François Beaugendre

Cycling Disciplines

François Beaugendre (1880 to 1936) was an early twentieth century French road racing cyclist. He took part in the 1903 Tour de France, the first edition of the race, and finished ninth overall. A year later he rode the first four stages of the 1904 Tour, finishing 7th, 11th, 3rd and 3rd, and did not start the fifth stage. Months after that Tour many cyclists were disqualified, and his results were upgraded to 3rd, 6th, 2nd and 1st, so that he was declared the winner of the fourth stage and the leader at the moment he left the race. He rode the Tour a few more times, with a fifth place in 1907 as his best result. His brothers Joseph and Omer were cyclists too: Joseph rode the 1909 Tour de France, and Omer rode the 1910 Tour after winning the 1908 Paris-Tours race.
