Just saw this new component on the tour website that will be of interest:
The resources of INA (French Audiovisual Institute) on the official
website
Thanks to this new collaboration with the French Audiovisual Institute,
letour.fr proposes its visitors to travel across time and rediscover the
history of the Tour de France. The data base comprises archives dating
back to the 1947s and permits to make a search for pictures of Bobet,
Coppi and even Merckx. Those who were stirred when watching the feat of
Bernard Hinault or the eight-second victory of Greg LeMong over Laurent
Fignon will have the possibility to relive these major events of cycling
history. A customised version of the INA search engine has been
installed on letour.fr.
