Georges Vandenberghe was a professional Belgian cyclist, born in Oostrozebeke on 28 December 1941 and died in Bruges on 23 September 1983. He rode seven editions of the Tour de France between 1965 and 1971. His best Tour was the 1968 edition, in which he wore the yellow jersey of the race leader for 11 days and finished 18th in the overall classification. Holding the yellow jersey for more than a week is a rare distinction in the Tour, since the lead is contested day after day over three weeks of racing. His results are listed in the Cycling Archives database and in the official Tour de France results archive.
