The British TdF team for 1955 was a bit of a mixture.

It was called the Hercules team but the riders didn\u2019t all ride for H ercules.

Hence Ken Mitchell riding a \u201cWearwell\u201d bike and still wearin g his \u201cWearwell\u201d shorts.

Fred Krebs \u2013 Hercules

Tony Hoar \u2013 Hercules

Bob Maitland \u2013 Hercules

Dave Bedwell \u2013 Hercules

Dr. Paul Williams wrote - Sounds right. The changer is below the left brake lever. Wearwell is prominent on shorts and just visible on jersey. He has a bandage or brace on

his left knee. A spare tire is wrapped around his shoulders. It is in the mountains and there is a chap running beside him offering another bottle.

Great picture. Did he not ride for Hercules?
