1964 Tour Quick Facts:

4,502.4 km raced at an average speed of 35.420 km/hr.

There were 132 starters and 81 classified finishers.

The 1964 Tour de France was one of the greatest races of all time.

Anquetil had come off his Giro victory that ended just fourteen days before the Tour started and was tired.

His battle with Poulidor culminating in a titanic side-by side climb up Puy de Dôme in stage 20, where Anquetil had conserved just 14 seconds of his lead, is one of the legends of the sport.

Although Anquetil was now the first 5-time Tour winner and the second winner of the Giro-Tour double (after Coppi).

He would never again win a Grand Tour.

Complete Final 1964 Tour de France General Classification

The Story of the 1964 Tour de France:

This excerpt is from "The Story of the Tour de France", Volume 1. If you enjoy it we hope you will consider purchasing the book in either print, eBook or audiobook formats. The Amazon link here will make the purchase easy.

Anquetil started the 1964 season well. He won Ghent-Wevelgem and then the Giro d'Italia. If he won the 1964 Tour he would achieve the Giro-Tour double, a feat previously accomplished in the same year only by Fausto Coppi. He would also perform the then-unequaled feat of winning the Tour de France for a fifth time.

He had taken the 1964 Giro lead in the stage 5 time trial and had held the leader's Pink Jersey for the rest of the race. Subjected to relentless attacks, he was forced to work especially hard to defend his lead in the Giro. The effort left him exhausted. Many wondered if Anquetil could ride an effective Tour that started just 2 weeks after this brutal Giro ended. Anquetil was aiming for the stars. While his 4 Tour wins were the record, a fifth win while doing a Giro-Tour double would make him one of the greatest racers in history.

There were no new challengers on the Tour scene so the main contenders for the 1964 Tour were the same as the year before, Bahamontes and Poulidor.

Poulidor brought excellent form to the 1964 Tour. He won the 1964 Vuelta a España, which was then run early in the year, as well as the Critérium National. He was second at Milan–San Remo and the Dauphiné Libéré and fourth in Paris-Nice. He had every right to expect that he would do well and possibly even win the Tour.

Let's stop a minute and take a look at Raymond Poulidor.

The battles between Poulidor and Anquetil enlivened racing (and arguments between racing fans) as much in France as the Bartali-Coppi contests fired up the Italians a generation before. Poulidor was the superior climber and Anquetil was the better time trialist. Poulidor was never able to gain enough of an advantage in the mountains to make up for his losses against the clock. Anquetil was also the superior tactician and psychologist. When his physical limits threatened his chances he could call upon his superior intellect and salvage a race. This was a gift denied Poulidor.

Here is Pouildor's Tour Record:

By the years:

Here's a selection of other Poulidor wins: Milan–San Remo, Fleche Wallonne, Grand Prix des Nations (even though he wasn't a time trialist of Anquetil's caliber, he was still very, very good against the clock), Vuelta a España, Critérium National, Dauphiné Libéré, Catalonian Week and Paris–Nice.

In 1974, at the Montreal World Road Championships, only 39-year old Raymond Poulidor could stay with Eddy Merckx when he attacked on the last time up Mount Royal, finishing just 2 seconds behind the great man. If anyone could paraphrase Raphaël Géminiani this time, it was Poulidor. He was first because he was the first human across the line. No normal person was going to beat Merckx that day.

This was an extraordinary career by any measure.

In the wars for the affection of the French people, Poulidor won hands down. It baffled and angered Anquetil that even though Anquetil could beat Poulidor over and over again, "Pou-Pou", the "Eternal Second" was first in the French hearts and remains there today. I have often thought that Poulidor tapped into a piece of the French psyche that made Crecy and Agincourt possible. It was at Crecy, France that the English with their technically superior longbows slaughtered the French armored knights. Later, at Agincourt, the French knights jostled for position to be first to hurl themselves against the English longbowmen only to be slaughtered again. Le Gloire (glorious renown) isn't necessarily gained by victory.

To continue:

The 1964 Tour was 4,504 kilometers divided into 25 stages going clockwise, Alps first then the Pyrenees. To increase the drama the Tour would head into the Massif Central and climb the Puy de Dôme, an extinct volcano whose final 5 kilometers have a gradient that approaches 13%.

For the first part of the Tour as the race sped east from Rennes in Brittany, Anquetil was unremarkable. He knew he had a finite supply of energy and had announced in advance his plans to let others do the racing in the first week. He didn't even place in the top 10 of a stage until stage 8.

His teammate Rudi Altig, however, did have early ambitions. After passing through Brittany and Normandy, the Tour headed into Belgium and then southeast into Germany. Altig wanted to be wearing the leader's jersey while the Tour went through his home country. By winning the fourth stage into Metz he was in an excellent position to realize his ambition. He had the Green Points Jersey and was only 31 seconds behind the current leader, Bernard van de Kerckhove.

