From the Archives: Andy Hampsten

Andy Hampsten is known to millions of cycling fans for THAT image taken as he attacked in Arctic conditions on the Gavia Pass on his way to take the Maglia Rosa during the 1988 Giro d’Italia,. He would then go on to become, so far, the only US rider to win the Italian Grand Tour.


In a show first aired exclusively for premium subscribers in January 2023, Andy talks Chris through some of the highlights of racing career, from riding as a rookie for Bernard Hinault to winning on l’Alpe d’Huez in 1992, and everything else in between.
