André Leducq, born in Saint-Ouen on 27 February 1904 and died on 18 June 1980, was a French cyclist who won the 1930 and 1932 Tours de France. He was world champion in 1924 as an amateur, the same year he won a gold medal in the team road race at the 1924 Summer Olympics, and he turned professional in 1927. The next year he won Paris-Roubaix and finished second in the Tour de France, becoming popular for his humour, and he later added the 1931 Paris-Tours. Across nine rides in the Tour he won 25 stages, the fourth-highest total in the race's history behind Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Mark Cavendish. After his retirement he founded a professional cycling team that raced in the 1950s.
