In 1965, Anquetil won the eight-day Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré in the French Alps, finishing in mid-afternoon. After post-race interviews, a meal of steak tartare and two beers, he flew to Bordeaux in the early evening where at 2am the next morning he lined up at the start of the gruelling, single-day, 567km (352 mile) Bordeaux-Paris race - which he also won (and shown in the artwork). He had achieved the remarkable double after an incredibly tough battle and the French public seemed to appreciate this feat more than any of his other big wins.
