Post World War Rivalries

Henri Desgrange, the Tour de France founder, died in 1940. His successor was Jacque Goddet. The Germans tried to persuade Goddet to hold the race during the war years, but he refused. He considered the first race following the war, in 1947, to be an act of faith given the post-war shortages. Jean Robic of France won and this did much to improve the country’s morale. The government even allowed the Tour to break the food rationing rules.

Italian Rivals Go at it Full Swing

The French win didn’t last long. Two Italian rivals, Gino Bartali, tour winner in 1938, and Fausto Coppi, had lost most of their cycling careers to the war. But their bitter rivalry made the post-war Tours as exciting as ever. Bartali’s 10-year gap between wins is still a Tour record. Louison Bobet had grabbed the yellow jersey early in the race but Bartali showed who deserved to win when he flew through the Alps. Bartali won by 26 minutes in 1948.

Rene Vietto– France’s King of the Hill

After the war, Vietto was one of the few surviving members of the old guard. For awhile, it looked like Vietto might win the 1947 race. Although he didn’t win, he became the Tour’s king of the mountains. It’s been said that wherever there were steep roads and thin air, Vietto was right there.

The winner that year, Robic, had promised his young bride that he would win the Tour de France because he didn’t have a dowry.

In 1948, Bobet’s popularity would increase. The Italian coach, Alfredo Binda, said, “If I had coached Bobet, he would have won.” By this time, Bobet was known as “Louison.”

The Italians arrived at the 1949 Tour prepared to win. They have with them, up and coming star, Fausto Coppi. Coppi and Bartali battle it out. Bartali loses by more than 10 minutes. Coppi won for the second time in 1952 by a stunning 28 minutes.

Switzerland Wins and France has a Golden Age

Switzerland has had only two victories on the Tour– in 1950 and 1951.

In 1950, the Italians look like they’re ready to claim a third title. Bartali, and French rider, Jean Robic, are battling for the lead in the mountains. Aggressive fans cause them to fall. Bartali is constantly harassed and in disgust, he quits the race. To show their support for their team mate, the entire Italian team also quits.

In 1951, Hugo Koblet was clearly the strongest rider. He claimed the yellow jersey after Wim Van Est had a spectacular crash over the cliffs of the Aubisque pass. Van Est survived the crash but was in shock and couldn’t continue. With Bobet, Kubler, and Koblet all out with injuries, the 1952 race was wide open. Coppi won again in 1952 but not until after being challenged by Robic most of the way. Robic was the victim of a flat tire.

Television was introduced to the Tour in 1952.

France succeeds again with the Tour’s first hat trick. Louison Bobet won in 1953, 1954, and 1955. In 1955, Bobet destroyed his competition on Mount Ventoux, and this was the key to his third consecutive win.

France won again in 1956 with rider, Roger Walkowiak. He took the yellow jersey early on, and held onto it. France reveled in its golden age with another record-breaking ride and a new great rivalry.

Jacques Anquetil won five Tours between 1957 1nd 1964. But it was the story of Raymond Poulidor, the “eternal second,” who placed second five times and third three times and he never once wore the jellow jersey. It was during this time that the Tour switched back to sponsored teams. This movement embraced commercial reality but still left plenty of room for theatrics. Enter Jacques Anquetil, winner in 1957 and winner again in 1961, 1962, 1963, and again in 1964. Despite these victories Anquetil was not well loved in France. Poulidor would win a popularity contest in a heartbeat.

In 1959, France looked like it had a winning team with Anquetil, Riviére, Bobet, and Geminiani all on the national team. But instead of working together, the work against each other. The Spaniard, Ferderico Bahamontes , won.

In 1960, it looked like young Riviére was all set to win. He broke the world hour record and at Stage 15 he looked like he’d win. Then, at the Perjuret Pass he crashed into a ravine and never rode a bicycle again. Gastone Nencini, from Italy, won.

The conflict between the international Cycling association UCI and the sports organizer ASO (Amaury Sport Organisation) has gotten worst. The reason for the by now deadlocked situation was the Decision of the ASO to start the Paris-Nice Tour in March 2008 without the Kazakh Astana-Team due to their doping cases in 2007. At the end of the year 2006, the ASO decided together with the organizers RCS-Sports and Unipublic that the squads can only participate in their races with an official invitation. The Astana-Team is already the second team which will be excluded from this event after ASO did not let the Swedish Unibet-Squad participate in the previous year. The world association UCI disagreed with this unfair decision since both teams have the ProTour-Licence of the UCI.

The UCI represents over 170 national and 5 continental federations and also represents around 61,500 cyclists. The UCI was founded with the aim to step in for the interests of cycling and to organize World Cups for the different disciplines of cycling. They organize since 2005 for example the existing Pro-Tour which replaced the Cycle-World-Cup. The tour contains several one-day races and stage races where the Paris-Nice-Tour also belongs to and until last year also the Tour de France.

Both races were cancelled from this year’s UCI Pro-Tour program due to the disagreements with the organizer. The conflict between the UCI and the ASO started already in 2005 when the Tour was held for the first time. Apparently the ASO does not respect the authority of the world association. The race organizer ASO opposed the Pro-Tour together with the organizers RCS-Sports und Unipublic. They did not see themselves as members of this Tour and didn’t want to accomplish the ceremonial hand over of the white jersey to the respective overall leader. The UCI is a non-governmental organization whose actions are not acquisitive. UCI-President McQuaid believes that for ASO this is their only aim.

The victims of this conflict are the cyclists who are being pressured by both sides due to sanctions. The German cyclist Linus Gerdemann finds it quite unacceptable the cyclists are affected by the argument and they should undergo punishments for cycling. If the squads won’t enter the race Paris-Nice, they will be excluded from the following Tour de France. On the other hand; if they do participate in this race they will be punished from the other side since the UCI states that ASO does not follow the international rules. McQuaid declared: the ASO wants to establish an own league. If the teams follow them and start at this race they automatically give them the moral justification to do so and keep going their way. The UCI trusts in the teams that they understand the seriousness of this situation and they will not participate in this race, also respect of possible sanctions.” If the teams will start it might affect the chances for an Olympic attendance.

The cyclists risk in both cases their future and the completion of their dreams. The biggest squads which belong to the Team Federation AIGCP have decided to participate in the race despite the warnings from the UCI. AIGCP-President Boyer wants to meet with McQuaid next week to negotiate about the future.

Several teams have appealed for help to the international Court of Arbitration for Sport. But both the UCI and the ASO declared they were not responsible for this case. Therefore; the court will not decide anything in this case. Will the world cycling split now?
