Here is a souvenir cover of the February 28, 1955 French occupation of the Saarland stamp (Michel #357) shown on page 11 of this thread. The stamp publicizes the World Championship in Cross Country Cycling held in Saarbruecken. The special cancellation on this cover reads 06.3.55, perhaps meaning that it was applied on the day of the race...or that it is a forgery  |

Considered to be one of the best races in history. American Greg Lemond against Laurent Fignon Greg Lemond won, the two remained separated by seconds.......... One of my fav DVD's. Tour down under start tomorrow.... Go Aussie Caleb Ewan. the pocket rocket. |

This 2002 stamp honors Luxembourgian racing cyclist Francois Faber (1887-1915). From Wikipedia, "He was born in France. He was the first foreigner to win the Tour de France in 1909, and his record of winning 5 consecutive stages still stands. He died in World War I while fighting for France."  |
