Just goes to show you how far we've come . . .

It was probably post-1983 (and accordingly O.T.) when I first heard Phil giving a dynamic play-by-play.  Television in the States only started covering the Tour de France regularly after Greg LeMond was riding.  Seems the majority of us uncultured Yanks have a fixation with sports involving balls, brawling and beer (as a sponsor).

Also probably O.T. - my wife admitted she had the hots for Laurent Fignon. 

Come to think of it, so did I!
