 three Tours de France with three different teams. Hinault and LeMond would soon win successive Tours with the La Vie Claire team after leaving Renault-Elf-Gitane, while both Fignon and Guimard would never win another Tour de France, as a cyclist and directeur sportif respectively, after 1984 (the closest that the two came to winning the Tour de France again was in 1989, when Lemond defeated their enduring alliance by a mere 8 seconds in the time-trial that was held on the final day of that Tour, which is still the closest ever winning margin in over 100 editions of the Tour and which closely followed Fignon's win that year in the Giro d'Italia, or Tour of Italy). Hinault had already formed a strong collective of primarily French riders almost immediately after his breakaway from Renault-Elf and Guimard, and before he had even secured the much-needed financial backing for his team from someone like <mask>. From 1986-94, he was the president of the Olympique de Marseille football club, which became Champion of France five times in a row (from 1989 to 1993) and won the 1992–93 UEFA Champions League. In 1985, he bought the sailing ship "Club Mediterrannee" from the wife of disappeared French navigator Alain Colas. The boat was transported to Marseille, where <mask> had his football team, and restored for two years. It was renamed "Phocea" and was at that time the longest sailing ship in the world ().<mask> took command of it with a new crew in 1988 and broke the world record for crossing the Atlantic ocean. In 2021, <mask> and his wife were severely beaten in a home invasion robbery. Legal difficulties
In 1993, the same year that Olympique de Marseille won the Champions League, he was accused of

His club was stripped of its French league championship, though not of the Champions League title, and later suffered a forced relegation to the second division because of this match-fixing suspicion. In 1994, <mask> was under criminal investigation for complicity of corruption and witness tampering. After a high-profile case against public prosecutor Éric de Montgolfier, he was sentenced in 1995 by the Court of Appeals of Douai to two years in prison, including 8 months non-suspended and three years of deprivation of his civic rights. From 1993 to 2008 there was a long legal battle between Tapie and the Crédit Lyonnais bank (state-owned bank).Crédit Lyonnais had defrauded <mask> in 1993 and 1994 when it sold Adidas on his behalf to Robert Louis-Dreyfus, apparently by arranging a larger sale with Dreyfus without <mask>'s knowledge. A 600-million-franc (90-million-Euro) sum was granted in 1995 by the French justice system, and after appeal from Credit Lyonnais the Appeal Court increased the sanction to 150 million Euros in 2005. This ruling was partially dismissed in Cassation. In 2008 a special judicial panel ruled that <mask> should receive compensation of €404 million from the French Ministry of Finance, headed by Christine Lagarde. She decided not to challenge the ruling. On 3 December 2015, a French court ruled that <mask> should return this compensation with interest. A few days later, the Court of Justice of the Republic ordered that Lagarde should stand trial for negligence.On 19 December 2016, Lagarde was

 convicted of negligence; however, the conviction was not deemed a criminal record and Lagarde was not sentenced to any punishment. In 2012, the new French government announced they would challenge in courts the Arbitrage sentence ruled in favor of <mask> under the Sarkozy government. After four years of new trials, the Arbitrage was canceled on the basis of a "suspected fraud" in the nomination and impartiality of one of the three judges who ruled in favor of <mask>. In 2019, a criminal case was conducted against <mask> and the suspected judge concluded there was no fraud and the arbitrage was fully legal. The French authorities, supervised by the French government, appealed this decision. After 26 years of proceedings, this legal battle was still ongoing at the time of <mask>'s death in 2021. Acquisitions
<mask> made his fortune in the late 1970s and 1980s by acquiring bankrupt companies.The first companies that he purchased were paper companies Duverger and Diguet-Denis. Later came larger companies such as Leclanché Wonder – a large producer of batteries. He later sold this company to Ucar. In 1990, <mask> purchased Adidas for nearly 1.6 billion francs. He took up a loan syndicated with a banking pool with a majority of foreign banks (German and Japanese banks for the main part), and in minority from French backers, in particular with the SdBO, the subsidiary of Crédit Lyonnais group hidden for several years. The AGF, the UAP and Crédit Lyonnais entered the capital of the sporting brand. Adidas was nearly bankrupt when <mask> took it over.His five year plan saved the company, the major change being the marketing with the recruiting of Bob Strasser (former Chief of Design from Nike), and the

