  • Bernard Hinault Est Donc Né À Yffiniac, Le 14 Novembre 1954
    (Ç) Copyright PAC éditions Paris 1978 BERNARD HMUiï 1. QUENTIN / éditions [ME 3, rue Saint-Roch, 75001 Paris 1954-1978 : d'Yffiniac aux Champs-Élysées Yffiniac, dans les Côtes-du-Nord, un gros bourg situé à quelque huit kilomètres de Saint-Brieuc. C'est là que vit celui qui est en train de supplanter dans le cœur des Français les Bobet, Anquetil, Poulidor et autres Thévenet, celui dont on attend qu'il devienne dès demain un des plus grands champions cyclistes de tous les temps. Petit-fils d'agriculteurs, Bernard Hinault est donc né à Yffiniac, le 14 novembre 1954. Son père est employé à la S.N.C.F., sa mère s'occupe de jardinage. Il a deux frères, l'un un peu plus âgé que lui, Gilbert, l'autre a tout juste vingt ans, Pierre, et une sœur, Josiane, qui a vingt et un ans. Disons tout de suite que Gilbert a lui aussi essayé de devenir coureur cycliste, sans aucun succès. De son propre aveu, il n'était bon « que dans les descentes », ce qui, on en conviendra aisément, n'était tout de même pas suffisant. De son enfance, Bernard dira toujours qu'elle a été tout à fait normale, parfaitement heureuse. Il aime à répéter qu'il n'a « jamais manqué de rien ». Ses premiers coups de pédale n'incitent pas à penser qu'il deviendra plus tard le coureur le plus doué de sa génération : Tour de Sarthe 1975 ; ci-dessous, à droite d'Hinault, Moneyron, à sa gauche le russe Morelov et l'espagnol Moral.

To learn more or opt-out, read our Cookie Policy. Strengths: Allows the extras to take centre stage Weaknesses: The photos are uncaptioned. Rather than a conventional telling of Coppi's story it's a sideways look at his life and times, Sykes' interviewees telling their own stories along with their memories of Coppi and their memories of other riders of that era, in particular Coppi's great rival Gino Bartali, along with some stories about Fiorenzo Magni and a few others. Complementing these oral histories are photos drawn from the archives of Olycom, Omega and Offside, some illustrating something that has been said, others simply illustrating aspects of Coppi's public life. Coppi - a private man who was public property. Although there is but one English- language biography of Coppi currently in print, most people are familiar with the basic facts of his life, from birth through death and stopping off at the Coppi: Inside the Legend of the Campionissimo highs and lows in between those two points. As such, Sykes doesn't need to retell stories already overly familiar to most of us and is, instead, able to concentrate on adding colour and shade, looking at old stories from a different angle or adding new stories.

    Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Racing Circuits Netherlands Belgium Germany Austria Luxembourg Switzerland Rob Semmeling Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 2 Contents Foreword 3 Netherlands 5 Belgium 44 Germany 78 Austria 133 Luxembourg & Switzerland 148 Copyright © Rob Semmeling 2009-2016 / all rights reserved www.wegcircuits.nl Rennen! Races! Vitesse! Page 3 Foreword Motorsport essentially consists of three ingredients. First, you need a motor vehicle - which can be anything from a Formula 1 car to a lawn mower, or from a MotoGP motorcycle to a pocket bike. Second, you need a driver or rider to operate the vehicle, and finally, a place to go racing - a circuit. To most people this last ingredient is probably the least interesting. The number of books about famous racing drivers and cars, or great riders and their motorcycles, is far larger than the number of books about racing circuits. However, to me circuits are the most interesting aspect of motorsport, for two main reasons. First is their great diversity: in terms of shape, layout, length, difficulty, fame and many other factors, every circuit is different, and each has its own story to tell. Second, it is fascinating to see just how many circuits there are. Once you start looking, you can find them just about any- where. Finding lost circuits or discovering long-forgotten tracks is one of the most fun aspects of researching racing circuits. When looking for information about racing circuits online, I often found it frustrating that the available sources were not complete, and that they often lacked detail and accuracy. This is one of the reasons why I started my website www.wegcircuits.nl and why I made Rennen! Races! Vitesse! - a downloadable pdf-file that lists racing circuits of past and present in four European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.

Découvert par le « vicomte » Jean de Gribaldy dès 1976, d'abord sprinter, puis chasseur de classiques, il compte plus de 190 victoires professionnelles. Il reste encore aujourd'hui l'un des coureurs cyclistes les plus titrés de l'histoire. Il est deuxième au nombre de victoires au classement à points du Tour de France derrière Erik Zabel avec 4 maillots verts remportés. Il est surnommé « Monsieur Paris-Nice » en raison de ses 7 victoires consécutives.
