  • Chris Boardman in the 1994 Tour de France Prologue on the Lotus Type 110, the road going version of the Type 108. Catching Luc LeBlanc was sweet revenge after LeBlanc's comments the year before, when he suggested that an amateur such as Boardman should not be attempting the World Hour Record.

    In the version I heard, Luc LeBlanc in 1993 had said he was unimpressed with Boardman's hour record and that half the peloton could have done the same.
    After the 94 prologue Boardman was reminded of that quote and said "I suppose that shows which half of the peloton Luc LeBlanc is in"

    Maybe too slick to be all true, but I always liked it anyhow....
