Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

Yeah, I treasure Millar's comment about blowing his brains out at the top of the Bonnette.

I guess I will always regard the guys from that era (late 80s) as giants, because that was my introduction to the sport, but another great memory is of Mottet, Delgado & Millar out on the attack to Superbagneres in '89, Mottet & Delgado trying to take time from Fignon, LeMond and the other favourites, Millar going for the stage win... mayhem behind... attacks & counter-attacks...
Suberbagneres was a monster stage 4 Cols, Millar 1st over every one! Those great riders are the reason, i love steel bikes, i could never imagine having a "modern" bike. One of my earliest memories is Jean Francois Bernard winning the mountian time trial on the Ventoux. It was a better sport then, far more gunslingers..
