Even brought a bicycle pump just in case !!! Great thread folks. Must say if it weren't for Sean kelly i would never have sat on a bike, growing up and following his exploits was how i first got started.
I remember reading an article by Robert millar once in cycle sport i think, anyway he relayed a story of how one day he was reluctant to go on a training run in an appauling day near his home in Scotland.
He thought for a second and knew deep down that Sean kelly would be out doing his stuff no matter what the weather was so off Mr millar went.
Just shows us mere mortals how highly regarded Sean kelly was by his fellow pro's.

Cheers Sy, that was a great day. Excellent memories. I think those Big Mig shots are mega especially as, while Georgie was taking them, all his family were chatting with each other and he spent quite a lot of time sitting quietly, looking out the window at the Tourmalet below. I would have given more than a few pesetas for those thoughts. Maybe he was trying to remember if he left the gas on at home but I like to think he was recalling past battles on the hill.

The shots of Fignon are poignant, too. He looked well but his voice ws just a whisper. It was great to see himself and Hinault in such animated debate about God knows what while there was such a hubub around them.
