Did anyone see the brief interview with the Eagle of Toledo, Federico Bahamontes?  81?  Seriously?  I'm never giving up cycling if that's how good I'll look when I'm that age.  He looks like he's in his 50s.  Did they get the right man to interview?

Yeah I saw it. Thought they were going to push on some old guy in a wheel chair, couldn't believe he looked to young, fit and healthy. Perhaps it' was a wind-up and they interviewed his son?