The next stage traveled through the Vosges, hilly country in eastern France that encouraged breakaways. Altig powered a 5-man break 4 minutes clear of the field into Fribourg and secured the overall lead. Rudi Altig the German rider was in Yellow in Germany. Anquetil was not entirely pleased that his teammate had been so successful. In that break was a rider on the Pelforth team, Georges Groussard, who was now in second place, only a minute behind Altig. Groussard was an excellent rider with fine climbing skills and Altig had given him a 4-minute boost. Anquetil did not relish the prospect of overcoming that time gain just so that Altig could enjoy a little bit of German glory.

Stage 7 went through the Jura, mountains on the northeastern edge of the Alps. Tongues wagged when Poulidor got into a 15-man break that included Groussard and left the rest of the peloton (with Anquetil) a half-minute behind. Altig was still in Yellow but Poulidor had stolen a march on a very obviously tired Anquetil.

Stage 8 was the first full-blown Alpine stage with both the Télégraphe and the Galibier. Bahamontes was first over both summits. Poulidor went after him on the Galibier and came close to making contact with the flying Spaniard. Meanwhile, Anquetil was suffering, losing time on the climb. Once over the top he used his considerable descending skills to try to close the gap. Even with a flat tire he was still able to limit his losses to Poulidor to only 17 seconds. Bahamontes won the stage, Poulidor came in second and thereby gained a 3 second time bonus. Anquetil's worries about Groussard turned out to be completely justified. The Pelforth rider was now in Yellow.

So, after the first day of hard climbing here were the standings:

Anquetil showed he was up for the race the next day in the Briançon-Monaco stage which took in 3 major climbs. None of the contenders was able to get away from the others, and 22 riders came into Monaco, driven hard by an Anquetil who had miraculously found incredible stores of energy. It was a track finish Poulidor should have won, but he sprinted too early, not realizing that there was another lap to ride. Anquetil beat Tom Simpson for the stage. Poulidor's missing (and Anquetil's winning) the time bonus for winning the stage would loom very large at the end of the Tour. Anquetil was now in fifth place, 4 minutes, 22 seconds behind Groussard.

Stage 10b was a 20.8-kilometer time trial and Anquetil won it with Poulidor just 36 seconds behind.

Anquetil was relentlessly hunting Groussard and getting closer by the day. The General Classification after the 10b time trial:

By the time the Tour came to its rest day in Andorra in the Pyrenees, the only significant change in General Classification was that Bahamontes had dropped to fifth. Good Grand Tour riders always go for a ride on the rest day. The body has become habituated to cycling and a day completely off the bike makes it very difficult to start the next day, the rider's legs are "blocky" and devoid of power. Poulidor and the others dutifully gave their bodies the exercise they needed. Everyone but Anquetil, that is. Jacques liked to enjoy life. He went to a picnic and enjoyed himself on big portions of barbecued lamb and as usual, drank heartily. His director, Raphaël Géminiani, was there and apparently encouraged the drinking.

At the start of the Tour a psychic had predicted that Anquetil would abandon on the fourteenth stage after suffering an accident. Anquetil could be a coolly rational man but he took this prediction seriously. It's thought that he behaved in this self-destructive way at the barbecue because he believed he would probably not finish the stage the following day.

The next day, stage 14, Party Boy didn't even bother to warm up. Poulidor's manager, Antonin Magne, knew that Anquetil would be vulnerable after his day of excess and instructed Poulidor to drop the hammer on the first climb. The other contenders, including Federico Bahamontes, Julio Jimenez and Henry Anglade, also sensed Anquetil's weakness and poor preparation and attacked furiously. The climbing out of Andorra up the Port d'Envalira, a climb new to the Tour that year, started almost immediately. Anquetil was quickly put out the back door. The hard profile of the day's early kilometers gave Anquetil no chance to warm up. At the top, Anquetil was about 4 minutes behind the leaders and was contemplating quitting. He had even loosened his toe-straps.

One of his domestiques , Louis Rostollan, who had stuck with him on the climb shouted at him, "Have you forgotten that your name is Anquetil? You have no right to quit without a fight!" Team director Géminiani came up to Anquetil and bellowed his rage, screaming at him to chase the leaders, to give it all he had in the descent. The story goes that Géminiani gave Anquetil a bottle with champagne in it. With this restorative circulating in the bon vivant's system, he could now effectively compete

Anquetil was by now warmed up. He could use his superb descending skill to catch the leaders through the dense fog on the descent.

Into that fog Anquetil went, riding like a man possessed, taking risks no man should take. He used the headlights and brake lights of the following cars to let him know when to slow for corners. He caught the group with Henry Anglade and Georges Groussard and made common cause with them. From the crest of the Envalira it was 150 kilometers to the finish. Given good fortune he had enough time and distance to salvage his Tour. Using his time trialing skills he made it up to the Poulidor/Bahamontes lead group.

With just a few kilometers to go Poulidor flatted and got a new wheel. His mechanic, in a zeal to make sure he didn't lose any more time, pushed Poulidor before he was ready and caused him to crash. By the time Poulidor was up again and riding Anquetil's group was gone. Poulidor came in with the second group, 2 minutes, 36 seconds behind Anquetil.

