.
