Dah Tour is in full force with more broken bones in the peloton than a gambler after a bad day at the races. This year there are 4 American teams competing, but it’s easy to forget how recent the American presence is on the history of the sport. Well, get out your Ray Bans and leg warmers and prepare to rock the mullet ’cause today’s film takes us way back to this 1987 promotional film for Team 7 Eleven, the first American team to compete at the Tour de France, along with an equally inspiring 80s synth rock ballet.

“Hammer it out!”
That video simultaneously amused and disgusted me. It confused me in a way that’s causing me to reevaluate all of the decisions in my life that lead me to this point.
It was magical!

Cool. Lots of Austin shots. 1987 seems so loooong ago…
