Michele Orecchia

Michele Orecchia was an Italian professional road bicycle racer, born on 26 December 1903 and died on 18 November 1981. He won one stage in the 1932 Tour de France, the principal achievement of his professional career. Earlier, he had represented Italy at the 1928 Summer Olympics, where he competed in both the individual and the team road race events. His career thus ran from the late 1920s into the early 1930s, a period when Italian riders were establishing themselves in the Tour, and the English Wikipedia article about him lists his major results and links to cycling archive records.
