Paul Egli

Paul Egli was a Swiss professional road bicycle racer, born on 18 August 1911 and died on 23 January 1997. He is best known for two medals at the UCI Road World Championships, a bronze in 1937 and a silver in 1938. At home he also won the Swiss National Road Race championship twice, in 1935 and in 1936, so he was national champion in two successive seasons. His career belongs to the interwar years of professional road cycling, when the national championships and the world championship road race were among the most important single-day titles a rider could win. The English Wikipedia article on him is brief and gives his dates, these medals and his two national titles, and it points readers to the Cycling Archives profile and to the official Tour de France results page for the full list of his races.
