	Bernard Hinault - free-definition
		Victories in the Tour de France were marred by injuries; Hinault was forced to abandon the 1980 Tour de France while wearing the yellow jersey due to a knee injury and missed the 1983 Tour de France due to a knee injury.
		He often acts as a race official, and is a common sight on the podiums at the stage finishes of Tour de France to greet the stage winners and jersey holders.
		The success of his transformation was evident in his convincing victory in the 1985 Tour de France, where Hinault and his lieutenant Greg Lemond led the La Vie Claire team to top finishes.

	Bernard Hinault
		He successfully led a riders' strike in 1978 to protest split stages in the Tour, in which the riders had to ride a stage in the morning and another one in the afternoon.
		In the 1985 Tour Hinault's lieutenant Greg LeMond was under strong pressure from Koechli and his team manager to support Hinault and not try for a victory of his own.
		In the 1980 Tour he was forced to abandon while wearing the yellow jersey because of a knee injury, but he returned to victory in the following two years, 1981 and 1982.

		Armstrong's fierce duel with Ullrich made this centennial Tour the most gripping in years, drawing millions of fans who thronged winding mountain climbs and adorned villages along the route with banners for the riders.

	Bernard Hinault, le "blaireau" était sur le Grand Prix des Nations
		Cinq tours de France (1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 et 1985), trois tours d’Italie, deux tours d’Espagne, le mémorable championnat du monde sur route à Sallanches en 1980, cinq Grands prix des Nations (1977, 1978, 1979, 1982, 1984) et près de trente classiques: aucun roi du peloton d’aujourd’hui ne peut en aligner autant.
		Le Grand Prix des Nations n’a rien perdu de sa valeur, mais les champions qui gagnent le Tour n’y viennent plus.
		Mais c’est de la rigolade: le Tour, il n’y en a qu’un qui le gagne, et les autres qui se sont entraînés toute l’année sont derrière.

		Hinault, Weltmeister von 1980, konnte die Tour de France 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 und 1985 gewinnen.
		Hamburg (dpa) - Der fünfmalige Tour-de-France-Sieger Bernard Hinault aus Frankreich ist sicher, dass Lance Armstrong die diesjährige «Große Schleife» gewinnen wird und nach Tour-Siegen mit ihm gleichzieht.
		Laut Hinault muss Jan Ullrich diese Eigenschaft noch lernen: «Er muss bestimmen, sonst wird das nichts.» Der Tour-Sieger von 1997 sei das größte Talent im Rennsport.

		Hoban rode 12 Tours de France between 1964 and 1978, winning eight stages.
		Barry Hoban, the British former pro whose career spanned the Anquetil, Merckx and Hinault eras, says he’s mystified by the way today’s Tour de France contenders fail to match Lance Armstrong’s preparation.
		In an interview with the BBC, Hoban made the pretty safe prediction that, “unless something catastrophic happens Lance Armstrong will win a record sixth Tour.” He went on to compare Armstrong with other top competitors.

		From Munari’s victory at the 1973 Tour de France, to the 1981 Tour de Corse won by Darniche; the Stratos was world champion for three consecutive years (‘74, ‘75 and ‘76) and also the European champion three years in a row (‘76, ‘77 and ‘78).
		In 1978 the Fiat Group started using the 131 Abarth, although the Stratos kept on racing in the hands of privateers.
		Another aspect of the Stratos that does not appear in any specification sheet is Sandro Munari: given the nickname “Il Drago”, he became one of the first stars in the world of Rallying.
