Dauphine Tour & Plane Flight & Bordeaux Paris & Mauberge Criterium @ 1965 - Jacques Anquetil (Ford France) left pictured with Raymond Poulidor (BP) & Rik Van Looy (Solo)
The Jacques Anquetil story runs thus … In a single 11 day period Master Jacques won the 8 day Dauphine Tour, rode the 557k Bordeaux Paris behind a motorized derny then raced the Mauberge Pro Criterium. It was no surprise that Jacques was famous for calling UCI drug tests “an invasion of personal liberty”.
Jacques won the Dauphine Tour, then 2 hours later caught the flight from Nimes to Bordeaux for the 557k Bordeaux race. The plane flight was organised by the French President Charles de Gaulle.
Jacques won Bordeaux Paris by just 57 seconds over his team mate Jean Stablinski with Tom Simpson third. The very next day Jacques drove to northern France to compete in the Mauberge pro criterium.

Jacques wins Bordeaux Paris at the Vincennes Velodrome in Paris with his two derny drivers (the last 300k was paced behind the motorised derny). The second derny was a spare should the first derny break down.
