yeah Thierry Marie used the butt cone when he won the TdF prologue in 1986...here it is
One of the reasons why I recall who was riding the butt cone was in the 1986 TdF the first ever North American to wear the yellow jersey took it off the back of Thierry Marie the next day. Canadian Alex Stieda took the yellow jersey the next morning on a breakaway for 7-11 taking the yellow before Lemond would get it. But day 2 was a 2 stage split stage day so Steida loses the yellow later that afternoon. But for half a day, we had a Canadian in the yellow jersey! Alex Steida was also the first pro cyclist to ride a softride in racing to my best knowledge, so there is a link to this thread with the crazy Ceepo beam bike.
