I'm too young to remember him, but I just finished reading his biography by Gerald Donaldson. What an amazing chap he was, some of the antics and things he got up to. Making replacement suspension parts from truck bumpers at the side of the road, mid-race, fashioning all sorts of stuff. I would be surprised if modern racers could change their own tyre.
Apparantly he had a resting heart rate of 40-odd, and it never peaked much above 70-80 during races.
