How could someone get that far off? Best team finish ever, at least in any trade team era. It is like calling the 1969 TDF a close race!

EDIT: I think I have found what he was talking about. 1980. But I still count 4 memebrs of Renault-Gitanne finishing (34,74,76 and 81). But they are not listed in the team results which it seems was based on the top 4 riders for each stage.

130 riders started, 85 finished. Seems Hinault was not happy about Cobbles in the TDF.
