orst ever conditions to do a pro race in

[Tumbleweed]

I think Andy Hampsten would have eaten those sissies for breakfast!!!

 

 

read an interview - about a year back? - with him about that historic day! tough as nails.  

That was the year he won the Giro right ?

 

yup, 1988. he attacked everyone on the atrocious conditions on the gavia pass. i remember him saying that his team didn't have good enough winter gear and they had to do some shopping before the stage.
