Henri Puppo was a professional road cyclist who was born on 5 February 1913 in Le Tignet, in the Alpes-Maritimes, and died on 7 January 2012. He entered the world as an Italian citizen but changed his nationality to French in 1937, the same year that he took a stage victory at the Tour de France. His career belongs to the interwar generation of European road racers, when stage wins at the Tour were taken by individual riders on rough roads and heavy bicycles, and a single stage victory was enough to secure a place in the race history. This entry records him as a male French road cyclist whose Tour de France stage win in 1937 is the main result named in the source for his career.
