updated =June 19 ,2008 Raymond Louviot (
Granges ,Switzerland ,17 December 1908 —Dunkerque ,14 May 1969 ) was a French professionalroad bicycle racer . He was the grandfather of cyclistPhilippe Louviot .He became a team manager after retirement. The British cyclist,
Brian Robinson , accuses a commercial tie-up between Louviot andMiguel Poblet a rival in another team, for denying him first place in the 1957Milan-Sanremo . Robinson said::My manager,
Raymond Louviot , had a tie-up in the cycle trade with Poblet. He told me that if Poblet was anywhere near me it was my job to get him over the line first. I buggered off up a hill, then my manager came up and told me 'Remember what I told you.' Poblet won, I was third, that is my biggest regret. If I had won I would have been made for life.
