Frans Brands was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer, born on 31 May 1940 in Berendrecht and died on 9 February 2008 in Blankenberge. He won a stage in the 1963 Tour de France and another in the 1965 Giro d'Italia, two of the three Grand Tours that make up the professional stage racing calendar, and he was the overall winner of the 1967 Tour de Luxembourg. Stage wins in two different Grand Tours within three seasons place him among the Belgian riders who could win on the biggest stages of the sport in the 1960s. His career is recorded in the Cycling Archives database and in the official Tour de France results archive.