 change of image of the brand (the logo for example was changed, from the lotus flower to the more modern (and still current logo) three stripes triangle). Manufacturing was largely moved to Asia, and the distribution network was completely redesigned. In 1995, Adidas was listed on the Stock Exchange for a valuation of 11 billion francs, more than six times the price <mask> paid to acquire it. He subsequently had a number of legal difficulties associated with the sale of the company, conducted by the French state-owned Credit Lyonnais, which was subsequently sanctioned for lack of loyalty (by not informing Tapie he could sell the company at a much higher price than Credit Lyonnais declared) and for breaching the obligation not to buy the company themselves. (Credit Lyonnais used offshore companies to buy Adidas on their behalf but without declaring it.) The Tapie group, through <mask>'s son <mask>, who had created a successful company in the sportsbetting business that he sold in 2008 to Partouche Group (n.1 casino Group in Europe at that time), also tried to dabble in the online poker world when <mask> tried to acquire Full Tilt Poker. However, they were unable to negotiate a successful deal with the United States Department of Justice, and the deal fell through.Media
In 1995, <mask> turned to artistic endeavors because he was unable to pursue his previous interests: he was personally bankrupt and therefore unable to pursue business ventures, he was declared ineligible to run for political office, and he was banned from football. The first thing he turned to was film. He starred, together with Fabrice Luchini, in Claude Lelouch's 1996 movie Hommes, femmes, mode d'emploi (Men, Women: A User's

 Manual). In 1998, he collaborated on a song written by Doc Gynéco, "C'est beau la vie." In 2000, he made his debut as a theater actor, receiving great reviews from French critics for his re-enactment of Jack Nicholson's role of Randle McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. In 2001, a documentary titled Who is <mask>? was produced by American filmmaker Marina Zenovich.From 2001 to 2005, <mask> acted in theater plays and appeared in the French TV series Valence as a police chief. In 2018, <mask> was diagnosed with double cancer (stomach and esophagus). He was later treated in France and in Belgium, partially with experimental treatments. Death
In the morning of 3 October 2021 his family announced that he had died at the age of 78. <mask> had been suffering from stomach cancer for several years. President Emmanuel Macron expressed his condolences to <mask>'s family in a statement, saying he and his wife "have been touched by the news of the death of <mask>, whose ambition, energy and enthusiasm were a source of inspiration for generations of French people". OM said in a statement, "Olympique de Marseille learned with deep sadness of the passing of <mask>.He will leave a great void in the hearts of the Marseillais and will forever remain in the legend of the club".

<mask> ( – 2 September 1397; also known by many names) was an Italian composer, organist, singer, poet and instrument maker who was a central figure of the Trecento style in late Medieval music. One of the most revered composers of the second half of the 14th-century, he was by far the most famous composer in Italy. <mask>'s name is recorded in many variants throughout medieval manuscripts and documents, including, <mask>, <mask>, <mask>, Franciscus Landino, Magister Franciscus de Florentia, Magister Franciscus Coecus Horghanista de Florentia, <mask>hani and Cechus de Florentia. Later generations often called him <mask> or Landino. Context and sources
Details of <mask>'s life are sketchy and few facts can be established with certainty, but the general outline has begun to take shape as more research has been done, especially into Florentine records. Most of the original biographical data on him comes from a 1385 book on famous Florentine citizens by chronicler Filippo Villani, who was also born approximately 1325. Modern scholars no longer accept the idea that <mask> was a member of the <mask> family and prefer to use the names '<mask>nze' (<mask> of Firenze), '<mask>' or '<mask>orghani' (<mask> of the organs) and '<mask>ieco' or 'Franciscus cecus'  (<mask> the blind) to refer to the composer.The reason is that the surname '<mask>' or 'Landino' has not been linked to the composer in any sources of the 14th century nor in secondary references in the 15th century. The evidence linking <mask> to the <mask> family via his presumed father, who was identified by

 Filippo Villani as a painter who lived a simple life is no longer accepted by art historians. It can therefore also no longer be maintained that the painter Jacopo del Casentino (formerly also referred to as 'Jacopo Landino') was his father or that Cristoforo Landino was his great-nephew. Life and career

