Pierre Beuffeuil (L'Éguille, France, 30 October 1934[1]) is a former French professional road bicycle racer.
[2] Pierre Beuffeuil was riding the Tour de France in 1960 for the regional Centre-Midi team[3] when news came that Charles de Gaulle, the president, would be by the route at Colombey-les-deux-Églises, where he lived.
The organisers, Jacques Goddet and Félix Lévitan asked the national champion, Henry Anglade, if the riders would be willing to stop.
He pressed on alone, now leading rather than following, and won the stage alone on the boulevard Jules-Guesde by 49 seconds.
[7] Beuffeuil won the stage from Montluçon to Orléans in 1966[8] after a break of 204 km.
