Georges Speicher, born on 8 June 1907 and died on 24 January 1978, was a French cyclist who won the 1933 Tour de France, taking three stage wins along the way, and the 1933 World Cycling Championship. After his Tour victory he was initially not selected for the 1933 UCI Road World Championships; only when a French cyclist who had been selected dropped out was Speicher brought in as a replacement at the last notice, and he went on to win the race. He was the first cyclist to win the Tour de France and the World Championship in the same year.
