| 405.1 | Which one? | NAC::CAMPBELL | | Mon Jul 27 1987 14:35 | 7 |

Which American won the final stage???? Was it Alcala?? He seems
like a pretty good hope for the future. I wonder what him, Hampstead,
and Lemond could do on the same team? Sounds like a good combo!

| 405.4 | Ireland at a standstill | DUB01::OSULLIVAN | | Tue Jul 28 1987 04:51 | 18 |
| Stephen Roche came home to Dublin yesterday, and got a hero's welcome.
A quarter of a million people lined the streets to cheer him on
the eight mile run from airport to city centre. The newspapers were
fully given over to cycling yesterday. For those of us (only 3000)
involved in the sport here , it was quite an emotional day, one
we never thought we would see.
Next stop Austria. Kelly for the Worlds !
Re .1 One to watch for the future.... Greg Orvitz , a Californian
based in France rode our amateur Tour of Ireland (Ras Tailteann
in Gaelic) and won the points classification. Could have won the
whole show but for some strange team tactics. He was very impressive
watch for the name.

| The French may want Laurent Fignon to win, but he'll have
to watch those descents. I still can't figure out how the
bike ended up in the trees and he remained on the ground.

| 405.6 | Mexican, but not a wetback!! | TALLIS::DICK | | Thu Aug 06 1987 15:47 | 5 |
| Everyboby is making the same mistake. Raul Acala is a Mexican riding
for the 7-11 team, he's not an American. At any rate he has been
doing a good job for a rookie. I expect to see him do well in the
Coors Classic too.

| re .4
I got the impression that Laurent Fignon had gone over the guardrail
with the bike and ended up in the trees. He climbed out and was
standing there laughing trying to figure out how to get the bike
out. He went on to win that stage! The man has BIG ones!
I taped the show, and my VCR is sick, so if anyone near LTN wants
to borrow it, send mail.

| RE: .6
If you tell a Latin American that he is not "an American" because
he is not from the U.S., you let yourself in for a speech on U.S.
arrogance. They can be quite touchy and won't excuse it as "just
semantics."
