	Raymond Poulidor - Definition, explanation
		Raymond Poulidor, often nick-named Pou Pou (born April 15, 1936, Masbaraud-Merignat, France), was a professional bicycle racer.
		Poulidor's riding style was more aggressive and attacking, in contrast to Anquetil's negative riding style by which Anquetil prefers to control the race in the climbing stages and win time in the time-trial stages.
		Poulidor recalls Anquetil's last words to him on his deathbed: 'He said to me that the cancer was so agonisingly painful it was like racing up the Puy de Dôme all day, every hour of the day.

	Raymond Poulidor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Raymond Poulidor, often nick-named Pou Pou (born April 15, 1936, Masbaraud-Merignat, France), was a professional bicycle racer.
		Poulidor's riding style was more aggressive and attacking, in contrast to Anquetil's negative riding style by which Anquetil prefers to control the race in the climbing stages and win time in the time-trial stages.
		Unfortunately this was not to be due to injuries in 1967 and 1968, and the arrival of Eddy Merckx in 1969.

	Jacques Anquetil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His last Tour victory (in 1964) was also his most famous, featuring, as it did, a legendary elbow-to-elbow duel against public favourite Raymond Poulidor on the roads up the Puy de Dôme mountain.
		Suffering badly from indigestion after his excesses on a rest day, Anquetil is reputed to have received treatment from his team manager in the form of a swallow of champagne - a story that Anquetil's wife says is untrue.
		Poulidor gained precious time on that stage but when they reached Paris, Anquetil had a 55-second lead over the eternal second Poulidor.

		Forty years ago, Poulidor beat Jacques Anquetil in an epic stage battle to the top of the Puy de Dome that split the population watching on France's only television channel and the many fans who had gathered on the extinct volcano's hot slopes.
		Despite his victory that day, Poulidor's winning margin was not enough to claim the leader's yellow jersey, which he missed out on by just 14 seconds.
		Poulidor, however, refuses to blame his failure to win the Tour on those crashes and says it was the strength of his rivals that prevented him from achieving his goal.

		In 1963 the time trial stages were shortened to try to reduce the advantage enjoyed by the less-than-popular Jacques Anquetil and at Angers it seemed to have worked when Raymond Poulidor finished just 45 seconds behind him.
		At the bottom of the Saint-Bernard, as Poulidor fought the gale ahead of him, Anquetil raised his arm and feigned an accident.
		Bahamontes attacked; Poulidor collapsed, finally crossing the col four minutes behind Anquetil, who descended on his first machine, to which the mechanic had fitted a new cable, won the stage and the yellow jersey at Chamonix, ahead of Bahamontes.

		Poulidor and Anquetil were at the height of their duelling in the Tour de France and their hostility was as personal as it was professional.
		Poulidor wasn't prepared to chase Altig and be outsprinted by Anquetil and Anquetil, who never had much interest in single-day races anyway, would rather a German won the gold medal than see Poulidor, another Frenchman, get it.
		Poulidor, on the other hand, had the air of the slow-talking country boy that he was, a man who'd never even been on a train until he was called up as a soldier.

		However as we saw at the final TT in the Tour last year (2003) it is Armstrong’s preparation and team support that gives him the edge in close run contests.
		Here the ability is closer only by the fact that Poulidor is the younger man. He has won the Vuelta and over time will prove to be a Tour winner.

		Because of this, Poulidor is called “the eternal second”, as he always finished behind Anquetil in the Tour.
		This rivalry divided France into two camps: those you loved Poulidor, who represented the romantic and rural spirit and the notion of perseverance, and those who preferred Anquetil, who stood for rational urbanity and sheer dominance.
		Anquetil died in 1987, at the age of 54, but Poulidor may be found every year at the Tour de France.

		However this week's stages are relatively flat — and the American, as confirmed by Poulidor and indeed the rider himself, will expect a tougher time when the race heads into the mountains at the weekend.
		What Poulidor may not be aware of however is that Hamilton has a bit of a reputation for being a martyr on two wheels.
