S. Roche, “I’m not ready for a woman yet.”

Fun Run Robbie got me revved up and sentimental for the late 80’s Tour with his talk of Stephen Roche. I stepped into the youtube time machine and went back to 1987, Tour de France, La Plagne, Fignon, Roche, Delgado, Concor saddles, downtube shifters, 14 gears, Parra, coke can roadside barriers, Peugeot team cars, JF Bernard in the multi jersey… What a day. Roche then went on to win the Worlds in Villard.

Special Guest: Saxo Bank’s Bobby Julich

The Tour has just started & the Two Johns are ready with their analysis so far and predictions for the future.  John G proclaims himself the seer of the Tour & we both offer up our picks for the coming weeks- and that includes tabloid-esque drama & intrigue on the level of a spanish soap opera.

Bobby Julich joins us again to talk about the Tour & life after racing.

John G. give quick recap of the Hyde Park Blast effort & we dive into this week’s feedback with special guest on Skype , Curtis Z. of Missing Saddle:  We get asked, again,  What’s that she says?  Ya-Bone-Eh?  Is the Gentleman Roadie of Portland for real?  Gentleman Roadie responds- ‘I know you won’t beleive it, but it is all true’, is the worlds all that?, some many saddles- so much discomfort, Britsh David has tamp-will travel, Rotor Q-Rings- what do you know?  Not much, youngsters not putting trash in its place,  a bike for every purpose- tt or road?, bibs over jersey guy spotted across the pond, roadies are elitist meanies- that’s why I am a multisporter & more!  This week’s selected listener feedback gets a pair of socks & slipstreams by Defeet.
