Sorry, I meant a five-time TdFrance winner, but you have a good point.
What were the grand tours like the year after Coppi retired?

Bobet won the next three Tours in a row - third man to take three Tours,
first to do them in consecutive years. Maes and Thys were the others.


In Italy, Magni won another one but no other repeat winners for 9 years and
no three-peaters until Merckx.
