The interviewer, trying to inject a modicum of reason: “But isn’t it necessary to attack intelligently?” Hinault, having none of that: “There is nothing but brute force that can win a race.” The Badger’s cantankerous declarations have been one of the most entertaining elements of the 09 Tour. (We dare to imagine a Hinault / LeMond Blunt-Speaking-Bordering-On-Crazy-Old-Campaigner double billing. Sweatbands mandatory.)

That 1982 headband was not Hinault’s finest hour. Still, who would dare say it to his face?
