Neither rider looks particularly happy. Anquetil was to win this Tour and Bahamontes the King of the Mountains title, and third overall, with Jimenez second in the mountains. However, Jimenez learned well and won the next three TdF King of the Mountains' titles. Jimenez was another great KAS (KasKol Team) rider. Federico Bahamontes,"El Aguila de Toledo," and perhaps the greatest Spanish "escalador," rode for a French team Margnat-Paloma. Who recalls what bike Bahamontes used in this Tour? Who was the sponsor Margnat-Paloma?
