	Bernard Hinault
		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.
		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.

	Kraftwerk - Tour de France Soundtracks - Review - Stylus Magazine
		Apparently, the album Technopop had been scheduled as a follow-up to 1981’s Computer World and ‘Tour de France’ was in fact released as the album’s first single in 1983.
		Closing the recording with ‘Tour de France’ provides a satisfying unity but also ends the album on a retrograde note, which conflicts with Kraftwerk’s (presumed) desire to re-establish itself as a group still vitally looking towards its future.
		With Tour de France Soundtracks, the group comes across as Grand Old Masters, no longer charting new territories but still capable of creating music of sophistication and integrity in a style originated by themselves and subsequently assimilated by others over the course of many years.

	Kraftwerk - Tour De France Soundtracks
		Exhibit A is 'Tour De France Étape 2' where they capture futurism and the freedom of cycling on the open roads whereas the likes of 'Chrono' recycle the sounds of 'Computer World', their last great album from 1981.
		Given the group's long-standing obsession with cycling a soundtrack for the Tour De France seems tailor made for these pioneers.
		Well, it's almost all new save for the original version of 'Tour De France' as a final track.

		After 3 years in 1984 and up to 85 wins across various rallies The Renault 5 Turbo Maxi was let loose and promptly won the 1985 Tour de Corse but now it was the time of the four wheel drive rally cars and Renault was looking towards F1 more.

		The 4CV also was used by the great Jean Redele who in 1951 with experience in racing the 4CV was to start up a small company called Alpine.

		In the 1970s the company embarked on an aggressive programme of sports sponsorship with backing for the Tour de France cycle race and an association in Formula 1 with Renault Sport and Team Lotus.
		Innovations over the years have included the dual-time watch in 1853; anti-magnetic watches in the 1930s; the first plastic watches in 1971 and the rock watch, the wood watch and the pearl watch of the 1980s.
		In 1981 the Tissot Family finally lost control of the business and in 1983 Tissot quit F1 in 1983 when it merged with another watch firm Asuag to form SMH which in 1997 became known as Swatch.

		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.

	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.

	Cyclomundo's Elite Tours for Avid Riders: Your Entry to l'Etape du Tour 2006
		These highly organized, mass-timed events, which began in La Marmotte in 1981, are the public's version of a one day stage from the Tour de France, but on a larger scale.
		Organized by the ASO (Amaury Sport Organization), the same group that organizes the Tour de France, this popular event enables bicyclists the rare opportunity to ride an actual stage from the Tour de France just days prior to when the world's elite test themselves.
		The appeal of cyclosportives is that they enable bicyclists of all abilities-riding professionals, weekend warriors, beginners-and of all agendas-to win, to compete, to merely experience-to test themselves in Tour-like conditions.

		The incident had inevitably occured in a small hotel at the corner of the Rue de Birague and the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, where a dangerous Polish criminal, who had attacked a number of farms in the north of France, had taken refuge.
		Two or three buses were parked near the Place de la Bastille, and cameras clicked as the tourists snapped it, to take its place alongside the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré-Cœur, and the Tour Eiffel.

		Tour de France (2003) elegantly segues into Autobahn (1975), and a track from Trans-Europe Express (1977) is followed by several from Computer World (1981).
		Minimum-Maximum illuminates Kraftwerk’s true legacy — the mind-bending, side winding melodies of Tour de France, Autobahn, and Trans-Europe Express, melodies that have seeded countless 80s hits and entire sub-genres of techno (electroclash).
		Kraftwerk’s oeuvre lends itself to this a-chronological ordering; it’s not that the album is carefully sequenced so much as that the Moog synths, propulsive drum machines, and Speak-n-Spell vocals are so distinctive even a random arrangement of Kraftwerk songs (and yes, they are songs) would sound premeditated.
