I found this great video on Tracko's site a couple weeks ago. Tom Simpson, brought creditability to UK cycling. Tom was a World Champion and bore the coveted Yellow Jersey.
But was he Britain's greatest cyclist? I disagree on many levels but one thing was sure is his tenacity was only matched by his charisma, yet the pressures of competition and the all important "contract" inevitability brought him to his death.
Whether or not you are an avid cyclist, I encourage you to watch this video. It brings good insight to cycling and the problem of doping. Doping is nothing new and as we move forward we can only hope our sport gets cleaner.