Here were the standings after that hair-raising adventure:

The story of Anquetil's Tour being saved with a bidon of champagne is romantic, but Anquetil's wife Jeanine insisted that it wasn't true.

Poulidor hadn't given up yet. Stage 15 was a ride over the Portet d'Aspet, the Ares and the Portillon. Poulidor won it and gained 1 minute, 43 seconds back from Anquetil.

There was still 1 monumental, monstrous day of climbing left. 1 day remained for the pure climbers to try to reclaim the Tour. There were still 2 time trials left to ride, totaling 70 kilometers where Anquetil could easily wipe out his 86 second deficit. He had only to ride defensively and not lose more time, the usual Anquetil formula. Stage 16 was 197 kilometers long and had the Peyresourde, the Aspin, the Tourmalet and the Aubisque climbs. The road turned upward almost immediately with the slopes of the Peyresourde coming at the fourteenth kilometer. Bahamontes took off after only 4 kilometers, quickly followed by his compatriot Julio Jimenez. When they reached the crest of the Peyresourde, Bahamontes let Jimenez take the lead and the climber's points. Bahamontes was looking for bigger fish than the King of the Mountains. He smelled Yellow. Over the Aspin Bahamontes again let Jimenez take the lead over the top. The Anquetil group was 3 minutes back at this point. At the top of the Tourmalet the Anquetil group was over 5 minutes back. But Bahamontes could not descend well and his lead was halved. On the Aubisque Jimenez could no longer stay with Bahamontes. Alone, Bahamontes soared to a lead of over 6 minutes at the top. Back in the field the Pelforth domestiques were rallying and chasing, trying to defend Groussard's Yellow Jersey. On the run-in to Pau Bahamontes's lead was slowly eroded until it was 1 minute, 54 seconds at the end. Bahamontes had been away for 194 kilometers. It was a wonderful ride, but he hadn't gained enough time to hold off Anquetil in the time trials. With 1 of the time trials the very next day, he was surely toast. And Poulidor? He sat in the entire day, recovering from his stage win the day before. Anquetil noted that if Poulidor should win the Tour that year, he should thank Anquetil for the work he did that day holding Bahamontes in check.

The new General Classification:

And then, what must have seemed to be the inevitable happened. Anquetil won the 42.6-kilometer time trial, beating the day's second place Poulidor by 37 seconds. Bahamontes was twelfth, 4 minutes back. Anquetil was now the leader, ahead of Poulidor by 56 seconds. Bahamontes was third at 3 minutes, 31 seconds. Groussard paid the price defending the Yellow for 10 days, and lost 6 minutes. It was now a 2-man race.

Stage 20, with its finish at the top of the Puy de Dôme, was the scene of the 1964 Tour's most dramatic showdown. The Puy de Dôme is an extinct volcano in the center of France. It has an elevation gain of 515 meters in only 6 kilometers. It averages 9%, but gets steeper as the road approaches the summit. The tenth kilometer is almost 13% before it backs off a bit to between 11 and 12%. The final kilometer is still a tough 10%. With such a hard incline, its total 14 kilometers could transform the Tour. Poulidor was the better climber and a tired Anquetil knew it.

Probably 500,000 spectators lined the roads of the old volcano, sure that there would be fireworks that day. Upon reaching the Puy, Julio Jimenez and Federico Bahamontes took off up the mountain. This was as Anquetil wanted. This break took the time bonuses out of play. Poulidor would be riding for just the time gain he might acquire by beating Anquetil if he were so lucky. Poulidor and Anquetil were otherwise unconcerned about the Spanish escape because neither Jimenez nor Bahamontes would be likely to take the Yellow. They were worried about each other. Instead of sitting on Poulidor's wheel, Anquetil rode next to him trying to gain the psychological edge. Neither felt very well. "I never felt again as bad on a bike," Poulidor said later. Anquetil felt worse.

As they closed in on the summit, Poulidor attacked and Anquetil stayed with him. "All I cared was that I was directly next to Raymond. I needed to make him think I was as strong as he, to bluff him into not trying harder."

Poulidor attacked again. Anquetil stayed with him. There is a famous picture of Anquetil and Poulidor bumping into each other while climbing the volcano, neither giving in the slightest bit; each trying to cow the other; each riding at his limit.

Passing under the Flamme Rouge (1 kilometer to go flag), Anquetil's attention lapsed for just a moment and he let Poulidor go. There was nothing Anquetil could do. He was spent. Poulidor poured on the gas, racing for the finish line and hoping to erase the 56-second deficit and finally don the Yellow Jersey. He waited at the finish, counting off the seconds.

Anquetil crossed the line, limp with exhaustion, 42 seconds later. He had saved his lead by 14 seconds. Magne, Poulidor's manager, believes that Poulidor could have won the Tour that day if he had used a 42 x 26 as Bahamontes used instead of the 25 that he led Magne to believe was the right choice.

