Paul Duboc

Cycling Disciplines

Paul Duboc, who lived from 2 April 1884 to 19 August 1941, was a French professional road bicycle racer from 1907 through 1927. He won five career stages in the Tour de France, yet he may be most remembered for being disqualified from the 1919 Tour for borrowing a car to go and repair the axle of his pedal. His best Tour result came in 1911, when he finished second after falling ill from drinking out of a poisoned bottle that he had been given, an episode for which his supporters blamed the race leader Gustave Garrigou. The Wikipedia article is brief and lists his major results only as a heading, so this entry keeps to those two stories and his career span.
