Pic of the Day 4th July Respect
How popular was Louison Bobet among his rivals? Near the end of stage 16
from Lausanne to Mulhouse (1948 TdF) Bobet (French National Team) began to
struggle, suffering from indigestion. When Bobet began to loose contact
with the peloton, Antonio Bevilacqua (Italian National Team) repeatedly
helped sling him back to the pack. Bobet finished with the main group, and
maintained his 5th place on GC for another day.
