1988 Milan San Remo im Album @ DIA @

"I was using 53X15, a colossal gear. I caught sight of Maurizio Fondriest, a mere youngster. I knew I could beat him. He had no chance. So on the descent I used a cunning old man's trick: I swung wide out on the bends, pretending to be a poor descender. The idea was to let him come past so that he would make the pace on the straights. He fell for it like an amateur. On the television, the commentators didn't have any idea what was going on: I was totally in charge and deliberately saving my strength and they said I was 'struggling'. Idiots."
