Marc Madiot

A former French professional road racer, Marc Madiot was born in Renazé, France, on April 16, 1959. In 1980, he began a professional cycling career that lasted until 1994. Later in 1997, he made a comeback to the sport as the team manager for the cycling team Française des Jeux.

The Paris-Roubaix for Amateurs victory was Madiot’s most notable accomplishment as an amateur cyclist. He took part in the Moscow Summer Olympics in 1980.

Madiot started riding professionally with the renowned Renault team. In spite of concentrating mostly on road racing, he also had considerable success in cyclocross, winning the French Cyclocross Championship in 1982. His two victories in Paris-Roubaix in 1985 and 1991, as well as his stage victory at the Tour de France in 1984, were among his most famous on-the-road accomplishments.

Madiot established a cycling squad in 1995 that sponsored and encouraged young cyclists while imparting his wisdom. When he approached La Française des Jeux, the French National Lottery Company, in search of sponsors, they recognized a chance to gain more exposure through this well-liked sport. The La Française des Jeux team was established in 1997, and it rapidly became successful. Frédéric Guesdon won Paris-Roubaix in the race’s first year, and Davide Rebellin triumphed in the Clásica San Sebastián and the Meisterschaft von Zürich.

The professional cycling brother of Madiot, Yvon Madiot, won the French Cyclocross Championship.
