One of my favourite riders. They did tests recently on him and concluded he still has an engine big enough to keep in the peleton today. Some athlete and he once listed sleeping as a hobby.
i said he looks miserable, not that he was! he almost looks sad in that pic.
i must admit to not being a fan of his riding style back in the day though, he was so far ahead of his competitors that it made the tour less exciting because it was almost written on the cards that he would win.
i remember he cracked on a mountain climb once, think it was in his last winning tour, i remember being in shock that someone else had finally broke him!
