Gitane–Frigécrème - 1973

De renners in het rood-wit-blauwe wielershirt op hun blauwe Gitane fietsen waren in 1973 in het profpeleton een nieuwe opvallend goed presterende wielerploeg. Joop Zoetemelk tekende bij de nieuwe Franse ploeg Gitane-Frigecreme.  Joop was, bekend om zijn strategisch inzicht en klimcapaciteiten, de absolute kopman van Gitane-Frigecreme. 


De sponsor Gitane, opgericht in 1925, groeide uit van een kleine Franse fietsassembler tot een gerenommeerd merk dat topwielrenners sponsorde.  Vanaf de jaren '50 boekte Gitane successen met renners als Jean Stablinski en later Jacques Anquetil, die vier van zijn vijf Tour de France-overwinningen op een Gitane behaalde. De overname door Renault in de jaren '70 leidde tot de dominante ploeg Renault-Gitane, met legendes als Bernard Hinault, Laurent Fignon en Greg Lemond die grote overwinningen behaalden. Met renners als Louison Bobet en Jacques Anquetil boekte Gitane successen in de Tour de France. Na wat magere jaren moest de komst van Zoetemelk de gloriejaren nieuw leven inblazen. Joop won in 1973 de proloog van de Tour de France en de zesde en dertiende etappe.

Verder de tweede plaats in het eindklassement van Parijs-Nice, achter Raymond Poulidor. De derde plaats in het eindklassement van de Ronde van Romandië, achter Wilfried David en Luis Ocaña en De achtste plaats in het eindklassement van de Ronde van Spanje.

Hoewel het grote succes uitbleef, toonde Zoetemelk in 1973 zijn zijn klasse met deze ereplaatsen. In zijn tijd bij Gitane-Frigecreme legde Joop de basis voor zijn latere triomfen, waaronder zijn overwinning in de Tour de France van 1980.

In 1973 was ijsfabrikant Frigecreme de verfrissende subsponsor. De renners van de ploeg waren daarom regelmatig te zien met een verfrissend ijsje na een zware etappe.

Better quality than the no-name brands
Size: 3 Pack, Color: Optic Yellow
I’ve played with quite a few different pickleballs over the past couple of years, including several cheaper “no-name” brands, and these Franklin X-40 balls consistently perform better for me. The biggest difference is durability. These seem to hold up much better to hard hits and regular outdoor play without cracking as quickly as many lower-cost balls I’ve tried. Even after multiple games, they maintain their shape and playability better than most bargain options. I also really like the bright optic yellow color. They’re easy to track during fast rallies and remain very visible in different lighting conditions, which makes a noticeable difference during competitive games. Performance-wise, they have a very consistent feel and bounce. There’s a reason these are used so widely in organized play and tournaments—they simply play reliably from game to game. While they may cost a little more than generic brands, I’ve actually found them to be a better value over time because they last longer and don’t need replacing nearly as often. Overall, these are my go-to outdoor pickleballs now. Durable, highly visible, and consistent on the court. Definitely worth it if you play regularly.

The Indispensable Standard for Outdoor Play
Size: 12 Pack, Color: Optic Yellow
As someone who genuinely lives on the pickleball court, having reliable equipment isn't a preference—it’s a necessity. The Franklin Sports X-40 Outdoor Pickleballs are the gold standard for a reason. From the moment you serve, the flight is true, offering predictable speed and a consistent, high-bounce off the court face, making every rally feel authentic and competitive. The 40 precision-drilled holes ensure that they cut through the wind effectively, minimizing drift on those breezy days that are inevitable in outdoor play. I’ve hit these with powerful serves and vicious third-shot drops, and they maintain their shape and integrity beautifully, far outlasting many other brands I’ve tried. However, let’s be honest about the one thing every dedicated player knows: you can never, ever have enough pickleballs. Even with the durability of the X-40, balls get lost in the bushes, occasionally crack under extreme force, or are simply needed for high-volume drilling. If you’re serious about the game, stocking up on these is essential—not just because they're great, but because having a full inventory is the only way to ensure the game never stops. If you’re looking for a ball that delivers official, tournament-level performance and holds up play after play, the X-40 is the one to get.

Bright, Smooth, and Worth the Price
Size: 12 Pack, Color: Optic Yellow
These pickleball balls are excellent quality and absolutely worth the price. I was hesitant at first because they cost a little more than other options for the same quantity, but the difference is obvious once you use them. They glide smoothly, feel like high‑end material, and the bright color is a huge plus especially in low lit areas where visibility can be an issue. They’re easy to spot on the court and stand out even when multiple games are going on. The color is noticeably brighter than most pickleballs I’ve seen, which makes them easy to identify and retrieve. The overall quality and size really speaks for itself. I highly recommend them.

Great Outdoor Pickleballs for Practice and Games
Size: 6 Pack, Color: Multi
These pickleballs have been great overall for outdoor play. The colors are bright and easy to see on the court, which is especially helpful during evening games or when playing on darker surfaces. They have a consistent bounce and feel durable compared to some cheaper pickleballs I’ve tried before. I also like that they fly pretty true and don’t wobble too much during rallies. They work well for both casual games and more competitive practice sessions. The balls feel solid off the paddle and provide a good balance of speed and control. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because a couple of the balls started showing small cracks after extended outdoor use on rough courts. They still lasted longer than many other brands, but I expected slightly better durability considering the price. They can also feel a bit harder than some softer outdoor balls, especially in colder weather. Overall though, these are reliable pickleballs and definitely a good choice for outdoor play. I’d buy them again for practice and recreational matches.
