Viking Cycles seems to have had an imaginative marketing department in claiming four victories in the ToB. This includes, presumably, the team race in 1959 which is claimed in a contemporary advertisment. In fact Belgium won the team classement however "the whole Belgian team rode Viking Severn valley framesets"! Pretty neat trick for a trade team to claim the team win in a race exclusively for national and regional teams. ray green, brighton, sussex
