Marcel Bidot

Marcel Bidot was a French professional road bicycle racer who later became a team manager. He was born on 21 December 1902 and died on 26 January 1995. As a rider he won two stages of the Tour de France, the great three-week stage race of French cycling. After his racing career he became manager of the French national team, which contested the Tour in the era when the race was ridden by national and regional squads. His English Wikipedia article says he led the team in 12 Tours and won six of them, a record that makes him better known as a sports director than as a rider. The article does not name his trade teams or give his full results, so this entry stops at what it supports.
