And yes there really are 11. We had a thread a guy started years back saying that gitane only had 10 winners. The other day I stumbled on that elusive 11th winner can you name him?   Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 7:32 am trois tubes Joined: 16 Apr 2010 Posts: 136 11 ???!!!

Geminiani ended sponsor ship in 64 st rapheal sold the team to ford in 65 . anquetil helped aimar in 66 his last tour . i was reading lucien aimar wiki . my bad ....dam . sorry   Posted: Tue May 01, 2012 2:21 pm Wisey Joined: 19 May 2009 Posts: 631 Location: Brisbane, Australia Hey, we still have more wins than Trek, so it's all good. _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin'   Posted: Tue May 01, 2012 4:00 pm lofter Joined: 05 Mar 2006 Posts: 1162 We even have one less,wise I forgot hinault only won 4 on gitane   Posted: Tue May 01, 2012 4:03 pm sandranian Site Admin Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 2701 Location: Southern California I think my count is accurate: 9 Gitane wins, 12 if you count the 3 from Heylett. _________________ Stephan Andranian Costa Mesa, CA www.gitaneusa.com   Posted: Wed May 02, 2012 1:31 pm Wisey Joined: 19 May 2009 Posts: 631 Location: Brisbane, Australia Well, I'm going to count the three Heyletts. I forgot that Contadoper's second win in 09 with Astana was actually on a trek too. So, 7 for lance on trek plus 2 for bert on trek means it's nine each at this point, yeah? The down side is that gitane currently has no chance of winning another Tour....... _________________ Kind Regards, Wisey Delta Dreamin' tour winners     gitaneusa.com Forum Index » Vintage Gitane You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 8 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Gitane USA----------------Vintage GitaneGitane RacingModern GitanePro Racing - Classics/Giro/Tour....Owner Gallery   Powered by phpBB © 2001-2004 phpBB Group Designed for Trushkin.net | Themes Database.
