Regis Ovion (1973)
Cycling at perhaps what could be considered a conservative pace, Bernard Thevenet (...on the left, wearing the Maillot Tricolore of the reigning French National Champion) is seen here during stage 19 (Bourges - Versailles) of the 1973 Tour de France while riding abreast of fellow Peugeot-BP-Michelin teammate Regis Ovion who almost appears to be congratulating Thevenet on his critical and decisive third place stage performance of the previous day. The two riders would finish the general classification of that year’s Tour in second and tenth places respectively.
