In 1984 Paris-Nice:

This photo was taken at the Col d'Eze, where the race was stopped during a protest by local shipyard workers. The Badger shows his fangs and pops the guy hanging on to Sean Kelly's arm, while the second protestor beats feet with arms in surrender.
Sean Kelly (background) went on to win the race that year.
Great photo, but that's not Sean Kelly. Phil Anderson, I think.

What a great photo! Every single person in the photo has a very telling facial expression. The guys in the background look justifiably concerned.

That's why the tour de france organizers hired him to officiate the jersey ceremony after each stage. They can save money on security.

the guy was probably protesting for more vacation time, he only wanted to see the badger race more.
Yes,
That is Phil "punch it" Anderson.

Looking at Phil it's clear he needed someone like Hinault around. Phil looks absolutely feeble. LOL

Bike racer beats up ship yard worker... that probably didn't go down well back at the union hall!

he would inspire the cult game "Hit the shipyard welder with the camo shorts".
This game is now second in popularity behind the "Get hit by the policeman--but get it on video" game amongst the critical mass crowd.
It is NOT Phil Anderson.
It is a young Eric Vanderaerden.

that forearm is one serious turkey drumstick...about to rain down some serious punismont on his fellow frenchy
anyone know if that is anywhere in poster form that can be purchased?
I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
It is NOT Phil Anderson.
It is a young Eric Vanderaerden.
Definately Phil Anderson, right team, right era, right face, and there is simply no mistaking that lower jaw of his.

It looks like he's taking a shot at Billie Jean King....
Definately Phil Anderson, right team, right era, right face, and there is simply no mistaking that lower jaw of his.
And the number ends in a '1' designating him as a team leader.
Vanderaerden would not have been designated the team leader in Paris Nice in 1984.
In other words I agree with you.

That's a serious can of whoop-ass about to be opened! And they didn't even call it that back then. Sad thing is, now days Bernard would be arrested on the spot and charged with assault and the protester would sue him and probably win.

That's what I kept thinking: he wants to put the guy down with one punch, and knows exactly how to do it.

Notice how Hinault knows to hold his target still by the scruff of his shirt to increase the chances of a direct hit.
Hinault has obviously done this before, with much practice I'd say.
The Badger's bite is most definitely worse than his bark.

The person about to get punched is holding on to the arm of the fellow in the
panasonic shirt. Looks like he was giong to get punched by him to.
You all missed that
Nice, The Badger "puttin' on the foil"!

If tapped, one revolution of Bernard Hinault ' cranks could power the country of Australia for 44 minutes.
Bernard Hinault is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
Bernard Hinault counted to infinity - twice.
There is no shim on Bernard Hinault 's cleat. There is only another fist.
When Bernard Hinault climbs a mountain, he isn’t riding up, he’s pushing the Earth down.
Bernard Hinault is so fast, he can ride around the world and slap himself in the back of the head.
Bernard Hinault 's hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush.
There is no such thing as global warming. Bernard Hinault was cold, so he turned the sun up.
Bernard Hinault can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.
Bernard Hinault doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.
Bernard Hinault gave Mona Lisa that smile.
Bernard Hinault can slam a revolving door.

Remember the Soviet Union? They decided to quit after watching Bernard Hinault race his bike on Satellite TV.
Contrary to popular belief, France is not a semi-democracy, it is a Bernardtatorship.
When Bernard Hinault calls 1-900 numbers, he doesn’t get charged. He holds up the phone and money falls out.
Bernard Hinault once ate a whole cake in a feed zone before his team mates could tell him there was a stripper in it.
Some people like to eat frogs' legs. Bernard Hinault likes to eat lizard legs. Hence, snakes.
There are no races, only events where Bernard Hinault has beaten everyone to different shades of black and blue.
When Bernard Hinault was denied an Egg McMuffin at Le McDonald's because it was 10:35, he side kicked the store while circling his bike so hard it became a Wendy's.
Bernard Hinault can't finish a "color by numbers" because his markers are filled with the blood of his victims he leaves strewn along the race course. Unfortunately, all blood is dark red.
A Bernard Hinault -delivered sprint is the preferred method of execution in 10 European countries.
When Bernard Hinault rides through water, Bernard Hinault doesn't get wet. Water gets Bernard Hinault .
Scientists have estimated that the energy given off during the Big Bang is roughly equal to 1BHMTSrT (Bernard Hinault mountain top sprint)
Bernard Hinault’s house has no doors, only walls that he rides through.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could Bernard Hinault ? ...All of it.
Bernard Hinault doesn't actually write books, the words assemble themselves out of fear.
Bernard Hinault CAN believe it's not butter.

Absolutely best post ever, unless Hinault ever does.

I am reminded of that YouTube clip of two cyclist fighting at a race. Silly really they were slap fighting like young girls. Same with Cadel in the Giro hitting some guy that was blocking. At least the Badger looks like he can punch. Perhaps cyclists are getting soft. ;)

Actually, the person getting punched by Hinault is not one of the protesters. It was a fan that yelled out, "I know Laurent Fignon, and you're no Laurent Fignon!"
