HIGHLIGHTS! Historic '79 Indoor Cycling Classic -- Recipe for Disaster?

Treacherously steep 50° banking at near 40 mph -- highlights from this historic cycling battle, restored footage to 4K from the very first cycling ever on ESPN, 1979. Wacky action from the two-day in Denver with a rare glimpse of a just 18 year-old, riding this insane bike track for the first time -- 7 years later Greg LeMond would win his first of three Tours de France. BUT...was putting road racers like Greg vs seasoned track pros on these small boards a recipe for disaster?
