CBS coverage of Paris Roubaix, 80's
I don't know how many of you remember the old CBS Paris Roubaix coverage of the mid to late 80's. I was a teen and thought it was great! You have to love John Tesh and his emotionaly charged keyboards! Sean Kelly, Dirk De Mol, Madiot... Come on! The greatest 1hr. of tv every year, back then.
Yes, I was a bike geek. I had a Bianchi with Nouvo Record and hot pink handle bar tape.  |

I agree. they were done very well. I think Tesh won a Emmy award for his work.

Re: CBS coverage of Paris Roubaix, 80's
True, they were excellent shows to watch. It is crazy to think that now we get hours of individual tour stage coverage. In a way, I did like it when the shows were a bit more produced.

Oh yeah....I remember watching the 1987 version when I was about 14. The only thing that hurt more than riding 180km on a bike with a 24 inch front wheel and a rear disc was listening to it being turned inot a soap opera. |
