Jacques Anquetil - Other Races

Other Races

Anquetil was not as successful in the classic single-day races but towards the end of his career he won:

  • Gent–Wevelgem (1964)
  • Liège–Bastogne–Liège (1966)

Anquetil finished in the top 10 in the world championship on six occasions, but second place in 1966 was the nearest he came to the rainbow jersey.

Famous quotes containing the word races:

    The so called white races are really pinko-grey.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Now different races and nationalities cherish different ideals of society that stink in each other’s nostrils with an offensiveness beyond the power of any but the most monstrous private deed.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)
