France Sport D'Alessandro 1949 - cycling figurine

A handcrafted zamak collector's figurine, cast from a fine zinc alloy and meticulously hand-painted in the French workshops of Le Petit Cycliste. Every piece faithfully reproduces the France Sport D'Alessandro team jersey as it was worn in the professional peloton during the 1949 season — an era that true cycling enthusiasts hold close to their hearts.

1949 Season — A Year for the Ages
The 1949 season stands as one of the most storied chapters in professional road cycling. That year's Tour de France saw Fausto Coppi deliver a masterful performance, completing the near-mythical Giro-Tour double in a single season — a feat so rare it defined an entire generation of cycling fans. Racing alongside the great Italian squads, the French teams fought fiercely for their colours, making for an epic season of rivalry, mountain stages, and unforgettable racing.

This figurine is made for collectors who rebuild the peloton of the past, season by season, preserving a faithful record of the jerseys and teams of a golden age in the sport.
