Rudy Matthijs

Rudy Matthijs is a Belgian retired professional road bicycle racer, born on 3 March 1959 in Eeklo. His best known results came in the Tour de France, where he won four stages. Three of those wins came in the 1985 Tour de France, on stages 1 and 2 and then on the final stage in Paris, a day that his English Wikipedia article describes as one of the biggest sprinters stages in all of cycling because it finishes on the Champs Elysees. The article is brief and gives no team list or other race record in prose, so this entry limits itself to his birth, nationality and Tour de France stage wins and leaves further results to later research.
