On of Barry Hoban riding his Pink Mercian.
Bernard Hainault with his broken nose.
Two memorable images from my era, but I can't find them anywhere.
Spelling helps of course it may not be him. 😕

Yep googled the correct spelling as well!
Looking at that pic Poulidor springs to mind, but it could be anyone.
Get yourself over to Veloriders, you will find somebody over there who will have them
Ah well I have no idea as roadie bikes is not my thing.
Most Barry Hoban photos are in black and white, so how do you tell if he's on a pink bike?
Hinault won the 1985 tour with a broken nose. Google some pics of the end of that tour and he'll have his broken nose then.
Because I remember the old mags, metalic Pink Mercian and Super Record of course.
And I was after the image of Hinault charging out of his saddle with blood streaming down his face.
Doing a little arty farty project.
Like this one a lot at the mo

Can you guess who it is yet?
Oldgit that's King Kelly
Top one, with bloody nose looks like poulidor
I know the Hoban pic you're on about was when he rode for Gan. I got given a hand me down (woolen) replica of the top when I was a junior. Thinking about it it must have been really old, I got given it in the late 80's
How does that guy in the background still have yellow bar tape?
I wondered the same thing.
Er, that's where his hands were for most of the mucky bits?
