Louis Mottiat was a Belgian professional road racing cyclist, born on 6 July 1889 in Bouffioulx and died on 5 June 1972 in Gilly, aged 82. Both places lie in the Hainaut province of Belgium, in the Charleroi area. Because of his endurance he was nicknamed the iron man. His racing career was interrupted by World War I, which cut across the years in which a rider born in 1889 would otherwise have been at his peak. The English Wikipedia article on him is brief and refers readers to the Cycling Archives for his results.
