7. Swiss conqueror sews up ancient race conceived by Vienne and Perez
8. The Gypsy.
9. Tyrolean town hosts future worlds
10. First name of Belgian close to a stage win in the TdF until his tyre rolled off on a corner. Loose tape? R.I.P
11. Tour of the mostly flat lands
12. Merckx, Hinault, Indurain...