<mask> was most likely born in Florence, though Cristoforo Landino gave his birthplace as Fiesole. Blind from childhood (an effect of contracting smallpox), <mask> became devoted to music early in life, and mastered many instruments, including the lute, as well as the art of singing, writing poetry, and composition. Villani, in his chronicle, also stated that <mask> was an inventor of instruments, including a stringed instrument called the 'syrena syrenarum', that combined features of the lute and psaltery, and it is believed to be the ancestor of the bandura. Despite his young age, <mask> was already active in the early 1350s and it is likely that he was very close to  Petrarch.According to Villani, <mask> was given a crown of laurel by the King of Cyprus, who was in Venice for several periods during the 1360s. <mask> probably spent some time in northern Italy prior to 1370. Evidence in some of his music also points to this: a motet by a certain "Franciscus" is dedicated to Andrea Contarini, who was Doge of Venice from 1368 to 1382; and in addition, his works are well represented in northern Italian sources. He was employed as organist at the Florentine monastery of Santa Trinità in 1361, and at the church of San Lorenzo from 1365 onward. He was heavily

 involved in the political and religious controversies of his day, according to Villani, but he seems to have remained in the good graces of the Florentine authorities. <mask> knew many of the other Italian composers of the Trecento, including Lorenzo da Firenze, with whom he was associated at Santa Trinità, as well as Andreas da Florentia, whom he knew in the 1370s. Around or shortly after 1375, Andreas hired him as a consultant to help build the organ at the Servite house in Florence.Among the surviving records are the receipts for the wine that the two consumed during the three days it had taken to tune the instrument. <mask> also helped build the new organ at SS Annunziata in 1379, and in 1387 he was involved in yet another organ-building project, this time at Florence Cathedral. He is buried in the church of San Lorenzo in Florence. His tombstone, lost until the 19th century and now again displayed in the church, contains a depiction of him with a portative organ. Music

<mask> was the foremost exponent of the Italian Trecento style, sometimes also called the "Italian ars nova". His output was almost exclusively secular. While there are records that he composed sacred music, none of it has survived.What have survived are eighty-nine ballate for two voices, forty-two ballate for three voices, and another nine which exist in both two and three-voice versions. In addition to the ballate, a smaller number of madrigals have survived. <mask> is assumed to have written his own texts for many of his works. His output, preserved most completely in the Squarcialupi

 Codex, represents almost a quarter of all surviving 14th-century Italian music. Legacy and influence
Numerous contemporary writers attest to his fame, not only as a composer, but as a singer, poet, organist, philosopher, and passionately devoted citizen of Florence, notably Giovanni da Prato, in his book Paradiso degli Alberti. This book, written in 1389 contains short stories, one of which supposedly was related by <mask> himself. His reputation for moving an audience with his music was so powerful that writers noted "the sweetness of his melodies was such that hearts burst from their bosoms."<mask> is the eponym of the Landini cadence (or Landino sixth), a cadential formula whereby the sixth degree of the scale (the submediant) is inserted between the leading note and its resolution on the tonic. However this cadence neither originated with him, nor is unique to his music; it can be found in much polyphonic music of the period, and well into the 15th century (for example in the songs of Gilles Binchois). Gherardello da Firenze is the earliest composer to use the cadence whose works have survived. Yet <mask> used the formula consistently throughout his music, so the eponym—which dates from after the medieval era—is appropriate. References

Rough and Ready was released in USA eight months later and a sixteen date promotional tour followed. The album eventually reached No. 46 on the US album charts. Of Tench Rolling stone magazine stated: "...then comes Situation a long, well-played evocation of that misnamed hybrid jazz-rock and a neat rocker called Short Business.Vocalist <mask> does a valiant job on both considering the considerable handicap of being mixed down under the guitar." In January 1972 The Jeff Beck Group travelled to United States to join Beck at TMI studios in Memphis, Tennessee, where they recorded the album Jeff Beck Group (1972) with Steve Cropper as producer. The promotional tour which followed included an appearance on the BBC In Concert series, which was recorded on 29 June 1972 at the Paris Theatre, London.

In an interview with Johnny Rogan <mask> stated: "I quite liked the songs "Natalia" and "Wavelength" because I had a lot to do with them. They came together quickly. He's a very quick worker and once it's there he doesn't see why you can't record it.He let us get on with it, really. It was a good band". He was credited with production assistance, guitar and backing vocals on this album, which became Morrison's best selling album at that time. He also contributed lead guitar and vocals to the promotional Wavelength tour which followed.

