At
the peak of his powers, Hinault seems invincible. His first test of the season,
the Giro, sees The Badger take two time trials and two mountain stages. He flattens
the opposition to win the race . . .
.
. and a similar fate awaits those taking part in the Tour a short time afterwards.
Again, Hinault dominates the same disciplines, although his three stage wins come
from the time trials and the last stage into Paris . . .
