Eugene Christophe was a French cyclist born on the 22nd of January 1885 in Paris. Nicknamed “Le Vieux Gaulois” (“the old Gaul”), he won the Milan-San Remo in 1910 with a lead of several hours, finishing the race half frozen after riding in 30cm of snow. His fame increased in the 1913 Tour de France. While leading the race he was hit by a car at the top of the “col du Tourmalet”, the impact snapping his fork. After walking for 9 miles, he found a blacksmith and repaired his fork himself in order to resume the race. In 1919 he became the first racer ever to wear the yellow jersey. He is also viewed as the inventor of the toe clip. In 1925, he sold his invention to the company Poutrait-Morin now known as Zéfal. Until the day Zéfal still produces these legendary Christophe clips and straps.”
