The story of the 1971 Grand Prix des Nations time trials - professional and amateur - where Britons Les West, Phil Griffiths and Derek Cottingham took on the Europeans ... and lost.
In the pros West was 14th out of 17 and ten minutes down on Ocana. In the amateurs Cottingham and Griffiths were 14th and 19th out of 20; both at over 6 minutes in arrears to Bischoff. A tough lesson.
