Oh yes. Panache in buckets. YouTube has plenty of early 50s videos where you can watch Robic in action. In the mountains he is always in the action at the front. Always played the crowd and played the camera too. Easy to spot, he’s the tiny guy on a bike that’s too big who is impossibly aggressive.