There was the formality of the final time trial in which Anquetil put another 21 seconds between himself and Poulidor. With the time bonus, Anquetil won his astounding fifth Tour de France by 55 seconds over Poulidor.

Poulidor said, "I know now that I can win the Tour."

Le Tour de France 1964 est la 51 e édition du Tour de France , course cycliste qui s'est déroulée du 22 juin au 14 juillet 1964 sur 22 étapes pour 4 504 km . Le départ du Tour a lieu à Rennes ; l'arrivée se juge à Paris au vélodrome du Parc des Princes . C'est l'une des éditions les plus célèbres de l'histoire de la petite reine [1] . Jacques Anquetil remporte l'épreuve après un duel homérique avec Raymond Poulidor , notamment sur les pentes du Puy de Dôme . Ce dernier finira deuxième à Paris à 55 secondes seulement du Normand, l'Espagnol Federico Bahamontes complétant le podium. Cette rivalité extraordinaire entre les deux Français coupera littéralement la France en deux [2] entre les « pro Anquetil » et les « pro Poulidor ». À l'issue de cette course légendaire, « Maître Jacques » devient le premier coureur à remporter 5 fois le Tour de France, dont quatre d'affilée. Cet ultime succès dans la Grande Boucle lui permet également de réaliser le doublé Tour d'Italie -Tour de France comme Fausto Coppi en 1949 et 1952. Ce Tour est aussi considéré par certains comme le plus dramatique de l'histoire (huit morts parmi les spectateurs) [3] .

One day One story - 1964: A duel at the summit on the Puy-de-Dôme

The 2020 Tour was originally scheduled to take place from 27 June to 19 July. To keep the flame of the race burning, letour.fr will relive every day a glorious or curious race event that happened two, fifteen or forty years ago. A trip down memory lane…

Anquetil versus Poulidor was a duel that stoked the fire of cycling debate and far beyond, dividing France into two clans, with each side finding something that appealed to them in the opposing styles and temperaments of the two riders. Already a four-time winner of the race, “Master Jacques” was decked out in yellow when he came under threat on the climb up the Puy-de-Dôme, the venue for their most memorable bout of sparring. Although the stage had already been won by Julio Jiménez, Poulidor managed to break away and leave his great rival in his wake during the last kilometre, gaining forty seconds. In the end Anqueti still managed to hang on to the lead in the general classification and put one hand on his fifth title.

1964 51e Tour de France

1. Résultats et données chiffrées
2. La course
3. Le cyclisme cette année-là

Raymond Poulidor a remporté la Vuelta et sa popularité est en train de grandir. Jacques Anquetil vient de gagner le Giro, mais il a dû puiser dans ses réserves pour dominer les Italiens. Ce cinquante et unième Tour de France laisse présager un duel entre les deux champions français, dont la rivalité divise le pays.

Et ce duel va se jouer au fil des jours, à coups de secondes. Entre Champagnole et Thonon-les-Bains (septième étape, 195 km), Poulidor distance Anquetil de 34 secondes. Le lendemain, entre Thonon-les-Bains et Briançon (248,5 km), c'est au tour de l'Espagnol Federico Bahamontes de s'imposer, mais la deuxième place de Raymond Poulidor lui permet de s'octroyer 30 secondes de bonification, alors que le Français Georges Groussard endosse un maillot jaune qu'il conservera durant dix jours. Le lendemain, Poulidor lève le bras en signe de victoire à l'arrivée à Monaco... mais il a oublié qu'il restait un tour de piste à couvrir, et Anquetil remporte l'étape, s'octroyant la minute de bonification qui va au vainqueur. Le Normand ajoute 46 secondes (36 s sur la route et 10 s de bonification) lors du second tronçon de la dixième étape (Hyères-Toulon, 20,8 km, contre la montre).

La quatorzième étape (Andorre-Toulouse, 186 km) est riche en événements. Dès le départ, au pied du col d'Envalira, Bahamontes attaque ; Poulidor revient, un groupe se forme, Anquetil est distancé ; alors que Bahamontes et Poulidor descendent prudemment dans le brouillard, Anquetil prend tous les risques, puis engage la poursuite dans la plaine ; à 75 kilomètres du but, il est parvenu à revenir ; la malchance s'acharne sur Poulidor : une crevaison survenue à 25 kilomètres de Toulouse lui fait perdre 2 minutes sur Anquetil ; le Limousin se trouve rejeté à la sixième place du classement général, à 4 min 18 s de Georges Groussard et, surtout, à 2 min 52 s de Jacques Anquetil. Dès le lendemain, Poulidor se reprend. Lors de cette quinzième étape (Toulouse-Luchon, 203 km), il attaque au pied du dernier col de la journée, le Portillon, et s'impose, reprenant 1 min 16 s à Anquetil. Le Normand prend sa revanche au cours de la dix-septième étape (Peyrehorade-Bayonne, 42,6 km contre la montre) : il s'impose à son tour, distance le Limousin de 37 secondes et ravit le maillot jaune à Georges Groussard.

