Vandenbroucke what a beast.Those races of the 90's were incredible with the best riders of the history.

I loved watching pro cycling races in the 1990s through about the mid 2000s. Some of my favorites were the Mapei team with Paola Bettini, Johan Museeuw, Andrea Tafi and the rest of that talent stacked squad. Then there's Mario Cippollini with the Saeco-Cannondale train. There are riders like Michele Bartoli, Axel Merckx and others. I lived in Colorado from 1984 to 2012 so when my road bike rides involved climbs, I made sure almost all did except for some with flats only just to work on speed, I tried to channel my climbing hero Marco Pantani.

The gearing they pushed on the climbs those days was insane

I find it amusing to listen to the commentary of these races in the 90's when Sherwin and Liggett describe a break as unbelievable, and marvel at the fact old riders are tearing everyone else to shreds. I have always admired the way Liggett called a race, but I call bullshit when he says he had no idea what was going on. Proof positive that Omerta extended well past the peloton.

They didn't have all the feeling of winning last 10-20 kms. They knew It was VDB time to shine

Vandenbrouke chasing the motorbikes. Few dirty tricks from Bartoli could not get rid of VdB

Where did Jalbert finish in this edition of LBL, if he did indeed? Having watched a few of these 'classic' editions of LBL from the '90's, it seems Sherwin, in continually referring to Jalabert attacking a long way out, only to 'explode', is confusing what happened to him in the '97 Tour of Flanders, where he launched a long range attack like here, only to crack and finish way down.
Franky forever. That man had a unique style
