May 30, 2007: The amazing Frankie Andreu had a long discussion with WEEU Radio’s Paul Roberts live about cycling and the upcoming Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling, the Commerce Bank Reading Classic Pro Bicycle Race, blood doping, the Floyd Landis scandal and more.  He’s coming to the Commerce Bank Reading Classic Pro Bike Race on June 7th and you should too!  Frankie Andreu is one of the most popular and well-respected names in American professional cycling. He retired from racing at the end of 2000 after a 12-year professional career. During his racing career he competed in the Tour de France nine times.  Frankie's Tours went from 1992-2000 and during that time there were only five winners. Miguel Indurain, Bjarne Riis, Jan Ullrich, Marco Pantani, and Lance Armstrong.  He was one of the team's most selfless performers and most depended on workers. In addition, he competed in three Tours of Spain and one Giro d' Italia. His racing experience not only encompassed Grand Tours, but also included high placed finishes in World Cup events, World Championships, Spring Classics, and two Olympic Games: 1988 placing 8th and 1996 placing fourth in Atlanta.

Frankie is also a gifted writer and his Tour de France commentaries have been published on many different websites. Frankie’s face can be seen on the Outdoor Life Network every July during coverage of the Tour de France.  (17:36)
