This zamak figurine faithfully captures the jersey worn by the Rapha Geminiani team throughout the 1959 season. Cast in zinc alloy, then hand-painted in the Le Petit Cycliste workshop in Roubaix, it embodies the finest French craft tradition applied to a lifelong passion for professional cycling.
The 1959 season
The 1959 season stands as one of the great chapters in post-war professional cycling. At the Tour de France, Federico Bahamontes — the Eagle of Toledo — claimed overall victory in a peloton shaped by fierce European rivalry. This was the golden age of French cycling, and the Rapha Geminiani team — bearing the name of the legendary Raphaël Géminiani, nicknamed « le Grand Fusil » (the Big Gun) — was one of the most respected outfits in the peloton. A team that embodied the elegance and ambition of the sport at its finest.
