Hi everybody,
I just wanted to add a precision about this topic, when at the moment I'm working on a project about it.
In fact, Jean Stablinski became World Road Race Champion in 1962 in Salň, Italia on his green Helyett (Helyett Spéciale). A few seconds before his Irish teammate Seamus Elliott, also on Helyett.
I wrote the book about the story of Helyett. I will enjoy to show you
