Description
Cycling/Dilecta/F.Le Drogo/Bretagne/Tricolore. Canvas poster: "Ferdinand Le Drogo, 1927 French professional road champion, on a Dilecta bicycle." At least as much as the Pélissiers, who wore the blue and gold jersey of Dilecta in 1927, the exploits of Ferdinand Le Drogo (1903-1976), from Pontivy and Vannes, contributed to a threefold increase in sales of the company's machines. It must be said that Ferdinand, Paul's brother, will still be French champion in 1928, and vice-champion of the world in 1931! In 1927, the giant Breton (1m83; 83kg), whose power is perfectly reflected in this picture, will also be the first Breton to wear the Yellow Jersey. TBE
