Some of us are quietly keeping up with this rollercoaster ride of a thread. There was a bit of a lull when the ping-pong started but now back on form. Tread lightly.

Thanks THM (young boy in the 22nd row)

Sorry for the delay...I got dragged into a morning workout with Mr Rat catcher... it all became too much for him... :?

Re:

Here's a great documentary on the Joop's 1980 Tdf win stage by stage with some brilliant race fotage. I particularly like the time trial 4mins 30sec in and the homecoming celebration at the end...Joop looking a bit overwhelmed by it all but his beaming smile says it all.
It's even better if you can speak Dutch... :? ... and the attractive presenter's got a great outfit..
