Spanish cycling years 90 Indurain, Olano, ...info?

hello
I m from belgium and when i was young I was a little addicted to every cyling race on television for watching espiacally the big spanish riders.
Does someone of you has articles of famous spanish riders in the years 90 Abraham olano, José Maria Jiménez or where can i find them?
Also Indurain, the stories as he wins again the tour the france: the first ...the fifth.
I was too young to remember me Indurain verry good but it is very amazing also the ways he did this, verry calculated in the mountains and great in the time trials (i heard this a lot from the reporters on television)
And Olano,for example the facts of the vuelta in 1998, the relation between olano and jiminez.
I was and still a a very big fan of olano, when i was young(+-15 years) i sent by mail photos to his team ONCE in spain and asked for signing them and resend them to me, but i never got a reaction back, what is actually logical. This moment i find the spanish teams are less good.
I dont find much stories, but i like a lot reading the stories.
Also stories from the battle between olano and tonkov in the giro of 1996
Or in the vuelta the battle with jalabert.
Films at youtube are often in spanish or italian, and i dont understand this very good.
Are there ebooks from it?
I will give you my email adres for eventually posting some stories.

Thanks you all a lot for posting information. I m sure some people have the same interest of me
