Hey,

No. You are thinking of the Mount Ventoux TT in the 1987 TdF. Jean
Francois Bernard won the stage, and carried the hope of all of France
as the next Bernard Hinault. He had the Bernard name thing, and rode
for Tapie (Toshiba-formerly La Vie Claire).

Thanks,
Ronde Champ

Yup. That is exactly what I was remembering.

Thank you.

don't leave me hanging, so what happened to him? did they find him dead the
next year clutching a crack pipe?
