| Bernard Hinault | Bernard Hinault (born 14 November, 1954) is a French cyclist best known for his five victories in the Tour de France. He is also one of only four cyclists to have won all three Grand Tours, and the only cyclist to have won each Grand Tour more than once. His first place Tour de France achievements were in 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982 and 1985. In addition, he placed second in 1984 and 1986 and won 28 stages, of which 13 were individual time trials. The other four cyclists to have achieved at least five first place victories in the Tour de France are Jacques Anquetil (1964), Eddy Merckx (1974), Miguel Induráin (1995) and Lance Armstrong (2003). The French call Hinault Le Blaireau (the Badger) because of his personality: fiercely independent, outspoken, quick to take offense and often quick with a riposte. (references) | ||
