Best quote from the video:

Q: How many years have you been a professional?

Andy: Two weeks!

What Team 7-Eleven did at the 1985 Giro (2 stage wins, Hampsten 20th overall, Heiden winning Hot Spot Sprint jersey) was nothing short of incredible.

I love the way they initially assume he meant two years and he had to correct them.

Nice, incredible how cycling has changed in those 25 years. Makes you wonder what thinks will look like in 2035
