biography
Jean-Pierre Danguillaume comes from a family of cyclists: his father and four of his uncles, including Camille Danguillaume , were active on the bike. He was also related to the two-time French road champion, Émile Idée . His brother Jean-Louis Danguillaume was also a successful amateur cyclist. In his book Abécédaire insolite du Tour , the journalist Jacques Augendre wrote that it was “the greatest family in cycling”, with the most (1800) victories. By his own count, he achieved the family's 1,000th victory when he won the ninth stage of the International Peace Tour on May 21, 1969. Danguillaume himself said he was "vaccinated" with cycling. He got his first bike when he was five years old and when he was about 14 he started cycling, “that was natural”. In 1965 he became a member of the French national team.
In 1967 Danguillaume won a stage of the Tour of Scotland . The following year he started in the team time trial at the Olympic Games in Mexico and finished 15th together with Jean-Pierre Boulard , Robert Bouloux and Claude le Chatellier .
The following year, Danguillaume was the last Frenchman to win the International Peace Tour , the most important cycling race for amateurs at the time . Then he went over to the professionals and signed a contract with Peugeot , where Bernard Thévenet also drove. Danguillaume stayed with this team until the end of his career in 1978. With the professionals he was able to achieve 68 victories in eight years, including seven stages of the Tour de France and the bronze medal in the road race at the road cycling world championships in 1975.
Jean-Pierre Danguillaume tested positive for amphetamines in 1974 .
After finishing his professional career, Danguillaume received the position of sporting director in the Mercier team , from which he was dismissed after six years for economic reasons. He then worked in public relations and as a project manager for Coca-Cola , initially only for the Tour de France , then for all sports. In January 2017, a fire broke out in the attic of his house in Joué-lès-Tours; Most of the memorabilia from his cycling days were lost due to the fire.
