And I agree…if only LeMond could have won one of the Monuments. Who would have guessed that only Tyler Hamilton can claim that feat among American pros. JT–Yeah…you rightfully busted me about Hampsten. Anyone who was a national champion, 2 time Junior Worlds medalist, and a teammate of Matt Eaton in his victorious Milk Race is no mere Cat. 1. Plus, he’s also a world class ghost bike rider…something which I witnessed <a href="http://www.bobkestrut.com/2004/07/05/its-tour-time/" rel="nofollow">in person</a>. (read the last paragraph). But to start your pro career with a Grand Tour takes some moxy. And Bugno’s win at the Ronde was pretty sweet. Sebastian–Good call on Fignon.

Fond du Lac was my favorite race. I remember being the fifth guy through the fourth corner and still seeing guys leaving the start line. i may be making this up. but it seems soooo real!

Bugno did the grand tour and classics thing, apart from Paris to Roubaix. Wins at the the Tour of Flanders and L'Alpe d'Huez are quite a contrast. Also, Hampsten was more than just a cat 1 just before he rode the Tour of Italy for the first time. He was part of the top ten guys in the US and had ridden *major* international amateur races. think Great post.

And in fact he was more successful than Lemond at the classics: two MSR wins, a Fleche, and a podium at Roubaix. I always wondered why Greg couldn't pull one out of the bag. He had at least four good seasons before his accident, and came close many times, but it just never happened.

I think my race was like 135 laps long! But damn, I made a shitload of money that day. Sorry...no Philly this year. We'll be back next year for sure. Hopefully Botero will be back, too. Dana-

I'm also impressed with the numbers that guys like Flecha and Kroon could bang out by the time they pack it in. I remember watching the fianl stage of the 89 tour through the window of a bar at the Fond du Lac crit at Superweek. Wisconsin Rocks...you coming to illadelphia? this is cool Peter.
