I guffaw with great gasping snorts every time he tries to rub his face off with a towel after the Badger smoked him at the sprint. Though it's discouraging to hear the commentator calling Hinault's victory 'Controversial' or 'dirty.' We Americans really were a bunch of greenhorns back then.
Then an interviewer asks Hinault in a very accusatory tone, "Why didn't you help in the breakaway?" And bless Hinault, he dismissed him with "Because I'm not stupid."
