168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France legend Raymond Poulidor's family is extremely worried about his health after the 83-year-old wa�🌳�s hospitalised two weeks ago.
Poulidor – nicknamed 'The Eternal Second', due to him having finished second at the Tour three times, and third five times – was at first thought to be suffering from fatigue following another Tour de France, where he works each year as an ambassador for yellow-jersey sponsor Crédit Lyonnais. The Frenchman can be seen at the start village each morning, chatting to friends, fans, journalists and well-wishers, with a hint of irony in that he never actua✅lly wore the yellow jersey himself.
However, Poulidor's wife, Gisèle, has told that her husband's he🌊alth has ཧdeteriorated in recent days.
"The news isn't good," she told♏ the French newspaper on Wednesday from the hospital close to their home in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, near Limoges. "The doctors have told us that they're going to do some more tests, but that we shouldn't expect good news.
"For some days now, he's said almost nothing. He just 🐎responds 'yes' or 'no' when asked if he's eaten or slept. I ဣam, of course, very worried," she said.
🔜Poulidor turned professional in 1960, and rode his entire pro career for the French Mercier team in its various guises, retiring in 1977 having finished third in his final Tour de France – behind Lucien Van Impe and Joop Zoetemelk – in 1976 at the age of 40.
Poulidor's career overlapped those ☂of both French five-time Tour winner Jacques Anquetiꩲl and five-time Tour winner Eddy Merckx. Poulidor finished second to Anquetil at the 1964 Tour, with Poulidor already having won the Vuelta a España that year, when it was held in April/May.
Poulidor finished second again at the following year's Tour, behind Italy's Felice Gimondi, and was runner-up once more in 1975 behind ☂Merckx, who had turned professional in 1965.
His daughter, Corinne, is married to former Dutch pro Adri van der Poel, and their son is current pro rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel – a two-time elite cyclo-cross world ch🦩ampion and winner of this year's Amstel Gold Race.
