René Pedroli was a Swiss professional road bicycle racer, born in Montignies-sur-Sambre, Belgium, on 19 July 1914 and died in Charleroi, Belgium, on 17 July 1986. Although he was born and raised in Belgium, his parents were of Swiss nationality and so was he. Because he grew up in Belgium he mostly took part in Belgian races, including the Belgian national championships in 1932. He won stage 12B of the 1937 Tour de France as a member of the Swiss team. The Wikipedia article is short, so this entry records his identity, his unusual Belgian upbringing with Swiss nationality, and that single Tour stage win.
