Gustave Danneels

Cycling Disciplines

Gustave Danneels was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer, born on 6 September 1913 and died on 13 April 1976. He is known for the bronze medals he took at the UCI Road World Championships in 1934 and 1935 and for his victories in the Paris-Tours classic. When he won the 1936 edition of Paris-Tours he was awarded the Ruban Jaune, the prize for recording the fastest time in a professional race. The English Wikipedia article is brief, with its results given in tables rather than prose, so this entry states only the medals, the Paris-Tours wins and the Ruban Jaune that the article describes, and leaves a fuller season by season record to the Cycling Archives page it links.
