Description: In the 1971 Tour de France, Luis Ocaña had a 7-minute lead in the GC over Eddy Merckx. The Spaniard crashed while chasing the Cannibal on a rainy descent of the Col de Menté and was forced to abandon. Merckx refused to wear yellow the following day, out of respect for Ocaña. He would go on to make a full recovery and win the Tour in 1973.
