Sauveur Ducazeaux

Cycling Disciplines

Sauveur Ducazeaux was a French professional road bicycle racer, born in Biarritz on 8 December 1910 and died in Colmar on 23 June 1987. As a rider he won one stage in the 1936 Tour de France. After his racing career he became a team captain, and the English Wikipedia lead notes that in 1956 he was the team captain of Roger Walkowiak, who surprisingly won that year's Tour de France. His story therefore spans two parts of the sport, the racer who took a stage in the Tour in the 1930s and the sporting director who guided an unexpected overall winner two decades later.
