| | www.cyclingnews.com presents the 90th Tour de France, 2003. |
 | | Nicknamed after the apparently cuddly mammal that's actually a tenacious fighter, Bernard Hinault was the natural successor to Eddy Merckx as overlord of the Tour de France. |
 | | Bernard Hinault rode eight Tours de France, and amassed five victories, two second places, the points and mountains classifications and 28 stage wins. |
 | | And as himself, Hinault excelled in all fields of the race, outclassing his opponents in the time trials, the mountains, and even bunch sprints. |
