Anquetil is in his<br />
element now, time<br />
trialling into the Parc<br />
des Princes velodrome to<br />
the ovation of the crowd. His<br />
motor pacer and trainer Jo<br />
Goutorbe raises his left arm<br />
to salute his rider, Anquetil’s<br />
wife cries without troubling<br />
her immaculate mascara<br />
or her exquisite eyebrows.<br />
L’exploit est fait. Stab takes the<br />
monstrous bouquet for second<br />
place. Simpson, who dreams of<br />
finishing his career and settling<br />
in Australia, finishes third. The<br />
eternally cool Anquetil has<br />
earned his permis de panache<br />
once and for all.<br />
