 The two clashed again in the 1953 Tour de France.The national team attacked one of their rivals, Jean Robic, on the stage from Albi to Béziers.The battling went on all day and ended with a sprint on the cinder track at Sauclière where Nello Lauredi won and Géminiani came second, denying Bobet the time bonus which would have helped him win the stage.
