Tourmalet race
The text in its present form claims that Marthe Hesse, a female rider with a bicycle made by Paul de Vivie, won a race in 1902 against one Edouard Fischer. What is the source for this claim? It cannot be the PDF given in the reference (this one), which only confirms that Mlle Hesse did indeed climb the Tourmalet without setting foot to the ground - it does not mention winning a race. An article from La Dépêche du Midi (available online) gives a rather different account: There were 43 riders (not just Hesse and Fischer), Fischer reached the top of the Tourmalet four and a half hours before(!) Hesse and eventually won the race, which consisted of climbing the Tourmalet twice. Moreover, according to that article, Hesse was one of four riders not to set foot on the ground, arrived there 1h10 before the last participant, and abandoned after the first passage of the Tourmalet. The differences with the account given on this Wikipedia page are quite remarkable. -- 138.231.81.75 (talk) 18:54, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Two years have passed without reaction to my comment, so I changed the corresponding section to a more verifiable version of the story; see the sources cited above. -- 138.231.81.76 (talk) 00:08, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
