I like this one but haven't found it as a real full-size original poster.
that's the one, Eddy has that all-conquering look on his face and Tullio is saying, "dis Eddy, he maka me lotsa lira".

I was looking for something completely different & stumbled across this thread - some great photo's!
For some beautiful photo's I found by chance this site whichI hope the owner doesn't mind me citing here (if I shouldn't being doing this I would ask the mod's to delete the link):
http://cycols.free.fr/It's in french but it doesn't matter as the photo's are incredible. I really like the following

Agreed. Don't have the source, but I remember GW saying this is HIS favorite photo too. This is the only cycling print I own. Super Record white hoods. Eponymous Cinelli stem. Great wheels. And Benotto tape (probably) too!

That was an awesome frame he is on. Carbon Frames out of Sparks Nv in the early 90s. I believe that was Calfee's first deal.
I had a couple of those as team bikes as well.
That picture is from the 1989 world championship race, which pre-dates the early 90s.
Not a Calfee nor a Carbonframe. It was a TVT which is what PDM, ADR, Z & Reynolds used in the late 80's to early 90's. Lemond started to use Carbonframes in late 91 IIRC.

He still rides that bike, and still descends the same way.

The man's been riding extensively, locally and in the European Alps for 50 years and still doesn't wear a helmet. It's amazing he's still alive, right
:):). (and I
still don't wear one when I drive a car. Call me crazy.)
Jobst Brandt finally had his Waterloo. He is no longer alive.

The day after his 76th birthday, Jobst crashed his bike at the Sand Hill Road and Whiskey Hill Road intersection near Woodside during an early morning ride in a dense fog. It was his last bike ride. His serious injuries added to the burden of other health liabilities.
