Hnault has a few National titles in the IP as a young man (74-76). I think he also contested a world championship on the track (74) as well but failed. He was also keen to turn pro in 75, so he couldn't be forced into the 76 olympic team. His aim was bigger than the olympics.
Pantani, Zulle, Ullrich, Rumsas, Vinokourov, Basso, Hamilton, Landis, Valverde, Virenque, Mayo, Rasmussen, Mancebo...

FES been around long before Barcelona. Part of the marginal gains thing of the DDR.
By the way, Zabel rode a FES "Colnago" at times. And Ulrich a FES "Giant".
And half the peloton rode Cyfac "other brands" during the 90's.
My take is that Trek, specialized, giant probably bought an UKSI...

Amazon uk brought me mine, and they seem to have it still. There is an itunes version if your into reading on an ipad. Haven't started reading mine yet, went for pedalare pedalare by Foot during the giro - I am now entering the dark ages of italian cycling.
