In a Cycle Sport article about Ocana with a Speedwell sidebar several years ago, the author asserted that Ocana rode his Speedwell in the race's final time trial as well (stage 20). I've only seen one pic of Ocana from that stage, from which I could glean nothing, so I have no idea if the author of that piece was correct or not. Other pics?reveal that Ocana apparently did not use the Speedwell in all of the mountain stages, as you suggest.

This bike was only used during one or two mountain stages. On his right find Fuente ("Tirangu") on a great Masi (Kas) with wrap-around seatstays and a very cool color scheme. George
