Long before Lance Armstrong’s dominance when the likes of Greg Lemond and the 7-Eleven team came to the tour the TV coverage changed also as it was given the US primetime tv makeover . Here are a few good examples including Roches 1987 tour win . ( look out for a very young current Credit Agricole pro , Nicolas in his arms )
