Maurice Quentin

Cycling Disciplines

Maurice Quentin was a French professional road bicycle racer, born in Maiziéres-les-Metz in the Moselle on 2 June 1920 and died on 19 April 2013. English Wikipedia credits him with winning stage 15 of the 1953 Tour de France, his only Tour de France stage victory. Its list of his results also names the GP du Débarquement Nord in 1945, the GP Courrier Picard in 1946, the Tour du Calvados and Paris - Clermont-Ferrand in 1949, the Circuit des Boucles de la Seine in 1952, and the Circuit des Hautes-Vosges and the GP d'Espéraza in 1957. The article cites the sports daily L'Équipe for news of his death. It names no team and gives no career span, so this entry records only what the article states.
