Ottavio Bottecchia. As an Italian I'm proud to remember the great champion Ottavio Bottecchia (1.18). Bottecchia was the first Italian to win the Tour in 1924. He won in 1925 too and for his temper become a hero in France. Sadly, Bottecchia died in 1927 in misterious circumstances. He was attacked while he was on training on a solitary road by someone who was never identified and died days later for the injuries.
Fico emocionada ao assistir campeões lutando pela conquista tão almejada e ao final sucesso merecido. E vejo você querido sempre lutando pelo crescimento do ciclismo com mais técnica e na conscientização que precisamos de ciclistas com experiências para orientar os mais novos. Se eu ganhar o pleito Municipal ,o ciclismo com certeza despontará no Município Serrano e ES com Campeonatos Municipais ,Estaduais e Nacionais . A união dos ciclistas fara a diferença para esse esporte amado por muitos. Tenho orgulho de você Jefferson Cabral que fez de sua vida exemplo para muitos ciclistas.
Fantastic photo's , amazing footage, well done and thanks. Question is, Will there ever be another Eddy Merckx, doesn't seem possible, they say his style wasn't the prettiest but my God you can see the power and determination that he put into every pedal stroke when he was attacking. And what about Bartali amongst the immortals, nobody before or since with a decade between victories, stolen years. As for my contribution, I'm in the middle of building up an old steel vintage bike, but it is going to be renamed in memory of the first tour winner and will be badged up as a Maurice Garin Galibier "midnight cruiser'. I will give it to my brother in law as a present, complete with Camapgnolo super record rear mech @ Bernard Hinault era.
Alistair Milner Bartali, by the way, saved thousands of jews from death during the WW2, he was a dedicated catholic from poor family. Such a great man!
@@nielskjr5432 Merckx didn't have a still upper body climbing style, BUT he got a lot of his power from his back muscles. His position on the bike was perfect though and 525 victories says it all in my opinion.
The photo of the Tour de France winner 1936 and 1939 is not the one from Sylvere Maes but from Lucien Buysse. Although the photo of Lucien Buysse winner Tour de France 1926 is right.
Copy: Sad but he could be one of the greatest: Ottavio Bottecchia. As an Italian I'm proud to remember the great champion Ottavio Bottecchia (1.18). Bottecchia was the first Italian to win the Tour in 1924. He won in 1925 too and for his temper become a hero in France. Sadly, Bottecchia died in 1927 in mysterious circumstances.

O Narvaez O Bernard Thévenet winner in 1975 et 1977 . Thévenet a gagné les 2 seuls tours de France que Merckx a perdus ! ( Thévenet wins vs Merckx in 75 et 77 )
Officially every one must wear in 2003, but many decades ago there had been many to wear a helmet, like the 1947 tour winner Jean Robic was the most famous one to do it.
My respect goes to those cyclist that in the in the early days did more than 400 Km without assistence , will like to see the 2020 cyclist doing the same today , I think will be interesting
Après, les anglo-saxons ont foutu la merde avec Lemond X3, Armstrong X 7, Wiggins qui sort dont on ne sait d'où, Landis, Evans, Riis sans palmarès , Froome X3 et Thomas....Le prochain....Porte ?
