Watched 1992 one last night, this one was the Nissan Classic with Waterford included and what a line up. A kid when this on now a big kid in 3 hr heaven.

Thanks for uploading. Brings back so many memories as a young rider reading about all my heroes in Cycling Weekly and Winning Magazine (we didn't have any TV coverage of these races Downunder).

[@classiccycling48592]

I know what you mean - I still have some of those magazines

[@MrMcdob]

Awesome.. Thanks for uploading, I remember watching the classic as a 16 year old now I get to ride over all these iconic climbs as a 49 year old club rider.. 😀

[@classiccycling48592]

My pleasure!

By far the best video you've posted so far ClassicCycling. They're all fun to watch. But this one has a soundtrack. The bits where U2 starts playing gave me goosebumps. And I love the expressions of camaraderie, Lillywhite winning king of the mountains, crashing and then being towed in by his mates. Beautiful. I loved the crit sections, and of course Sean Kelly, such a wonder to watch. Thank you so much! I could cry....

Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

U2 are dirty globlist bastards

I'm from Cork City, Patrick's hill has seen the best of riders down through the years.

It showcases Ireland to great effect, which was always part of the appeal of this race. No more than is the case with the Tour de France.

Love watching the golden age of Irish cycling. Raced with Irish amateurs Cormc McCann and Philip Cassidy who dropped me on Healy Pass, County Kerry in the Ras Tailteann 1998 but I caught and dropped him down the other side of the mountain 😁

[@alcoyne3333333333333]

I remember watching Kelly and Roche coming down that mountain after Sean Yates live that day it's was amazing and scary 😨 I was sure one of them was going to be hurt on The Loose gravel.

[@shane-irish]

This was when MEN raced on bicycles not the garbage tech laden modern racing. In 2024 you are literally watching racing on $15,000 road bikes, if that was not enough they then use $18,000 TT bikes enough of this nonsense.