Avant la vingtième étape (Brive-le Puy de Dôme, 237,5 km), Jacques Anquetil ne précède Raymond Poulidor que de 56 secondes au classement général. Ce 12 juillet, les Espagnols Julio Jimenez et Federico Bahamontes se dégagent dès les premières pentes du Puy de Dôme et vont se disputer la victoire, qui reviendra à Jimenez. Mais l'attention se focalise en arrière : Anquetil et Poulidor gravissent la pente épaule contre épaule ; Poulidor semble supérieur, mais Anquetil résiste ; à 1 500 mètres du sommet, le Normand cède 1 mètre, puis 2, le Limousin accélère ; il lâche Anquetil, mais son démarrage a été trop tardif. Anquetil conserve le maillot jaune pour 14 secondes.

Le 14 juillet, l'ultime épreuve contre la montre (Versailles-Paris, 27,5 km) va départager les deux hommes. Télévision et radios retransmettent l'événement en direct. La France, partagée entre « Anquetiliens » et « Poulidoristes », se prend de passion. La situation reste longtemps indécise ; Anquetil devance finalement Poulidor de 21 secondes. Avec la bonification de 20 secondes accordée au vainqueur de l'étape, Jacques Anquetil remporte son cinquième Tour de France avec une avance de 55 secondes. Le public du Parc des Princes acclame les deux champions.

Tout ce que vous devez savoir sur Anmer Hall, havre de paix pour Kate et William

L’australie de nouveau plongée dans l’horreur après une seconde attaque au couteau à sydney, à bordeaux, une opération de routine vire au drame, elle décède juste avant son mariage, dans les archives de match - poulidor-anquetil, face à face dans le tour 1964.

Le coureur cycliste Raymond Poulidor est décédé mercredi 13 novembre dernier, à l'âge de 83 ans. À la veille de ses obsèques, retour sur le duel légendaire entre « Poupou » et « Maître Jacques » Anquetil dans le Tour de France 1964... Avec Rétro Match, suivez l’actualité à travers les archives de Paris Match.

La rivalité entre Raymond Poulidor, décédé mercredi 13 novembre, et Jacques Anquetil restera comme l’un des duels légendaires de l’histoire du cyclisme, et du sport plus généralement. Elle a défini la carrière des deux coureurs, parfaite antithèse l’un de l’autre, jusque dans l’épreuve reine... « Maître Jacques » a remporté cinq Tours de France. Malgré ses échecs répétés dans la Grande Boucle, Poulidor est devenu « Poupou », chouchou du grand public qui appréciait la sportivité et la simplicité du champion.

Son nom s'est vite transformé en étiquette accolée en France à ceux qui ne savaient pas gagner. Un qualificatif injuste pour celui qui a collectionné 189 succès durant sa carrière. Mais huit fois, Raymond Poulidor est monté sur le podium du Tour, sans jamais accéder à la plus haute marche. Le Limousin, qui a couru à 14 reprises la Grande Boucle, n'a même jamais porté le maillot jaune de leader. Il s'en est souvent approché pourtant.

Vidéo : les cinq victoires mythiques de Raymond Poulidor

En 1964, Raymond Poulidor remporte la Vuelta espagnole. Anquetil, lui, gagne le Giro italien. Les deux hommes se retrouvent pour un affrontement homérique en France, indécis jusqu'au bout. L'image des deux coureurs sur les pentes du Puy-de-Dôme, épaule contre épaule dans cette montée vertigineuse, restera comme l'une des plus marquantes de la longue carrière de Poulidor, et le symbole de son antagonisme sportif avec Anquetil. Interrogé par l'AFP, Bernard Hinault, quintuple vainqueur du Tour, s’est souvenu : « Personne ne voulait lâcher pendant une bonne partie de la montée. Ça a marqué beaucoup de gens. C'était un moment fantastique. »

Voici le reportage consacré à la rivalité Poulidor-Anquetil en 1964, publié dans Paris Match…

Les deux ennemis ont appris à s’aimer

par Antoine Blondin

La France a été coupée en deux : pro-Poulidor ou pro-Anquetil. Qui avait raison ?

Les péripéties exaltantes du 51e Tour de France, ses rebondissements, son incertitude chiffrable, ont fait pulluler à travers le pays la race éternelle des stratèges de café. Ils ont eu tôt fait, avec quelque raison, de réduire l'épreuve à une compétition entre Jacques Anquetil et Raymond Poulidor, ouvrant ainsi la porte aux controverses passionnées qui s'introduisent dans toute discussion où l'on donne la prééminence au coefficient humain. Négliger le contexte tactique et les modalités techniques de l'aventure pour ne s'attacher qu'à l'opposition entre deux personnalités d'essences différentes, c'est donner naissance à deux familles d'hommes partagées, qui se contempleront chacune en son champion, faisant de lui le délégué de sa vocation profonde. Disons, tout de suite, que les cafés étant en général tenus par des Auvergnats ou par des Aveyronnais, les partisans de Poulidor, coureur du centre de la France par excellence, semblaient à première vue plus nombreux que ceux du Normand Anquetil.

