'Tour de France 1971'
Published by the northern French regional newspaper La Voix du Nord on 24 June 1971, two days before the race began, this bold red-and-black broadsheet maps the full route and lists the prologue and twenty stages with dates, distances and scheduled times. The 58th Tour covered 3,608 km from Mulhouse to Paris, crossing into Switzerland, West Germany and Belgium; its loosely figure-of-eight course required the race’s first air transfers, from Le Touquet to Paris and Marseille to Albi. The race became one of cycling’s great dramas: Luis Ocaña held a commanding lead before crashing out in a storm on the Col de Menté, allowing Eddy Merckx to secure his third consecutive Tour. Period advertisements and a cyclist vignette give the sheet vivid contemporary character.
