Give that man a cigar!! I believe Bicycling! soon after had a article on his TDF-winning bike complete with photos. The Torelli website states that Cyril Guimard was the durecteur sportif in 1976, and he and Van Impe didn't get along, so Van Impe went to another team the next year. I believe Van Impe's stint at LeJeune was before Gitane. If so, where did he go after leaving Gitane?
