Zdenko's Corner » Tour de France: The 80′s!
Joop Zoetemelk made a big decision in the winter of 1979; to place himself under the tutelage of probably cycling’s greatest ever manager – Peter Post. Ti-Raleigh’s ‘Kaiser’ guided his Dutch countryman with the lank hair to the best win of his career – the 1980 Tour – with another Dutchman, Hennie Kuiper, seven minutes back. Hinault quit whilst in yellow, the pain from a knee injury too much even for the hard little Breton.
In 1981 and Hinault was back in business, five stage wins and a margin of 15 minutes over Van Impe with a ‘back from the dead’ Freddy Maertens also taking five stages and the green jersey. A year later, he was untroubled in taking the 1982 Tour to make it four wins, Zoetemelk was six minutes back with Aussie Phil Anderson’s spell in ‘jaune’ the high light for many.
The Tour was ‘sans blaireau’ in 1983; a death race with the Spanish climbers in the Vuelta had left Hinault with tendonitis. We vaguely remembered that Frenchman, Laurent Fignon was the guy who crashed when alone in the lead in the 1982 Paris – Tours when his bottom bracket axle broke; he sat stunned on the tarmac as the peloton hurtled past him. Incidentally, Campag say they asked for that axle back, to x-ray it; but it never came – feeding speculation that it may have been a ‘super light’ replacement job.
By Sunday 24 July 1983 we certainly knew who the 23 year-old was – a Tour Winner! Pascal Simon had held the jersey mid-race and defended it despite the pain of a dislocated shoulder; but Fignon bided his time and to erase any doubt about his right to win, dominated the final time trial, running out overall winner by four minutes from Angel Arroyo of Spain.
In Scotland we still talk about 1984 – the year that Robert Millar won the King of the Mountains and finished fourth on GC; it’s up there with 1314, when we beat the English at the Battle of Bannockburn. Talking of battles, it was the Young Pretender who emerged victorious from this generational and cultural confrontation; with Breton Hinault usurped by the young former veterinary student from Paris – Laurent Fignon. Ten minutes was as close as he could get; and just a minute behind him was a young American – Greg Lemond.
Perhaps Hinault’s greatest quality was his absolute refusal to lay down and in 1985 he showed the world that he was still the King of the Tour; despite a bad crash which left him with a broken nose, the Breton again triumphed – number five, to join Anquetil as top Tour chien. In second place at 1:42 was Lemond, well aware that he could have beaten his La Vie Claire Boss, if given the freedom to do so. This was the first Tour we saw in the flesh; deciding we’d had enough of ‘Cycling Weekly’ black and white pictures and three minute slots on the TV on a Saturday afternoon, we thrashed my Peugeot 205 GTi down to the German border to watch Hinault pulverise the field in the time trial.