In his review for Allmusic, Thom Jurek hints at <mask>'s influence on the album and stated that "the Peter Barden's and <mask>ch song Good Times, Bad Woman with its slippery guitars and keyboards feels more like Peter Green's mid-period work and the killer read of Boz Scagg's Some Change, is more driven and funky than the original.Then there's the reggae-blues of the title track, which swings out of a jazzy backbeat into a rootsier inner circle type groove". During 1995 he contributed guitar and vocals to Rattlesnake Guitar a tribute to Peter Green (1995).

<mask> is a respected musician and for Allmusic Mark Deming states in his biography of him, that he is "a talented singer and guitarist who has worked with some of the biggest and best-respected names in British rock". In their book Chronology of Jeff Beck's Career 1965–1980, Chris Hjort and Doug Hinman mention that "<mask> is a proficient guitar player" and in her review of The Linda Lewis album Fathoms Deep, Amy Hanson described him as a "R&B master". When writing about <mask> joining the Jeff Beck Group the author Martin Power makes reference to him stating that "he was a first class singer". On the original release of The Jeff Beck Group's album Rough and Ready, Stephen Davis of Rolling Stone magazine wrote "Then comes [the track] Situation and a neat rocker called Short Business. Vocalist <mask> does a valiant job on both, considering the considerable handicap of being mixed down under the guitar. Tench has a fine, gravel voice and sometimes sounds like Felix Cavaliere. Trying to fill [Rod] Stewart's high heels is no mean feat and it's to Tench's credit that he carries himself well".A Beat publication which featured an article about the band Hummingbird's album We can't go on meeting like this, noted that <mask>'s voice had "surprising power and range used to the full" and of the band in which <mask> also played lead guitar, the music magazine Gramophone commented that "the members of Hummingbird are the cream of British session musicians, more acclimatised than most to playing rock at all intellectual

His concise solo at mid-song is uplifting, bending notes every which way while displaying a special adeptness at speed noodling. It is truly pleasurable" and on the blog site "The Immortal Jukebox" Thom Hickey reflected on a live performance from the same period, noting that "<mask> played gorgeous spiky guitar fills". The Canadian rock band Danko Jones mention his vocals in their song "Sugar High" with the lyric "Got the radio on to Bob Tench singing Sugar Cane, from their album This is Danko Jones (2009). Fran Leslie wrote an editorial feature about <mask> for the September 2009 edition of the Blues in Britain magazine.In her introduction she wrote "Our cover artist <mask> is a musician who has played and recorded with so many people that his biography reads like a Who's Who of British Blues". She also stated that he was a noted singer and formidable guitarist. In an interview with Tom Jennings from Backstage Axxess in 2012, Joe Bonamassa mentioned <mask> as a vocal influence. Later, in a 2018 interview with Planet Rock magazine Bonamassa mentioned <mask>'s vocal skills and stated that he "had one of the best voices of the 1970s".

Manuel Alfonso <mask> Oropeza was born in Gómez Palacio, Durango, on November 3, 1989. He is the son of <mask> Salas, who wrestles as Brillante. He became part of the third generation of the <mask> family to compete in lucha libre.His grandfather, <mask>, wrestled under the name "<mask>", while his uncles wrestle or wrestled under the names Diamante/Moro III (<mask>), Zafiro/Pentagoncito (real name unrevealed), Kevin (Juan Andrade), Espanto Jr./Pentagón (Jesús Andrade), and Espiritu Magico (Juan Andrade), and one of his cousins works as the current Espanto Jr. (real name unrevealed). Due to the secretive nature of lucha libre, where the real names of masked wrestlers are often not revealed, it is possible that some more of <mask>'s siblings or cousins are also professional wrestlers.

