Jacques Anquetil with a pair of dernies competing in Bordeaux-Paris
A tired Jacques Anquetil on his way to winning the 610km long Bordeaux-Paris race in 1965 in which the closing stages seeing riders each being paced by derny motor bikes. The race started at 1 a.m making it a very long day. Thanks to Robert’s Flickr stream for this one.

Jacques Anquetil alongside team-mate Lucien Aimar at the Tour de France in 1966. This was Jacques' last Tour de France and Lucien, wearing the race leader's yellow jersey, would go on to win the race denying Raymond. The photo comes from Robert’s Flickr stream.
