Raymond Louviot

Raymond Louviot was a French professional road bicycle racer, born on 17 December 1908 and died on 14 May 1969. He was the grandfather of the cyclist Philippe Louviot. After he stopped racing he became a team manager, and in that role he figures in an account by the British cyclist Brian Robinson, who accused Louviot of a commercial tie-up with the rival rider Miguel Poblet that cost Robinson first place in the 1957 Milan to San Remo. Robinson recalled that his manager told him to help Poblet over the line, and that Poblet won while he finished third. The article gives no racing results for Louviot himself.
