Just amazed by the comraderiee, sharing of beers, suckers. Pushing ur buddy whilst taking a piss. Extraordinary stuff. Different era,I know we in a different era but somehow I feel there was a greater sense of sportsmanship. Great footage

Lovely great footage. Comraderie was definitely larger than life. I like the way the cyclist stops at a bar to go and "liberate" some refreshments for his buddies. Also the one cyclist that carries on, despite his fatigue, and actually passes out on his pedals. In todays races (names intentionally left out) riders retire if its too cold or raining.
