That's right. Nicest guy you'll meet, too. Lest I remind you, Hampsten’s a North Dakota product. That’s right. Nicest guy you’ll meet, too.

Been wondering if anyone would post that for awhile. I remember being in high school when Hampsten won it. As I remember, Bob Roll was with Andy on the early climbs, which totally confounded Andy, Mike Neel and everyone else on the team. Lots of crazy stories about Bob Roll, the dude seems harder than nails. Breukink really goes by Andy and Andy doesn't have ANYTHING to get on his wheel. But by the end, he really doesn't seem that far back. What a day. I met Hampsten at a bbq with a few friends in Boulder. Nicest guy, just like you imagine. Still likes to talk about racing but not in the Springsteen Glory Days way. A friend of mine was coaching Michael Barry a few years ago, and Andy would go out training with Michael. Michael could not drop Andy, this being like 2003 or 2004 and Andy must have been 42 or so. Seems the dude can still ride and still does ride. Thanks for the video.

I heard Bob's first hand accounts of that day. Re-freaking-markable. I want to say that he said his body temp was 86 at the finish. That's knowin' how to pay the price. Agreed.

He looks like he is about to die. His accounts of that race are a must read. Check out Bob Roll at the end of the clip. He looks like he is about to die. His accounts of that race are a must read.
