It's a very nice site and not too much I would disagree with but I'm sure Stephen expected to be shot down in flames, so here goes! Gitane's 1984 Tour the greatest ever? Come on now, take a look at Faema in 1969. ten stage wins 23 stages holding the yellow jersey Final Yellow jersey Green jersey Mountains jersey of course Combine jersey White jersey (had there been one) Team prize And best of all achieved on Reynolds 531 ! It is difficult to describe just how good The Man was in 1969 before he had the terrible crash just months later that ruined his career, but consider this. Janssen won the 1968 Tour after an heroic battle with Van Springel who lost by just 38 seconds. The next year Big Ted comes along and stuffs 53 minutes into Jannsen and one hour ten into Herman Van springel. Not bad for a Tour Novice. Ray Green Brighton, England
