Génial Lucifer Hutchinson 1947 - cycling figurine

This zamak figurine faithfully captures the Génial Lucifer Hutchinson team jersey as it was worn in the professional peloton during the 1947 season. Cast in zinc alloy and hand-painted in our Roubaix workshop, each piece is produced in a small series — with the attention to detail that defines this collector's range.

The 1947 season marks cycling's triumphant return after the war years. The Tour de France was back on the road for the first time since 1939, riding into a new era with the spirit of a popular celebration. The edition became the stuff of legend: Jean Robic seized the overall lead on the very last stage, overhauling his rivals in a breathtaking sprint finish after weeks of fierce racing. The peloton of that era — forged through the hardships of the occupation years — rode with a ferocity and tenacity rarely seen since. Commercial trade teams, including Hutchinson — the renowned tyre manufacturer long embedded in the cycling world — shaped the French peloton and helped rebuild the great stage of European road racing.
