FC Grenoble Rugby had the sadness to learn of the death of Bernard Gauthier, professional cyclist of the 1950s and supporter of the Club. The "Alumni" of the FCG wanted to pay tribute to him.
Mr Bordeaux / Paris is gone ...
In the 50s, he was a true idol for Dauphineers. Especially in 1950, after the feat of having kept for 7 days the yellow jersey of the most famous of his 10 tours of France, he will definitely return to the heart of the sportsmen Grenoblois. Already, at that time, he did not miss a game in Lesdiguières, when his schedule cyclist allowed it.
But among his impressive record, we will remember, 1956, two years after his friends "Red & Blue", when he had managed to win the title of champion of France on the road. This title had allowed him then to return to the family of ovalia.
Today, the elders unanimously ask that he be given a "Cape of Honor" to seal forever this indestructible friendship ....
