		Lapize was one of the favourites and had a reputation as the best mountain-climber alive.
		Lapize won the stage, which gives an idea of how the other 109 racers must have got on.

		Yes, murderers!') Octave Lapize was as drained as a man can be without being dead but the one thing the climb in the Pyrenees had not done was kill off his hatred for those who had dreamed up the torture he was having to endure.
		Lapize won the stage, which gives one an idea - or, rather, an infernal vision - of how the other 109 racers must have got on.
		If Octave Lapize thought the Tour officials were murderers, what kind of hatred must Christophe have felt, knowing that his chances of winning the Tour were receding further and further with each hammer blow he struck?

		Climbing specialist Octave Lapize, however, was the race’s most consistent performer.
		When Lapize came across the race organizer's car, one word was enough to convey what he thought of the new climbs: "Assassins!" he screamed at Tour director Henri Desgrange.
		Nevertheless, Lapize regained his strength on the descent, caught and passed Lafourcade, and raced into Bayonne victorious.

		Most individual wins in Paris-Brussels for a single rider stands at three, jointly held by Octave Lapize (France) and Felix Sellier (Belgium), strangely enough both riders won their three races “on the trot”, Lapize won in 1911, 1912 and 1913 and Sellier won in 1922, 1923 and 1924.
		Lapize could easily have had four victories but he was disqualified after winning the 1910 race for not observing a neutralised mid-race section.

		All of you!" said Lapize en route to his overall race win.
		Lapize's abrupt words have stood the test of time as the race's mountain mantra.
		Tour riders have a love-hate relationship with the famous and infamous race peaks, and nothing speaks to the severity of the climbs (and to the race directors who devise their ascents) like Lapize's outburst.

		The race founder was unmoved, particularly when the complaining rider Octave Lapize, won the Tour itself.
		The basic format of the race, including these giant mountains had been created and there were four more editions before World War I. In 1911 they were allegations of rival teams poisoning riders, while in 1913 a famous incident highlighted the harsh rules.
		World War I's arrival stopped the Tour for four years, and two former winners, Lapize and Francois Faber, were among the young men of Europe to perish in this conflict.

		The truth is that every former winner largely deserved it, after a long battle against the weather elements, dust, mud, technical problems, punctured tires, and of course other riders.
		Twenty-two year old Octave Lapize starts as an independent, he therefore cannot count on any support or help during the race.

		Garin, Lapize, Pélissier, Leducq, Maes, Van Steenbergen, Coppi, Bobet, Van Looy, Gimondi, Merckx, De Vlaeminck, Moser, Raas, Kelly, Museeuw have all won the event.
		Even Bernard Hinault, who never disguised his loathing for such "lotteries", made sure he included the Queen of Classics on his palmarès first, outsprinting none other than Francesco Moser and Roger De Vlaeminck, winners of seven editions of the race between them.

		It has been said that the first Tour with mountains in 1910 was an epic, with many riders struggling into the night to finish 300- and 400-km stages.
		Octave Lapize was the first man to clear the famous Col d'Aubisque - walking!
		As he trudged past the organizers, he glared at them and muttered the single word 'Assasins!' But he could not complain much, for the bumpy dirt lanes turned him into that year's champion.

		It is on the Soulor that we should stay and watch the riders go by and look in amazement as they make it look so easy.

		When Octave Lapize, who was some 15 minutes behind the leader, reached the pass of the Tourmalet in great pain and pushing his bike (see photo left), he saw a group of race officials and yelled “Assassins!” Lapize sucked it up, though, going on to take the stage and the overall title.
		We weren't out to race the Tourmalet like Lapize, Merckx or Lance Armstrong, we were there to challenge ourselves physically and artistically -- stopping occasionally to take pictures and to soak it all in.
		Of course, stopping to take pictures after an extended section of steep 9% is also a good ruse.
