Of course some of the those "Team Champions" Ocana rode, like the one on which he famously crashed while pursuing Merckx down a mountain descent in a torrential thunderstorm in the TdF, were actually Speedwell titanium frames painted in the Motobecane Team Champion scheme.

"Cycle Sport did a feature on Ocana within the past couple of years with some good photos of his bikes."

Does anyone know how to get a copy of this (I have contacted Cycle World directly and waiting for their reply)?

Many thanks to all who offered suggestions and information about my earlier posting.
