	Laurent Fignon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hinault had been the dominant force in most Tours for the previous few years, whereas Fignon was a young newcomer on the same Renault team directed by the legendary Cyrille Guimard (Hinault's fallout with Guimard the following year meant that Fignon became Guimard's new protégé).
		On the Wednesday prior to one of his Milan-San Remo victories, Fignon crashed his primary racing bicycle which was built by Cyfac, often associated with Cyrille Guimard's riders.
		On his relationships with Cyrille Guimard and Bernard Hinault, Fignon said that with Bernard Hinault, Cyrille Guimard already found a champion, whereas with himself, Cyrille made a champion.

	Bernard Hinault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the beginning of his career he was closely associated with Cyrille Guimard, an innovator in cycling and Directeur Sportif of the Renault team.
		Taking Guimard's advice, Hinault did not enter Tour de France in 1977 in order to better prepare for the 1978 Tour, which he won.
		"Cyrille Guimard does not listen to you, but in the races he is a tactical genius," on his relationship with former manager / directeur sportif Cyrille Guimard.

	World War 1 and 2 - Bernard Hinault
		In the beginning of his career, he was strongly associated with Cyrille Guimard, a former Gitane rider who became the directeur sportif of the Renault team.
		Cyrille Guimard is an innovator in the practice of cycling, being one of the first coaches to adopt the periodization method, and in the design of the modern bike fit and geometry.
		Disagreements with Guimard led to their separation, and later on in his career he was strongly associated with the Swiss coach Paul Koechli and the La Vie Claire superteam in the mid-1980s.

	www.cyclingnews.com presents the 89th Tour de France, 2002.
		Cyrille Guimard - the former team director that brought Greg LeMond, Laurent Fignon and Bernard Hinault into the pros and showed Lucien Van Impe how to win the Tour, is widely acknowledged as a superb tactician and master of the Tour (I believe he's directed 7 wins with 3 different riders).
		Guimard feels that it is foolish for a Tour contender to defend then jersey during the early flat stages.
		Guimard is a big proponent of putting riders on the attack, forcing chases and, in general, tactical battles, something he feels has been missing from the Tour for years.

	Inside Cycling with John Wilcockson: Boyer and LeMond
		The French team's directeur sportif was Cyrille Guimard (the same guy I'd raced against back in the Sixties before he went on to a successful career as a pro).
		Guimard saw the U.S. teenager up close when he had a mechanical during a key breakaway.
		At the same time, Guimard was fully aware of Boyer's unexpected fifth place at the very tough 1980 world pro championship, in which the American finished with the chase group behind winner Hinault.

	Inside Cycling with John Wilcockson: World champ
		The two protagonists in that amateur race were future French ace Cyrille Guimard and an English colleague on my French team, Peter Head.
		We were all interested in what was happening in Spain, particularly the French riders, who were convinced that one of their big stars, Jacques Anquetil or Raymond Poulidor, would win the world title.
		Even the young, flashy Guimard - who was winning most of the Brittany races that season - couldn't match him, so Pete was only a few seconds behind the race leader going into the final stage.

		At 10:30 PM on the evening before Stage 13 Guimard informed the Tour directors (interrupting their dinner) that Hinault had to withdraw from the Tour while wering the Yellow Jersey.
		Hinault and Guimard knew that the next day's menu of the Aubisque, Tourmalet, Aspin and Peyresourde would be far too much for a limping man who was struggling on the flat stages.
		Guimard had to be lifted from his bicycle in tears in the 1972 Tour while in second place and holding the Green Jersey.

		On a decisive mountain stage, Van Impe was content to let the contenders fight it out then wait until the end of the stage to attack.
		Guimard would have none of this and sternly instructed Van Impe to attack.

		Unfortunately for them, it has now been 18 years since Bernard Hinault was crowned for the fifth time, and no French rider appears ready to end the drought.
		"He does not exist, it's as simple as that," said Cyrille Guimard, the man who discovered and trained the last two French winners, Hinault and Laurent Fignon.
		With five days left before the end of the race on the Champs-Elysees, the leading Frenchman is eighth, while the three best-placed riders from the host country are veterans.

		Guimard's squad will be sponsored by Cofidis and will also include Francis Moreau, Christophe Capelle, Nicolas Jalabert, and Cyril Saugrain.
		This is good news indeed since Guimard has lots of experience with young riders, having taken a significant part in the development of riders such as Bernard Hinault, Laurent Fignon, Andy Hampsten, Steve Bauer, and Greg Lemond back in the old La Vie Claire days.
		And Guimard is the man to show him how to charge the battery.

	World War 1 and 2 - Laurent Fignon
		Hinault had been the dominant force in most Tours for the previous few years, whereas Fignon was a young newcomer on the same Renault team directed by the legendary Cyrille Guimard.
		With his round glasses, ponytail and an air of debonnaire, Fignon was a contrast to Hinault's hard-knocks image.
		Upon retirement Fignon started to become involved with managing several races, most notably Paris-Nice until it was taken over by ASO the organizer of Tour de France in 2004.

		Cyrille Guimard Until the mid 1980s, European pro cyclists trained by accumulating lots of slow miles in the winter and then racing into shape in spring events.
		Guimard, a Frenchman, revolutionized training methods by insisting on a carefully periodized plan.
		I learned about Guimard's methods from Greg, including this tip: "When you have a big event on Sunday, take Friday off the bike, not Saturday.

		Guimard promptly motored up to Van Impe and ordered him to attack.
		Over 4.20 down from the race leaders at this point, Van Impe, an excellent climber, made big gains on his rivals up the Col de Peyrsourde, and on the final climb up Pla-d’Adet blew the race wide open to take an overall lead of 3.18.
		Guimard, in a later interview, compared Van Impe to a “big schoolboy” who had never taken responsibilities.

		Cyrille Guimard, the French coach who has trained more TDF winners than anyone else in history says the biggest improvement in a rider occurs when they train about 10% below their actual anaerobic threshold.
		The truth is the truth, and the truth is degrees, titles, and studies aren't worth a few drops of lube on a worn-out chain when it comes to getting a rider on the podium.
		Cyrille Guimard is the most successful professional cycling coach in history.

	CLASSIC CORNER July 2000
		For 1981, the team offers were coming in, and the best was from Cyrille Guimard, who was the director of the Renault-Gitane squad.
		Not coincidentally, this was the team led by Bernard Hinault, who had not been able to shake the American in the Worlds a few months earlier.
		This "charging" American was getting a lot of attention in the European press, and Guimard and Hinault were eager to capitalize on the publicity.

	Inside Cycling with John Wilcockson: LeMond, man of the future
		Three days after he became the first American to earn a world pro road championship medal, the silver, at Goodwood, England, in September 1982, Greg LeMond began the Tour de l'Avenir (Tour of the Future) as the hot favorite.
		Then 21, LeMond was hungry to win a big European race, not least because he was about to renegotiate his contract with Cyrille Guimard's Renault-Gitane team.
		LeMond had already established himself as a budding stage-race rider by winning Colorado's 1981 Coors Classic in his rookie year, then following up with a string of excellent finishes in early 1982 (second at the Mediterranean Tour, third at the Tour of Corsica and third at Tirreno-Adriatico).

		Many question whether the 30-year-old, who often puts on weight during the winter break, can rediscover form and fitness to challenge Armstrong in the July 3-25 Tour.
		Criticised for his tactics and training by many, including Guimard - who as manager led Hinault, Greg LeMond and Laurent Fignon to Tour wins - Ullrich regained face last year when he pushed Armstrong all the way in the Tour.
		Of the American's five victories, it was the slimmest winning margin.