 Working for his family's wrestling promotion Andrade used the name "Brillante Jr." from 2003 through early 2007. During that period of time, he got involved in a storyline rivalry with his uncle who wrestled as "Zafio", leading to his first ever Lucha de Apuestas, or bet match.By defeating Zafiro he won his first headline match, forcing Zafiro to have all his hair shaved off after the match per lucha libre traditions. He later won another Lucha de Apuestas match, forcing the masked wrestler Camorra to unmask in the middle of the ring and reveal his real name. During this time period <mask> also competed as the enmascarado (masked) characters "Guerrero Azteca" ("Aztec Warrior") and "Rey Azteca" ("Aztec King") on occasion. Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre

Técnico (2007–2014)

In 2007 he signed with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ("World Wrestling Council"; CMLL), and began training under CMLL head trainer El Satánico. He made his CMLL in-ring debut on February 27, working as "Brillante" just like his father had. In June CMLL changed his name, rechristening him La Sombra ("The Shadow"). CMLL previously had other people work under the name "La Sombra" in the 1980s and 1990s; CMLL did not promote the most recent La Sombra as having any relation to the previous incarnations at all, although the relationship was later subtly acknowledged when La Sombra began wrestling in a black and silver version of his father's mask.La Sombra quickly moved up the ranks of CMLL in the months after his debut. The first sign of CMLL putting their faith in La Sombra came when the promoters him teamed up with CMLL's main good guy (known

La Sombra and Místico defeated Heavy Metal and Super Nova in the first round, Dr. Wagner Jr. and Mascara Purpura in the semi-final and the team of Último Guerrero and Euforia in the finals to win the 2007 Tornero Gran Alternativa. The following month, La Sombra teamed up with El Sagrado and Volador Jr. to defeat Mr. Águila, Damián 666, and Halloween, collectively known as Los Perros del Mal ("The Bad Dogs"), to win the Mexican National Trios Championship. On November 27, 2007, La Sombra added the NWA World Welterweight Championship to his collection when he defeated Hajime Ohara to win the title; his victory made him the youngest wrestler to hold the championship, winning it at the age of 18. Throughout 2008 La Sombra was busy defending both championships on several occasions. On January 16, 2009, La Sombra became a triple champion as he teamed up with Volador Jr. to defeat Averno and Mephisto, winning the CMLL World Tag Team Championship.La Sombra's time as a triple champion lasted just over two weeks, until February 3, when Sangre Azteca, Black Warrior, and Dragón Rojo Jr., collectively known as Poder Mexica ("Mexican Power") defeated La Sombra, Volador, and Sagrado to win the Mexican National Trios Championship. On May 27, 2009, La Sombra lost the NWA World Welterweight Championship to Mephisto. In early 2010 La Sombra began a storyline feud with <mask>.

Once again Puma King tried to help his uncle, but this time the referee disqualified <mask> for the transgression. La Sombra and <mask>lino continued to feud, both interfering in a match between Volador Jr. and Místico.The storyline led to Místico, Volador Jr., La Sombra and <mask> being booked in a four-way Lucha de Apuestas match as the main event of the 2010 2010 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to Two Legends") show. La Sombra was the first man pinned at Dos Leyendas and <mask> was the second, forcing the two to compete with their masks on the line.

In the finals Jyushin Thunder Liger, with help from Okumura at ringside, defeated La Sombra to claim the tournament trophy. The unresolved issues between La Sombra and Volador Jr., as well as the storyline between La Sombra and Jyushin Thunder Liger, led to all three wrestlers being booked in the main event of the CMLL 77th Anniversary Show, a 14-man steel cage Lucha de Apuestas, mask vs. mask match.

The main event of the 80th Anniversary show was not well received by the fans as they had been expecting a match between Atlantis and Último Guerrero, loudly chanting "fraud" during the main event. After the match the fans rallied behind Volador Jr., giving him the crowd support that made CMLL return him to the técnico side. Conversely the fans began to boo and heckle La Sombra, the supposed técnico, leading to a change in how La Sombra was booked and presented by CMLL.La Sombra formed a partnership with Rush and effectively began working as a rudo, though the two refused to acknowledge themselves as such, instead referring to themselves as técnicos diferentes ("a different kind of good guy"). On June 6, La Sombra defeated Volador Jr. with help from Rush and La

CMLL did not offer an official explanation for the change. Over the summer of 2015 Los Ingobernables started to wrestle against tecnico teams instead of generally facing rudo teams as they had been up to that point. By August 2015, Los Ingobernables found themselves facing off against Atlantis on multiple occasions, often with La Sombra going out of his way to attack Atlantis, tearing Atlantis' mask apart during matches to show his disdain for the veteran tecnico.
