729.0. "CAN'T GET NO PUB" by USMRM2::PJOHNSON () Tue Jun 14 1988 19:02

    Did you notice that The Globe didn't even have an article on
    Hampsten's victory?  The first American ever to win the Tour
    de Giro, and the only publicity I saw was a few sentence under
    the "NAMES:" section of the Globe sports pages.
    
    Bicycle racing has a long way to go in the U.S.

    p.s. I was actually looking for the race results that Matt
         Johnson participated in.

    Hi,
    
    We must haave had different issues, in my issue of the globe there
    is a picture of Andy in the pink jersey and a short description
    of the stage where he took command.  The only thing that worries
    me is that NBC will end up owning the US broadcast rights.

729.2That's TOUR OF ITALYUSMRM2::PJOHNSONWed Jun 15 1988 12:378
    Please ignore my ignorance in referring to the Tour of Italy as
    the "Tour de Giro".  I'll be more careful in the future.  I guess
    I should stick with English.
    
    Reg, please don't flog me.
    
    Regards,
    Phil
