The epic 15-minute win was in the Giro, while Gaul also won the Tour in memorable fashion, as pointed out in an earlier post. The French book on Gaul in the "La Veridique Histoire" series is a fascinating read. Barring that, check out my story in Bikelore 1, which relies on the above as its source.

P.S.: I may have the last few remaining copies of Bikelore for sale - bought them to initially help finance the project.
