Émile Masson

Cycling Disciplines

Émile Masson was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer, born in Morialmé on 16 October 1888 and died in Bierset on 25 October 1973. He is recorded here for his 1922 Tour de France, in which he won two stages of cycling's best-known stage race. His son, Émile Masson Jr., also became a successful cyclist, so the two riders are kept as separate entries under near-identical names; this entry is the father, sometimes written as Émile Masson senior. The source article is a short stub giving his birthplace, place of death, nationality, stage wins and family link, and this description keeps to those points. Fuller results and race by race detail are not stated there and are not claimed here.
