Marcel Kint
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marcel Kint (Zwevegem, 20 September 1914 - Kortrijk, 23 March 2002) was a Belgium professional road bicycle racer who won 31 races[1] between 1935 and 1951. His finest year was in 1938 when he won the World Cycling Championship, three stages of the Tour de France and the unofficial season long competition, which is today's equivalent to the UCI ProTour champion (or formerly the World Cup champion).
He specialized in competing in the one-day classic cycle races and has won such races as Paris-Roubaix, Gent-Wevelgem, Paris-Brussels and is the only three-time consecutive winner of the Belgian semi-classic La Flèche Wallonne.