A cette considération d'ordre extra-sportif s'en ajoutait une autre d'ordre sentimental, parfaitement antisportive cette fois, et au demeurant injuste pour son bénéficiaire : jouer Poulidor contre. Anquetil, c'était apparemment adopter le célèbre petit-qui-n'a-pas-peur du gros, espérer voir le dompteur mangé, prendre le parti, si avantageux pour une bonne conscience. de David contre Goliath, Mais enfin ! Le sport implique avant tout le veu « que le meilleur gagne ! Il y a lá, chez certains spectateurs à l'âme sensible, une manière de contradiction qui pourrait, à la limite, s'exprimer ainsi : « Je voudrais qu'il l'emporte parce qu'il est le moins fort. C'est introduire le mélodrame dans la tragédie.

Au départ de la course, il restait d'ailleurs à prouver que Jacques Anquetil, portant en sautoir ses quatre victoires précédentes, était réellement l'épouvantail à abattre et que Raymond Poulidor se présentait bien sous les traits pathétiques d'un malheureux ingénu résolu à forcer un destin contraire ou à tirer des larmes dans les chaumières.

Sur deux points, les spécialistes sont unanimes. D'une part, Anquetil a abordé le Tour de France très éprouvé par sa victoire dans le Tour d'Italie, une semaine auparavant, et l'on s'accorde à estimer à 30 % la diminution de son potentiel, dilapidé généreusement pour faire face, avec l'aide d'une équipe harassée, à la coalition d'une centaine de coureurs transalpins. D'autre part, le tracé du parcours, la prolifération des cols, le profil particulièrement rebondi des étapes contre la montre *, avantageaient légèrement Poulidor. Dès lors, on pouvait estimer que les deux hommes partaient à égalité. La suite a prouvé qu'ils ont bien failli revenir de même.

Le pédaleur lucide et le coureur de commandos

Au terme d'une randonnée de 4 504 km et de cent vingt-sept heures, Anquetil l'emporte donc par cinquante-cinq secondes, qui représentent, en tenant compte de la moyenne générale, sensiblement 540 mètres, distance qui sépare la Concorde du Rond-Point des Champs-Elysées.

Cette marge dérisoire illustre la hauteur à laquelle se situa le dialogue entre les deux champions. On a pourtant voulu en tirer argument contre le vainqueur. C'est oublier que celui à qui l'on reproche aujourd'hui la parcimonie de sa victoire est celui-là même que l'on sifflait en 1961 au Parc des Princes pour s'être emparé du maillot jaune dès la première étape et de l'avoir ramené à Paris sans s'en dessaisir un seul jour. Dans les deux cas, il semblerait qu'on lui en veuille, soit de bénéficier d'un concours de circonstances, soit de bloquer totalement la course. Anquetil serait tantôt un joueur trop heureux qui s'en remet aux ultimes hasards, tantôt un comptable qui verrouille son guichet avant l'heure par crainte des agressions. La vérité est qu'Anquetil prend le départ de chacune de ses courses avec un but bien défini qui implique des méthodes différentes. Malgré la précarité de sa condition initiale, il voulait cette fois-ci gagner le Tour d'Italie et le Tour de France dans la même année, gageure que, seul, Fausto Coppi avait tenue avant lui. C'est chose faite.

A cette rigueur lucide, à ce courage qui se dissimule sous la désinvolture, à cette pudeur qui s'étend jusqu'à une façon de pédaler où la difficulté s'escamote, tout un canton très chaleureux de notre cour peut opposer la manière aventureuse de Poulidor, coureur de raids et de commandos, quand on lui laisse la bride sur le cou. Mais on ne charge pas en maillot jaune et en gants blancs. L'homme de tête du classement général, cible désignée, n'a pas à attaquer, il doit se défendre. Il appartient aux autres de venir le détrôner.

Cette stratégie n'est sans doute pas très spectaculaire, mais si Reischoffen impose l'image d'une noblesse immédiatement perceptible, Douaumont ou Fort-Alamo possèdent une grandeur d'abord obscure, qui finit par éclater lorsque les assauts ont été repoussés. Le maillot jaune est semblable à la tunique de Nessus, il brûle qui le porte. Avoir conservé par cinq fois en sept ans ce vêtement ardent constitue un chef d'oeuvre dont on ne se pénètre pas assez.

De Bobet déclinant à Poulidor naissant, le seul malheur de la carrière d'Anquetil aura été qu'il n'a eu pratiquement que des Français à combattre. Les péripéties de l'histoire cycliste ont voulu, en effet, qu'aucun très grand coureur par étapes, belge, italien ou espagnol (Bahamontes étant un cas à part) n'apparaisse à la surface, Cependant, relisez Chantecler. Une menace étrangère se fût-elle précisée qu'on eût vu aussitôt l'opinion se regrouper unanimement autour du seul super-champion que la France ait produit depuis 1957.

