okay, okay, Eddy and Felice spoke out back in 1982, so it's not exactly breaking news. So sue me. :-)
Still, it's kinda fun to read these interviews from the 1982 issue of Bicycling. page 1 is at.....

here's a quick question and answer from Eddy. Somewhat prophetic?
Q : "Do you see the success of racers like Greg LeMond, Beth Heiden, and Jaques Boyer in Europe as symptomatic of the developments in U.S. racing?" E.M. : "The Americans now racing in Europe are showing already that they have the patience, the physical capacity, and the mental facilities to continue. It is not a fluke that they are doing so well. I foresee new generations of Americans coming up behind them and waiting to replace them."
