Omer Taverne

Omer Taverne was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer who was born in Binche on 27 July 1904 and died in the same town on 10 October 1981, so both his birth and his death are recorded in Binche. His English Wikipedia article credits him with winning two stages in the Tour de France, the great stage race of European road cycling, though the short article does not say in which year the wins came. This entry therefore records his Belgian nationality, his dates and places of birth and death, his discipline and the two Tour stage victories, and nothing beyond what the page states.
