Honoré Barthélémy (born September 25, 1891 in Paris , † May 12, 1964 Champigny ) was a French cyclist .
In 1912 Honoré Barthélémy became French road champion, but that of an "independent" cycling association. In 1919 he was runner-up on the road and in 1920 in the cyclo-cross race . In the same year he finished third at Paris-Roubaix and started the Tour de France for the first time . He won four stages and was fifth overall.
Barthélémy became particularly popular in his home country through his participation in the Tour de France 1920 , which he finished with sheer strength of will: on the eighth stage to Aix-en-Provence he had a hard fall, but got back on his bike half-blind and bleeding. Despite one broken shoulder, a dislocated wrist and an injured eye, he finished the tour. He was triumphantly received in Paris as eighth overall and thus the best French behind seven Belgians. In 1921 he took part in the tour again and came in third, although he now wore a glass eye, which he however often lost during the race. As a professional driver, he was able to win a total of eleven races.
In 1925 and 1928 Honoré Barthélémy won the Bol d'Or 24-hour track race .
