]]> Comment on Race Radio- how has it really affected the action? by Eric http://chainreactionblogs.com/sport/2011/03/23/race-radio-how-has-it-really-affected-the-action/#comment-786 Eric Sat, 26 Mar 2011 18:11:16 +0000 http://chainreactionblogs.com/sport/?p=128#comment-786 I wasn't paying attention to pro cycling in the 90s, but in the 80s, Hinault had pretty much the whole team at his disposal. Except of course in the '86 Tour on La Vie Clair with LeMond (who had Hampsten and one French guy working for him) trying to take him up on his promise to help Greg win. But team tactics were in force much earlier, back to the Bartoli/Coppi era and before. There's the famous story of Rene Vietto in the '34 TdF riding back up a descent to give team captain Magne his bike after Magne crashed. There's a famous picture of Vietto sitting on a rock wall with Magne's bike, crying as he waits for the team car. Vietto had found out about the crash from a race official on a motorbike.

My question is "Where's the beef?" Seriously though, its such a small quantity it does seem possible. Wow, the tainted meat defense! My question is “Where’s the beef?”
