Guy Lapébie

Guy Lapébie (28 November 1916 to 8 March 2010) was a French cyclist, born in Saint-Geours-de-Maremne in the Landes and later associated with Saint-Gaudens. He is best known for the 1936 Summer Olympics, where he won two gold medals, in the team pursuit on the track and in the team road race, and a silver medal in the individual road race. After the Second World War he turned professional and became mostly known as a six-day racer, winning six major titles on the six-day circuit. His brother Roger Lapébie was also a professional cyclist. This entry rests on the Olympedia biography, which supports his nationality, birth year, discipline, Olympic medals and professional specialty; his full professional record is left for later sourced work.
