Honore Barthelemy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Honoré Barthélémy was a French road bicycle racer who took part and finished fifth overall and won four stages in the 1919 Tour de France.

The following year at the 1920 Tour in Stage 9, a piece of flint permanently blinded him in one eye but did not prevent him from completing the stage. Later in the race, he broke his wrist and dislocated a shoulder. He finished eighth overall, then got a glass eye.

At the 1921 Tour de France, he finished third overall and won Stage 12.
