Thanks a lot for that link!northstar said:Hinault’s time was 26:56 according to this report. latimes 1986-08-18 Not sure about the course. Sounds like it may be the same as I read some reports saying the ’13 TT was returning to the iconic ’86 course.

Andy Hampsten rode a 26:33 Vail Pass TT in 1987 & that course record stood for 21 years.That time would have been 12th today @ #ProChallenge
