Peter Winnen wins stage over L'Alpe d'Huez

Peter Winnen wins on a Koga Miyata in the Tour de France stage over L’Alpe d’Huez.

 

Anecdote – what led up to the 1981 victory:
The winning bike used by Peter Winnen was delivered to L’Alpe d’Huez by Team Capri Sonne only on the morning of the stage. This special, even lighter version of the team bike had in fact only been finalised the day before, and was transported overnight to the Alpe d’Huez stage start personally by Koga assembler Aart Boer. Some of the riders decided on the spot to use this new team bike, and among them was Peter Winnen.
