Jacques Esclassan (1972)

A publicity card from 1972 showing Peugeot-BP-Michelin team rider Jacques Esclassan. Unlike cards dating from other years, official 1972 and 1973 editions for Peugeot-BP-Michelin team riders do not necessarily feature a contemporary photograph, but rather, the pictures themselves in at least some instances actually predate their calendar year of issue. However, given the fact that 1972 was Esclassan’s very first year of riding for team Peugeot-BP-Michelin, that would not be the case here.
