Anyone good at recognising famous TDF mountains/climbs from their profiles?
I recently acquired my 2nd Mario Schifano jersey to go with the one on page 1, this time the KOM one. Each of the polka dots has a mountain profile in it, though there are only 5 individual ones that are repeated across the jersey. Schifano is an Italian artist who was asked to do a series of jerseys for the 1989 TDF, so I'm guessing these climbs featured in the race that year, and I'm guessing again that there are some from the Alps and some from the Pyrenees, but don't know for sure.
Here's a close up, obviously the top left one and the bottom left one are the same mountain, the two middle ones look very similar but are actually slightly different, so 5 different climbs.
I've just had a look on wikipedia for the 1989 route, and from there a summary of the mountain stages for that year included: Pyrenees - Stage 9 from Pau to Cauterets which included the ascent of the Col d'Aubisque and a descent of the Col de Marie-Blanque
Stage 10 ended at Superbagneres and included the climb of the Col de Tourmalet Alps 5 stages- Stage 15 was an individual time trial to the ski station of Orcières-Merlette, but doesn't mention any specific climbs so not sure if there was any classics in it.
Stage 16 was from Gap to Briancon and featured the climbs of the Col de Vars and the Col d'Izoard
Stage 17 finished at Alpe d'Heuz but also included the Col du Galibier and the Col de la Croix de Fer.
Stage 18 was to Villard-de-Lans which included the Côte de Saint-Nizier climb
Stage 19 finished in Aix-les-Bains and included the climb of the Col de Porte and the final climb of the day was Col du Granier.
Anyone able to match any of the above with any of the profiles on the jersey? If so which is which? Thanks in advance to any folks in the know.
