I have just finished reading the book "Slaying the badger" which I think you recommended. Loved it .....especially the portrait of dastardly Bernard Hinault! Still reckon that 89 was the best Tour de France of all time though....

Thanks BB. Long time. Glad you liked the book.

The film version is pretty good and is on Youtube if you fancy watching it. Very interesting how BH and GLM are both framed and interviewed. I really like both of them.

I'm in France at the moment actually and have bought Fotheringham's book on Hinault with me as a holiday treat. We cycled up Glandon and Coix de Fer today in glorious sunshine.

'89 was the 8 second tour win by LeMond as I remember. Incredible.
