I was riding from Boulder to Estes Park with some friends that year to watch the Coors stage there
(a hilly circuit race in EP). The La Vie Claire motorhome passed us on the climb to Pinewood Springs
and pulled over half way up so that the team could ride the rest of the way as a warmup for the
race. It was just us on the same road as Hinault, Lemond, Bauer, Winterberg, Reutaman, etc. That was
the day that Hinault and Lemond had their little spat during the race, a carry over from the '86 TDF
craziness. Guido crashed that day and rode the rest of the tour with a nasty black eye.
