“Critérium Des Porteurs de Journaux” (1951)

I reckon it's time for a Porteur race in Londontown....

Daniele Nardello, who Blazin’ Saddles suggests might have been the first non doped rider to win the Tour de France in 1999 and 2000.

Blazin' Saddles must be a fucking idiot then. Nardello was balls deep into doping.

Great set off photos Gus.

There is, they call it an Alleycat.

R.I.P Fiorenzo Magni

is he wrapping his bartape on the way?

No, he broke his collarbone on stage 12 of the Giro but continued the race, finishing second in Milan behind Charly Gaul. The bartape allowed him to pull on the bars when climbing.

epic!

1980 Tour de France stage 17 Galibier. Robert Alban (next to polka dot wearer), Lucien Van Impe (middle, blue top), Joaquim Agostinho (Puch jersey), and Joop Zootemelk (Yellow jersey).

Why do I see the name Barry Hoban all over the place with quality wins but don't know anything about the bloke.

He needs a variation on his victory salute.
