Andy Hampsten Jersey from Rapha


Remember when Andy Hampsten devastated a field of near-frozen Giro riders over the snow covered Gavia Pass?? Me neither. I was 13 and busy listening to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son for the 50 millionth time. Nevertheless, to commemorate Hampsten's incredible ride, Rapha have released this beautiful jersey. It even has a pinned on race number. I don't know why it's there, but it looks feckin' deadly!

Haha, glad you liked the post. I don't have the incredible interviews that you have over on BKW, so I have to make up for it with self-depreciating humour and heavy mental references. Thanks for stopping by!

I love road cycling, I have a 2000 R1000 Cannondale Saeco edition, that I looked for, for over 3 years since the first time I saw it. And since I already got the Volvo edition of the 2000 F2000 Cannondale Mountain bike with the exact matching paint (USA fade) I had to have it! Ever since, I wanted to know what was Saeco and undoubtly got into the Giro racing days of the great Cippo. This is the 3rd. consecutive year I follow the great race (and of course every team that rides Cannondales, like Saeco, then the Lampre-Caffita, Barloworld and now Liquigas). Great history on Hampsten on one of the last issues of Bicycling too!
By the way, do you know how I found your Blog?? there's an on-line competition on this Cyclingnews.com website and the question is the race number of Hampsten on that race, so I google it. And that was it, check it out
