I watched the 1981 P-R (Hinault win) on youtube last night. (Last half hour or so)

Really enjoyed it. The bikes were much better, as was the commentary. OK it was in French and I didn't understand any of it it, but it was still better.

Hinault looked perpetually furious.

Thanks for sharing, Andy Hood is quite interesting on the Cycling Podcast during the Tour, so happy he can put decent article together as well

Hinault looked perpetually furious.

That fury must have gone through the roof when he was brought down by the idiot's dog (28' 38" in the video). No wonder he rode them all off his wheel in the velodrome.

He was even more furious when protesting shipyard workers blocked the road at the 1984 Paris-Nice - see the image below, taken just after resuming riding, having had a bit of a punch-up with them. I've always enjoyed the angry side of Hinault.