Face à Anquetil, voici donc Poulidor, dont le dernier Tour a fait une vedette à part entière et laissé deviner qu'il est lui aussi un athlète de premier rang. Les deux hommes n'ont en commun qu'une sorte de mutisme d'origines différentes ; Anquetil ne parle que lorsqu'il a quelque chose à dire et Poulidor n'a rien à dire - sinon qu'il admire Anquetil sans réserves. Celui-ci, qui n'est pas de ceux qui renvoient l'ascenseur par complaisance, ne partageait pas les mêmes sentiments à l'endroit de son rival au départ de Rennes. Poulidor en était-il vexé ? Non, mais plutôt stimulé. Anquetil se trouvait-il flatté ? Oui, mais plutôt amusé. Trois semaines d'une bataille sourde d'abord, ardente ensuite, ont modifié cette inégalité des sentiments. L'accolade que se sont donnée le vainqueur et le vaincu,' leur commun tour d'honneur, témoignent que le Tour de France peut confirmer une suprématie tout en affirmant une consécration, il y avait certainement là une minute d'estime réciproque toujours bonne à prendre. En définitive, Poulidor n'aura été la révélation du Tour que pour Anquetil.

Poulidor appelle Antonin Magne « Monsieur »

Pour le reste, au regard de l'athlète de race que représente Anquetil, Poulidor a fait longtemps figure d'autodidacte de la bicyclette. Fils de cultivateurs dans le Limousin, il travaillait aux champs jusqu'à la tombée du soir, puis s'entraînait à la belle étoile, trimardeur ailé qui demandait à chaque borne kilométrique la récompense de son effort. Il parcourait ainsi une soixantaine de kilomètres. Le lendemain, il était debout à cinq heures. Lorsqu'il se mit en tête d'apporter dans la compétition la récolte qu'il avait patiemment semée dans ses sillons nocturnes, il s'imposa d'emblée aux connalsseurs et au public par son éclatante santé, sa faculté de mettre la panique dans un peloton, son nom enfin, dont Jean Bobet affirme qu'il signifie en langue d'oc digne d'être aimé ». Et on l'aima d'instinct comme le représentant du terroir même et de ses vertus traditionnelles. Il était le rat des champs » qui allait en remontrer aux « rats des villes ».

Là où Anquetil, totalement dépourvu de démagogie et de cabotinage, semblait négliger les faveurs que les foules étaient prêtes à lui accorder, Poulidor acceptait gentiment une gloire qu'il n'avait pas cherchée. Là où Anquetil, semblait concevoir son vélo comme l'instrument d'un virtuose capricieux, celui de Poulidor apparaissait dans toute la majesté rugueuse de l'outil. Là où Anquetil ne se refusait aucune des joies de l'existence, défrayait parfois la chronique avec une rare franchise, ne s'infligeait aucun régime, Poulidor se retirait dans ses terres, s'effrayait de sa fortune naissante, la convertissait en cheptel. En apparence, le vieil esprit d'épargne si cher aux Français allait en remontrer à l'esprit de prodigalité. Cet esprit de prodigalité qui s'éteignait si rapidement en course pour faire place aux calculs les plus féroces ; cet esprit d'épargne qui s'oubliait généreusement dès que le sport entrait en jeu,

De telles oppositions sont un peu simplistes. Chacun sait, en effet, que Jacques Anquetil est un homme d'affaires d'une intelligence extrêmement avisée, qu'il mène une vie jalousement retirée et que s'il est l'homme des paris c'est qu'il sait être également un coureur à panache. Chacun n'ignore pas non plus que le panache incontestable de Poulidor peut s'apparenter. parfois à un « casque à mèche », bonnet de nuit dont il se coiffe lorsque, sous la houlette de son directeur sportif, le sage Antonin Magne, il subit la course plus qu'il ne l'anime.

La différence de climat entre les équipes, où évoluent respectivement les deux hommes, situe peut-être ce qui les sépare. Dans celle de Poulidor, on dit a vous à Antonin Magne, on l'appelle monsieur. Le soir, on se réunit dans l'obscurité et le directeur sportif promène un pendule sur ses coureurs, émettant des diagnostics d'une justesse impressionnante dont l'effet de stupeur renforce son autorité. Sur la route, on ne s'agite guère mais on souffre. On se sent gaulois (dans le sens Vercingétorix du terme) jusqu'au bout des pédales. Ensuite, on se tait. Mais l'ambition est là, qui bout comme une soupe, austèrement saupoudrée de conscience professionnelle.

Anquetil sable le champagne la veille des courses

Chez Anquetil, au contraire, le directeur sportif est un copain, presque un complice. On a souvent couru ensemble. La veille d'une course on sable le champagne et on joue au bridge fort avant dans la nuit. Raphaël Geminiani, le mentor, n'est pas le moins déchaîné et sur la route, il stimule ses hommes à la manière d'un barreur d'aviron. Anquetil sait qu'il peut s'en remettre à lui pour tout ce qui concerne les astuces de la course. il ne lui reste plus qu'à passer les vitesses surhumaines que, lui seul au monde, est capable d'utiliser. Ensuite, on oublie la bicyclette pour parler d'autre chose et le témoin se prend à se demander si le plus humain des deux ne se trouve pas ici...

