Raymond Poulidor

Road cycling, France. Poulidor finished on the Tour de France podium eight times without ever wearing the yellow jersey, often behind Jacques Anquetil. Their shoulder-to-shoulder climb of the Puy de Dôme in 1964, which left Anquetil leading the Tour by just 14 seconds and winning it by 55, is one of the sport's best-known duels, and Poulidor's popularity as the "eternal second" outlasted many of the winners.
