David,
Just a little bit more information on Hillman Van Impe
(British cycling joke) 76 T de F win. Director sportif
of Gitane Campagnolo Cyrille Guimard, Team riders
Lucien Van Impe, Hubert Arbes, Andre Chamal, Jean
Chassang, Rene Dillen, Raymond Martin, Alain Meselet,
Robert Mintkewicz, willy tierlink, sylvan Vasseur.
Lucien just missed the mountains prize that year by
one point Giancarlo Bellini scored 170 points to Van
Impe's 169. He only had one stage victory on the 76
tour this was on stage 14.
Ocana greatly aided Lucien Van Impe in this tour
probably because Joop Zoetmelk never helped Ocana in
his epic struggles with Merckx. So the former Belgium
paper boy finally one the Tour.
Best wishes Mick Butler Hunts. UK
