Hi everyone,
as the wikipedia website says :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campagnolo

Most of TDF winners were equipped in campagnolo.
I`m just wondering what were the other winners equipped with,
especially in 70`s or 80`s.
Simplex, Suntour, Shimano any suggestions ?
I`ve heard that peugeot px-10 was the "winner" in TDF few times. Was
it equipped in french components (Mafac, Stronglight, Simplex) ?

regards
Mariusz

Mavic in 1989 with ADR/Bottrechia and Lemond. Think Suntour has won
once. If you ignore Lance, shimano has never been on a sponsored
winner. (Helmets ON, flac jacket BUCKLED). Interesting but with a van
full of new parts and a legion of wrenches, what these guys ride
really means little. I think what is MORE important is the bike frame,
heart of the bicycle, not the bits strapped onto said frame. Saddles
and pedals more important also, or anywhere else the rider 'touches'
the bike, handlebars..............I think Pinarello has been 'under' a
bunch of winners(Indurain, Ullrich, Riis).

Well, at least Pinarello decals were under a bunch of winners.
Ullrich in
particular was known for hardly using anything made by his actual
sponsors.
While the carbon fiber era has made re-badging particularly difficult,
a lot of
guys are still riding Walser TT bikes according to cyclingnews:

This 2004 example of rebadging is particularly pertinent:

Lance rode Shimano. During the 70 until the late 80s everyone rode
campagnolo. 7-11 rode shimano equipped eddie mercx frames. there may
have been some riders with mavic groups but I don't remember.

If I recall, the claim is "more Campagnolo than any other single brand",
not "more Campagnolo than all others combined"

Campagnolo was the dominant component group for decades, with only
occasional victories by bikes equipped with other components.  Since
1960 it's been very predominantly Campy.  This is mostly due to Campy
being used by almost every pro team and not necessarily because their
stuff was "faster."

Bernard Thevenet won in 1975 or 76 on a mix of Simplex and Stronglight.  
Greg Lemond won his comeback tour in 1989 on Mavic IIRC, I don't
remember what he used in 1986 or 1990.  Certainly from 1991-1998 all the
winners used Campy, then Lance won his seven Tours on Shimano.  No one
ever won the Tour on Sun Tour.

Jacques Anquetil on Huret
Roger Pingeon on Simplex (Eddy was a neo-pro for his Peugeot team that
year, '67, on Simplex)
The Merckx years are Campagnolo of course
Luis Ocana on Campagnolo too
Thevenet on Simplex-Spidel

Alas that we never heard the dulcet voice of Phil Ligget hyperbolize:

"The little man with the big heart, PouPou is dropping down the mountain
like a stone."

"And PouPou negotiates the slippery curves."

"Oh goodness me, PouPou has hit the floor!"

Etc.

Dear Marius,

Berto's "Dancing Chain" lists these Tour de France winners, bikes, and
derailleurs, with additions to 2006:

40 Campagnolo
29 forbidden by tour rules
10 Simplex
7 Shimano
3 Huret
2 Super Champion
1 Vittoria Marghetta
1 Mavic

Riders switched bikes and derailleurs from year to year,
and--gasp!--may have used re-badged equipment.

Derailleurs were forbidden as tools of the devil until 1937.

From 1930 to 1939, everyone rode the same generic bicycle.

The 1946 "Tour" was a 5-day affair, won with Campagnolo, but it's fair
to count that year, since the 1947 "Tour" was rigged (the Italians
Coppi and Bartali were not allowed to enter in order to insure a
French victory--Bartali won the next year with Campagnolo).

It is unlikely that the derailleur or the bicycle are the key factors
in winning the Tour de France.

The detailed list follows.

Cheers,

What do you think is in doubt?  That Landis won the 2006 Tour de
France, or that Campagnolo components were ridden by the 2006 Tour de
France winner?  As I stated in a previous post:

"and 2006 is still in doubt but Landis and Pereiro (2nd) both used
Campagnolo."

Whether Landis holds the victory or whether its awarded to Pereiro
son't change the fact that Campagnolo was used by the 2006 Tour de
France winner.  Unless you are insinuating that both 1st and 2nd will
be disqualified and Shimano using Kloden will be awarded the 2006
victory.

Hi, Russell -

Not insinuating anything.

Firstly, I was responding to Carl's listing of TdF winners (including
Floyd in '06).

Secondly, I was actually wondering if there was a new development in
the case I was unaware of.

Thirdly, I was wondering ("Or is it in your mind?") if Carl was
convinced that Floyd would be vindicated.

I really wasn't addressing you, or the use of Campy by the eventually
selected TdF winner in '06 at all.

Dear Marius,

I added the "01" to tally how many times each derailleur appeared in
the list compiled from Berto's tables.

"Vittoria Marghetta" is probably just a misspelling in the list for
"Vittoria Margherita," which appears elsewhere in "The Dancing Chain":

"Gino Bartali's decisive victory in the 1938 Tour de France stunned
the readers of the French magazine 'Miroir des Sports.' They protested
that his crushing victory resulted from the Italian team's use of
Vittoria derailleurs, while the other teams were required to use Super
Champions."

Here's the whole page, with a diagram, more details, and a picture of
Bartali using his secret weapon on the cover of the whiny French
magazine:

http://i12.tinypic.com/6f4mi2s.jpg

Note the lack of gloves, the goggles for the dusty roads, the spare
tubular carried as a bandolier, and the cut-down front fender on
Bartali's bike.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

I believe that's an abbreviation for the Vittoria Margherita (?) which
is a front 2-change slider with a simple tensioner.

something much like this, if it's not this very one:

Thanks for that and did ya hear Bobke yesterday, in the 'top 5 most

Dear Peter,

"In 1895, Frenchman Jean Loubeyre patented a device for derailing the
chain from one sprocket to antoher. He called his gear-changer the
Polyceler (Multi-speed). It had a rod-operated fork to push the chain
sideways from one fixed sprocket to another. Two spring arms, one
above the chainstay, the other below it, pushed on the chain. The arms
took up slack when the chain was on the smaller sprocket. A bicycle
equipped with a Polyceler was shown in the 1896 catalog of the
Compagnie Generale des Cycles. Velocio described this invention in his
famous review of gear-change systems in Le Cycliste in 1919."

--"The First Derailleurs" in Berto's "The Dancing Chain"

Here's what Berto considers the first derailleur, on a sturdy 40-spoke
cross-4 rear with dainty mini-toeclips:

http://i15.tinypic.com/6h6wdi8.jpg

Poseurs soon began demanding more than two rear sprockets, leading to
what fixed-gear enthusiasts call our modern nightmare.

The long control rod under the seat was typical of many early
derailleur designs, all of which were forbidden on the Tour de France
until 1937.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

They leave out '75 and '77 because the Super LJ's beat them.

After '77, the Campy guys were using Simplex Retro shifters and they
won again.

(Yeah, that may be a troll  :-)

Then why would they show the 1999-2002 period if they are so concerned
about someone besides Campagnolo winning?  Your explanation does not
work given the other facts shown.

Pardon, I forgot this is the USEnet and every response, even a
humorous one, has to "put the anal in analyze" :-)

FWIW - the only other possibility (besides intentional omission) is
that they didn't know. Seems unlikely.
