Lucien Aimar was a domestique of 5-time Tour winner Jacques Anquetil. Aimar joined a breakaway in the middle of the tour and ended up on the leader board. Anquetil then began helping Aimar win the Tour, to make sure and deny it to his then-enemy Raymond Poulidor. After stage 18 Aimar's victory was certain barring disaster. Anquetil rode hard that day to ensure it and then quit the race. The points classification was won by Willy Planckaert, and the mountains classification by Julio Jiménez. The team classification was won by the Kas team. During the Tour, word spread that there was going to be a dope test, and all the riders but Raymond Poulidor, the darling of French cycling fans, left their hotels. The other riders staged a strike in protest during stage 9 dismounting and walking their bicycles. Eventually they started riding again, but only after arguing with officials. ==Participants== The 1966 Tour started with 130 cyclists, divided into 13 teams of 10 cyclists:〔 Felice Gimondi, winner of the 1965 Tour de France, did not defend his title. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1966 Tour de France」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
