Robert Marchand, the oldest cyclist in the world, was 109 years old

Robert Marchand, the oldest cyclist in the world, died: he was 109 years old. Marchand was the record holder of the hour of 100 (over 24 km / h) and 105 years (over 22 km / h), and last November, on his birthday, he had gained further affection in the world of two-wheel racing by writing to the president French, Emmanuel Macron, calling for a relaxation of training restrictions during the lockdown. “Even for a 109-year-old sportsman, I assure you – he wrote to Macron – that a kilometer is really too short. Those who ride a bike need more space”.
