Thanks Francis for the quick reply.

If Leitmotiv is correct it makes as across answer wrong.
90a. Tour de France yellow jersey - ... jaune (I had Matelot) but Maybe it is Maitlot??

Thanks

@Francis,
Thanks again Francis - I knew a Frenchman would know about the Tour de France.

Pity our Dictionaries aren't up to scratch.

Thanks again
