Armand Baeyens

Armand Baeyens was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer, born on 22 June 1928 in Iddergem in East Flanders and died in the same village on 1 July 2013. He is remembered chiefly for the 1951 Tour de France, where he won stage 19, his one stage victory in the race. His other recorded results are small local wins in the Flemish countryside, taking Aaigem in 1951, 1953 and 1954 and Denderhoutem in 1952. His Wikipedia article lists his discipline as road racing and his role as rider. In 2009, in later life, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at a gala in Denderleeuw, a recognition that ties his name to the region where he grew up as a former Tour de France stage winner.
