Every cycling team has a story. In this series, we’ll dig into the teams that made cycling what it is: the dynasties, the cult squads, the superteams, the survivors, and the vanished names that still echo through the peloton today. We’ll look at where they came from, who built them, what they won, what they changed — and what grew from them after the final finish line
In this first episode, Gary Fairley explores the extraordinary history of the Peugeot cycling team - one of the most influential and successful teams the sport has ever known. From the earliest Tours de France to the modern peloton, Peugeot helped shape professional cycling through legendary riders including Eddy Merckx, Tom Simpson and Bernard Thévenet. Gary follows the team’s evolution through the Roger Legeay years, from Z and GAN to Crédit Agricole, tracing a remarkable lineage that lasted more than a century.
A story of innovation, champions, iconic jerseys and lasting legacy - this is the family tree of Peugeot.
