He won Paris-Nice in 1989 and 1990 right? You saying those were clean? I wouldn't consider that pre-EPO era at all. Looking at his palmeres he went from two WD in the TdF, a 97th, a 47th then 17th in 89, 10th in 90 then 5 wins on the trot.
His higher positions fall in line with his Paris-Nice wins, then he started winning, by monstering it in the ITT and limiting damages in the mountains.
I thought EPO started being used in the late 80s? Puts it in line with Indurain's improved results.
