I found this clip on You Tube from the 1987 Tour De France - it is one of the most memorable stages of all time and from the era when I first became a fan of the race.
Ireland's Stephen Roche had lost a bit of time to race leader Pedro Delgado but made a miraculous ascent up to the ski station town of La Plagne taking about about 1 minute appearing round the last corner seconds after Delgado. Roche then went on to win the Tour...skip to about 2mins into the clip to see the finish and witness Phil Liggett (Commentating) at his most excitable!
