RIDER BIOGRAPHY
Bernard Hinault
At the 1981 Tour de France, Hinault took an early lead by winning the prologue, on his Gitane Profil TT Aero then relinquished the yellow jersey to Knetemann and later to Phil Anderson. On the time trial to Pau on stage seven, he regained the lead and did not lose the jersey until Paris, beating Van Impe by almost a quarter of an hour. He won five stages, including all four individual time trials. Amidst media criticism that he was riding too defensively in the mountains, he also took victory in the Alps on a stage to Le Pleynet.
