Hans Dekkers was a Dutch professional road bicycle racer, born in Eindhoven on 16 June 1928 and died on 31 August 1984. English Wikipedia credits him with the Dutch national road race championship in both 1951 and 1952, and with winning stage 19 of the 1952 Tour de France, his only Tour de France stage victory. Its list of his results also names the Omloop der Kempen in 1949, the Ronde van Noord-Holland in 1951 and the Scheldeprijs in 1953, along with criterium style wins at Houthalen-Helchteren, Breda, Maastricht and Sas van Gent. The article is a short stub that names no team and gives no career span, so this entry records only what it states.
