Bernard Hinault was a baller. See this pic? 1980 Liège–Bastogne–Liège. In the Snow. Looks fun, eh?
Hinault took the slack out of the line and won by nine and a half minutes.

Great pics!
I love to hate that double dealing little Frenchman.
The Badger. Excellent choice. Never figured out how he could breathe with his teeth always clenched.
Fuck yeah taking the slack out.
Top photo is awesome.
out-fucking-standing. thanks for my new desktop!
Fuck yeah. The Rule #5 in action.
Today, they bitch when drizzles. Fucking Nancy’s.
Iron men, balls of steel. Get some.
Hinault said it was two weeks before he regained feeling in his hands…I think only 30 or so guys finished – full-on ballers everyone of ’em
…you’re right, el jefe…“The Rule #5 in action.”…
…even chuck norris defers to bernard hinault when it comes to cycling…
I think rule #9 may be obvious here as well…
Here’s a post I did on Bernie with some classic pics:

And if you don’t remember it (or haven’t ever seen it), Hinault decked some dude in the ’84 Paris-Nice. Looks like he could throw a punch, not like those delicates that were swinging wheels at each other in this year’s Tour.
