Fignon's dead

This is my favourite pic of him. Its nothing special but obviously the aussie connection. He is wearing the retro knicks i want so bad but never find.

Love this pic - warming up moments before the final TT in the 89 tour

I have an awesome pic in a magazine somewhere of him in a mountain TT in the 84 Tour. French champions jersey, mountains in the background, totally cut and ripped, every sinew in tension with the effort. I'll dig it out and scan it sometime this week.

Some of the most excellent footage I have seen of strength, power and smashing cnuts has involved Fignon. Aggressive, smart, arrogant, colourful...and capable of winning big bike races - the French need a champion like him. The current crop are midgets compared to him.

EDIT - same day, not the pic I am gonna scan though

It would have been better if they had printed the negative the right way round

This one is ace. There is a story behind the Ferrari. When Fignon won the Tour in 84 Renault gave him their top of the range Renault 25, fully decked out. Fignon traded it in for the Ferrari. ahahahahahahah

Like this pic too, Fignon in the white helmet

1989 Tour

It's a pity that he never got chance to use this in anger:

A futuristic bike would be quite fitting for someone called The Professor. I always found it odd that riding for a team that once developed some of the best looking aero bikes of its era (1979 to 1985) with the Gitane Profile and Delta and countless francs spent on biomechanical studies, it was Fignon that lost big in time trials due in part to technological advances - Moser with disk wheels in the 84 Giro and LeMond in the 89 Tour.

That's because you have to use 'technological advances' that actually work.

Like to see carbon used where they currently use Titanium. That would be funny.
