If it was his then I guess he or someone who knows him will pay a LOT!

"Hampsten repeated his victory in the Tour de Suisse, this time for the 7-Eleven Cycling Team. His greatest moment came in the 1988 Giro d'Italia, on a short stage over the Gavia Pass. Attacking on the climb, Hampsten overcame a blizzard to take the leader's jersey - although he finished second on the stage to Dutchman Erik Breukink. His subsequent overall victory in the 1988 Giro was the first (and to date, only) by a non-European."

if i remember right, he was a american stage race rider who could climb hills faster than most people go down them. i see to remember he rode for 7-eleven

Not a bad rider but I don't think he won the Giro on that
