there is or was an Etablissements Cycles Leroux located at Place Edouard in Nantes, France

the professional cycling team of Essor, Leroux, Hutchinson was sponsoring cycling champions in 1957

in 1961 the team was called Alcyon Leroux

1666987506248.png


for the racing season of 1962 this team name changed to Gitane-Leroux

by 1966 it had become Helyett-Leroux

here is an image of cycling champion Jacques Anquetil riding for the team

Helyett-Leroux-Fynsec-Hutchinson

if you enlarge the image somewhat you will be able to see that his water bottle bears a Leroux silkscreen -

the Leroux name in connection with cycles can be a (slight) source of confusion.
there was and is another Leroux which sponsored a cycling award/prize. they are a maker of chicory products.

Programme for an Omnium held 18 May 1944 in Tours, France

a rider named Leroux is listed as a participant

unfortunately no first name or initial is given

possible it may be Robert

no way to know as yet if any connection to Cycles Leroux

1721963


this is said to be the cycle ridden in the event

note that the transfers are in the Belgian national colours
