Cycling / Tour / World Championships - Lot 79
Cycling / Tour / World Championships Saddle belonging to André DARRIGADE, 1959 Road World Champion. Brooks brand, black leather, 3 rivets in the front, 6 rivets in the back 29 x 14 cm A true Tour legend, “the greyhound from the Landes”—born in 1929 between Dax and Biarritz—won 22 stages and wore the Yellow Jersey for 19 days (between 1955 and 1964). He was also the 1959 World Road Champion, having spent more than 7 hours on this saddle. A theme worth exploring, alongside Picasso’s bull and a few marvels like the saddles by Bottecchia or Dewaële. “You can tell a lot about a rider by his saddle,” said Francis Pélissier.
