Jean-Louis Gauthier

Jean-Louis Gauthier (22 December 1955 to 11 July 2014) was a French professional road racing cyclist who turned professional in 1977 and rode at that level until 1987. In that decade he collected two victories, one of which was a stage of the 1980 Tour de France. His other moment in the sport's biggest race came in 1983, when he took the yellow jersey as leader of the general classification and wore it for one day. His record is therefore short in wins but includes both a Tour stage victory and a spell as race leader. Gauthier died in July 2014 at the age of 58.
