Victor Leloup

Victor Leloup was a Belgian professional motocross rider, born on 13 March 1924 and died on 22 February 2006. He won the first Motocross World Championship, held in 1952, in the main class, which at that time was the 500cc class. That result made him the first rider to hold the world title in the sport premier category. The English Wikipedia article spells the surname Lelup in its opening line, and lists a profile of him on the Connaitre la Wallonie site among its external links. The article is brief and gives no club, team or further career detail, so none is claimed here.
