Georges Tribouillard (22 March 1883 – 16 March 1919) was a French professional road cyclist. He competed professionally from 1908 to 1914 and was known as a modest but respected rider.[1]
Biography
Tribouillard was born in Le Bignon-Mirabeau, in the Loiret department of France. He raced professionally for La Française for three years and was often sought after as a pacer in long-distance events such as Bordeaux–Paris and the French National Championship.[1]
During World War I, he served as a soldier but suffered a serious aviation accident that cost him an eye. Classified as "réformé n°1" (unfit for further military service), he was later assigned to the Voisin aircraft works. He died on 16 March 1919 at his home in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, reportedly from severe stomach ailments related to his wartime injuries.[2][3]
