Roger Pingeon 1967 - cycling figurine

Wearing the yellow jersey earned on the roads of the 1967 Tour de France, Roger Pingeon secured his place in the annals of French cycling. This zamak figurine captures the defining moment of a quiet, tenacious champion — a rider whose Tour victory remains one of the most emotionally charged in the race's history.

The 1967 season — a Tour etched in history
The 1967 Tour de France stands as one of the most dramatic and poignant editions ever raced. Riding for Peugeot-Michelin, Pingeon claimed overall victory with composed, consistent riding across three weeks. Yet his triumph is forever shadowed by the tragic death of Tom Simpson on the slopes of Mont Ventoux during Stage 13 — a moment that shook the cycling world and sparked a long-overdue reckoning with the demands placed on riders.
