Heyliett Radium 1960 - cycling figurine

The 1960 season left a lasting mark on professional cycling. On the Tour de France, Italian Gastone Nencini claimed the overall victory — but it is the dramatic crash of Roger Rivière on the descent of the Col de Perjuret that etched itself into cycling history. The French champion, at the very peak of his powers, ended his racing career on that mountain road. A season of contrasts: brutal, beautiful, and utterly compelling, just as the peloton of that golden era so often was. Meanwhile, Jacques Anquetil was busy asserting his dominance at the Giro d'Italia, winning the Italian grand tour for the second time. A landmark year in the story of professional cycling.

It is against this rich backdrop that the Heyliett Radium team lined up at the major races of the season. This miniature figurine faithfully captures the jersey worn by the team's riders throughout 1960, preserving the visual identity of a French squad from cycling's golden age.

Cast in zamak — a zinc alloy prized for its durability and fine detail — each figurine is hand-painted in France, following the artisanal tradition that defines this collector's range. The careful finishing makes each piece a genuine artefact, perfect for recreating the peloton of a bygone era or adding to a collection dedicated to the great teams of professional cycling.
