heres some goodies for everyone to enjoy ( especially nicolas). i bought these awhile back from french ebay. 81 and 83 press kits .these were probably given out to press and invitees at the begining of the year.
the 81 even has the menu from where the event was held.its all in french,
so i have no idea what it says. oddly they give the riders phone #'s.
enjoy them ..............lofter

That's a real treasure you found here, lofter !
I love it ! 
That's what they gave to attendees for the official presentation of the team at the start of the season :
-History of Gitane
-A look at previous achievements
-presentation of a new sponsor (Elf, in 1981)
-Races scheduled for the team
-"Spirit" of the team -that's the fun part- they're all strong men with roots in the countryside and most of them would have been pilots (plane, race car) if not riders
-Individual presentation -note that Greg is named "Gregory" which is a french translation, for example in star wars Han and Luke were named Yan and Luc- and in 1981 they say he's into french food & wine, in 1983 they say LeMond is a french name...
-Then, of course there is the dinner menu with a funny "coupe Hinault" which is probably ice cream with rainbow colors...
Great find ! Thanks for sharing. |
