Gazzola GS 1961 - cycling figurine

In the 1961 professional peloton, Gazzola GS could count on one of the most feared climbers of the era: Luxembourg's Charly Gaul, known as "the Angel of the Mountains." That season, Gaul excelled across several fronts — stage winner and overall champion at the Tour de Luxembourg, stage winner at the Tour de France, and crowned Luxembourg national road champion. All of this unfolded against the backdrop of a Tour de France utterly dominated by Jacques Anquetil, who wore the yellow jersey from Paris to Paris without ever relinquishing it.

This figurine faithfully reproduces the Gazzola GS team jersey as worn during the 1961 season. Cast in zamak — a zinc alloy renowned for its durability and precision of detail — it is entirely hand-painted in France, in the artisanal tradition that defines the Le Petit Cycliste collection.

• Material: zamak (zinc alloy), small-batch French manufacture
• Hand-painted with careful attention to finish
• Reproduces the Gazzola GS team jersey, 1961 season
• Ideal for collectors and peloton enthusiasts

A piece to recreate the peloton of the 1960s and pay tribute to the teams and riders who shaped the legend of professional cycling.
