Finding Older Pro Footage
Anyone know where we can find DVD (or VHS) copies from Hinault's, Fignon's, (and perhaps Merckx's) era? (Aside from La Course en Tete & Greatest Show on Earth. Got those.)
I love the old Lemond vids and the Coors Classic Vids (with Alexi Grewal spitting at the cameraman and Davis Phinney's shamefully hilarious whining & temper tantrums) but I'd love to see more of the older stuff.
Anything available out there besides the WCP dvd's?

I had the best results with doing an Ebay search with terms like, "hinault dvd", "indurain dvd" and "giro d'italia dvd".
Just be sure you're getting the NTSC-format DVD's. There were a lot of Australian sellers offering PAL dvds which won't work in the US.
