Jean Forestier is a French former road cyclist, born on 7 October 1930, who raced as a professional from 1953 to 1965. His best-known result is the 1955 Paris-Roubaix, which he won, and a book on that victory by Benoît Prieur appeared in 2018 under the title Jean Forestier ou la conquête de Paris-Roubaix 1955. At the 1957 Tour de France he won the points classification, the sprinters competition of the race, and he wore the yellow jersey of the overall leader for two days. The source article is brief, so this entry records only his professional span, the Paris-Roubaix win and the two Tour de France results the article states.
