Regardless of which ever way the Floyd Landis case turns out, it still
makes Lance the ONLY person ever to win the Tour de France with Shimano!

(There - that ought to touch off a nice flame war!)

Depends on how far back you want to look.

Derailleur-equipped cycles, for instance, are a recent innovation in the
Tour; and Tullio only started making stuff in the latter half of the 20th
century.

1933, isn't the 'later half of the 20th Century'...Ders started in the
early 50s altho they existed before that, but were considered 'sissy'
for the major tours, good for cyclotourists only.

It is proof that Lance Armstrong was cheating with drugs. How else
could he have won riding a bike with Shimano components that lack the
Old World Heritage and Mystique [TM] that are a feature of every
Campagnolo part?

Dear Hank,

Yes, the TdF winners used Huret derailleurs in 1954, 1954, and 1955.

Other winners used Super Champion and Vittoria Margherita.

My 2nd edition of Berto's "Dancing Chain" lists TdF winners by year
with bicycle and derailleur, scattered over many pages by decades.

"Henri Desgrange tried to limit the influence of the manufacturers of
bicycles and components. For that reason, in this decade [1930-1939]
of national teams, all riders were supplied with standard bicycles,
but they could use their own saddle and handlebars."

It's worth noting that many multi-Tour winners used different bicycles
and derailleurs. Neither the bicycle nor the shifter appears to matter
as much as the marketing department would like.

See huge table below.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel
