Théophile Beeckman was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer, born in Meerbeke on 1 November 1896 and died there on 22 November 1955. English Wikipedia credits him with two Tour de France stage wins, stage 3 in 1924 and stage 10 in 1925, and with strong overall finishes at the Tour: fifth place in 1924, sixth in 1925 and fourth in 1926. It also lists a 1922 win in Heure le Romain - Malmédy - Heure le Romain. He rode in the years after the First World War, when the Tour was still a race of long, rough stages.
