Rouen ,2 April 1884 –19 August 1941 ,Paris ) was a French professionalroad bicycle racer from 1907 through 1927. Despite winning 5 career stages in theTour de France , he may be most remembered for being disqualified at the1919 Tour de France for borrowing a car to go and repair his pedal axle.In 1911, Duboc was close to winning the Tour de France, when he became ill after drinking from a poisoned bottle given to him. His fans were blaming the classification leaderGustave Garrigou , and the Tour organizers advised Garrigou to ride under disguise. Duboc would end the 1911 Tour de France in second place, his best result.Major achievements
