TDF Once won a prize for..??

[Jan]

An Once rider was presented with a special prize.
Duffield waffled and waffled and got no further than something about
European countries joining the EEC, as if that explained the award !!!
So any ideas??

nice to see Stuart O'Grady get the award for the special centinary
stages.( along with around £20,000 prize money)
