My Take
Jacky Durand is the sort of cyclist I will always cheer for. Winning the 1992 Tour of Flanders off a 217-kilometre breakaway is pure romance, the kind of audacious move modern data-driven racing has nearly bred out of the sport. Three Tour de France stages, two national titles, and ending France's 42-year drought at Paris-Tours in 1998 all flow from the same instinct: attack first, calculate later. He raced to be seen at the front, not merely to place well. No surprise he became a commentator, since few understand the poetry of the breakaway better. I find his fearless, all-or-nothing style irresistible.
