  • So, hang on, Roche got into an early break and his own team tried to fuck him over by chasing him down?

    No wonder he told them to piss off and carried on, proving to be far stronger than Visentini anyway.

    This one?

    It's that one.

    Yeah, it was bit more complicated than that; Visentini was a previous winner of the Giro, an Italian, riding on an Italian team, in an Italian race; Roche had had a disastrous '86, after having had an expensive & controversial transfer from Peugeot (note that the Peugeot logo on his shorts - part of the deal that Carrera agreed to in order to persuade Peugeot to let Roche break his contract).