Aujourd'hui qu'une même place au soleil leur est justement faite, nous voudrions transposer pour eux le fameux parallèle entre Racine et Corneille : Raymond Poulidor incarne et illustre le champion tel qu'il est, Anquetil le champion tel qu'il devrait être.

Experience a Beatles' Concert the way it was performed over 60 years ago...

The Beatles toured the world in the early 1960's, but now only a precious few remain who actually saw them LIVE. Who actually felt the "mania" that brought them to world acclaim.

Today, all that remains are a few scant memories and some captured images in pictures and on poor quality film and video.

"1964" meticulously re-creates the "MAGIC" of those LIVE Beatles' performances with artful precision and unerring accuracy.

For those that never saw The Beatles LIVE and always wanted to know what it must have been like...this is as close as anyone could possibly get to...FEELING the MAGIC!

For over 40 years, "1964" has thrilled audiences with what is considered to be the most authentic and endearing tribute to The Beatles.

This has been accomplished by a steady and consistent cast of talented professional musicians, who painstakingly recreate the look, feel and note for note sound of an actual LIVE Beatles performance.

"Best Beatles Tribute on Earth"

Rolling Stone

Choosing songs from the pre-Sgt. Pepper era, “1964” astonishingly recreates an early 60’s live Beatles concert, with period instruments, clothing, hairstyles, and onstage banter.

Come see why 1964 The Tribute has been called the "Best Beatles Tribute on Earth".

When Ron Howard released his film about the touring years of The Beatles called, 'Eight Days A Week', we were all reminded how fun and exciting a Beatles concert was.

Though all the phases of their incredible career were ground breaking, these early concert days are certainly what created the 'MANIA' around the group.

Since 'the touring years' is exactly what 1964 The Tribute focuses on, we offer this promo as a thank you to Ron Howard and, of course The Beatles Come see what 4 guys, 3 guitars, and a drum set can do!

The Rolling Stones are only a few months removed from their most recent album, but already they’re back with a different title. Hackney Diamonds was released in late 2023, and it gave the band another huge commercial win all around the world. That title is no longer present on the Billboard charts, but this week, another beloved set from the group returns to a pair of lists.

Hot Rocks 1964-1971 finds its way back to a pair of Billboard rankings this frame. Americans are still enamored with the Rolling Stones, so it makes sense that the band’s most successful title in the country would be a collection of their biggest hits.

On the Billboard 200, Hot Rocks 1964-1971 reappears at No. 180. The tally ranks the most-consumed projects in the U.S., regardless of style or release date. It uses a methodology that combines sales with other forms of consumption, such as various kinds of streaming.

Hot Rocks 1964-1971 re-enters the most important albums chart in America at No. 180. That’s a far cry from its No. 4 peak, but the fact that it returns at all is impressive.

In the past tracking period, Hot Rocks 1964-1971 moved another 7,991 units. That sum includes just 167 sales, as well as thousands of equivalent units made up from streams of all the tunes featured on the project.

As Hot Rocks 1964-1971 lands on the Billboard 200 again, it also reaches one of the chart company’s rock-only lists. The compilation is back on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking, which focuses only on the most-consumed titles that fit either of those styles.

World’s top golfer Scottie Scheffler visited this Dallas bar after win at The Masters

Inwood tavern is one of dallas’ oldest bars, dating back to 1964..

Scottie Scheffler won the Masters golf tournament on Sunday, April 14, 2024, in Augusta, Ga....

After Highland Park golfer Scottie Scheffler won his second green jacket in three years at the Masters Tournament on Sunday, he flew home to Texas and visited Dallas’ venerable Inwood Tavern.

Scottie Scheffler, center, is a Highland Park High School grad who has won the Masters...

The Love Field-area watering hole has been open in Dallas for 60 years, since 1964, making it one of North Texas’ longest-running bars .

Inwood Tavern is a pool hall, sports bar and patio hangout in one. It’s the kind of place where Scheffler, fresh off a Masters win, can slip in without much fuss. Manager Sam Graves said the day after Scheffler’s appearance at Inwood Tavern that she and her staff want celebrities to be able to blend in.

Actor Owen Wilson is another such celebrity who has visited Inwood Tavern.

Dialed-in Dallasites watched the Masters impatiently, wondering if Scheffler would be able to finish the tournament. Scheffler had said he would withdraw from the Masters if his wife went into labor with their first child. That didn’t happen, and it appears Scheffler is back home.

We asked whether Scheffler’s appearance would bring bigger crowds to the bar. Perhaps, Graves said, though it seemed to be business as usual on Monday.

Inwood Tavern is at 7717 Inwood Road, Dallas.
