Hi GDS
Must say that those broadcasts on the "Wide World of Sports" program in the
1980s is what got me into cycling also. They were done by CBS programming
and music was done by John Tesh which he released two CDs of his music (they
were not original though).
Those tour productions were great also - Hinault v Lemond in 86 was the one
that got me into it and thanks to my late father who taped it (on Beta) and
I have watched them many a time over the years. I was only 6 at the time
and still continue to be in love with the sport (road), whatever controversy
comes up.
That's my story ...
