I started watching in the mid-1980s at the end of the Bernard Hinault era and the beginning of the Greg Lemond era. I think my favorite racer is Laurent Fignon. I was in Paris for the finish the first time Indurain won. Crazy Spaniards in the streets!

I don't have cable, so I can't watch the Tour, but I do follow it on Eurosport.com and cycling.tv.
