Bernard Hinault is one of the greatest cyclists of all time. He is
a five-time winner of the Tour de France and the only man to have
won each of the Grand Tours on more than one occasion. Hinault is
the last 'old-school' champion: a larger-than-life character from a
working-class background, capable of winning on all terrains, in
major Tours and one-day Classics. Nicknamed the 'Badger' for his
combative style, he led a cyclists' strike in his first Tour and
instigated a legendary punch-up with demonstrators in 1982 while in
the middle of a race. His battles with teammates Laurent Fignon and
Greg LeMond in the 1986 Tour resulted in one of the greatest races
of all time. Three decades on from his retirement, Hinault remains
the last French winner of the Tour de France. Here, William
Fotheringham shows that while France may one day find a new
champion, there will never be another Bernard Hinault.
