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
