Gitane History: A Timeline of Key Racing and Corporate Events

Gitane logo (featured)

Gitane took its name from founder Marcel Bruneliere's own nickname, given to him by his wife for his constant continent-spanning dealmaking, and applied it to bicycles beginning in 1930. This timeline traces the marque's Tour de France triumphs under Jacques Anquetil, Bernard Hinault and Greg LeMond through its eventual reduction to a licensed name on generic bicycles.
