A Look Back at Some Racing History
I just stumbled upon this, some highlights of racing a couple of decades ago:

Thanks for the link. As a newcomer to bicycling I learned quite a bit. For instance, I knew Lemond was a successful racer, but I didn't know he had so many early wins. It's sort of like Armstrong - most folks know he won the TdF lots of times, but have no clue he sweeped the Triple Cup back in '91... netting a cool million in the process.
Great info also on how successful American women were in the early days!
