When cycling fans talk about the most heroic performances ever witnessed on two wheels, the 1980 edition of Liège–Bastogne–Liège — known as La Doyenne ("the oldest") — always comes up. It was more than just a race; it was a battle against the elements, a brutal epic that turned into the stuff of legend thanks to one man: Bernard Hinault. On April 20, 1980, the Ardennes were battered by an unrelenting snowstorm. Out of the 174 riders who started, only 21...
