		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.

		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.
