Just how bad a TT'er is Rasmussen

Don't forget the sometimes miraculous effect of wearing yellow - anybody remember Vincent Barteau?

No - did he play up front for Millwall?

Voeckler a few years ago though, he lasted a while in it.

Well, not as far as I know... he was the archetypal journeyman-domestique-in-a-lucky-break, but once he'd got the yellow jersey (in 1984) he held onto it for 12 days.

Although you had to admire him, everything I've read since suggests that he is not exactly a charmer, so Millwall would probably have been his team...

No, that was Donald Pleasance who played in goal for Man. U and France!

Darn it - whenI looked at the link there was another Youtube clip listed as "Michael Rasmussen wins Stage 16". Bloody spoiler

Then I realised that the stage is still under way and it was another year. phew.

They showed that youtube clip on ITV4 - the head over heels into ditch antics were particularly good. It must have hurt, but it wasn't half funny! His TT skills have obviously improved quite a bit since then!

He had a very bad and unlucky day that time so his actual TT ability was not really seen. Also compared to Armstrong and Ullrich he had no chance!!!!!
