History:

Raphael Geminiani, a pro racer from 1946 to 1958, was a highly respected and talented rider who consistently performed well, despite not always achieving major wins. Known for his climbing abilities, he was crowned Champion of France in 1953 and was even leading in the Tour de France in 1958. Though he ultimately lost to Charlie Gaul, he did not let the setback stop him from helping other great riders like Bobet and Coppi to victory. Even after he retired, Geminiani continued to impact the sport as the Director Sportif for both the St Raphael Team and Eddy Merckx's Fiat Team, revolutionizing pro road racing with his introduction of commercially sponsored teams. His contributions will forever be remembered and appreciated in the world of cycling.
