Luciano Armani was an Italian professional road bicycle racer who lived from 12 October 1940 to 4 February 2023. His English Wikipedia article describes his part in the twelfth stage of the 1971 Tour de France, when Eddy Merckx attacked from the start while Luis Ocaña held the race lead. Armani was in the group that joined Merckx and Rini Wagtmans, and at the end of the 245 kilometre stage he surprised Merckx, a run so fast that the finish came about ninety minutes ahead of the slowest schedule the organizers had set. The article lists no team or season results, so this entry stays to that stage and his dates.
