Petrus Franciscus Maria Post , called Peter Post , (* 12. November 1933 in Amsterdam ; † 14. January 2011 ibid) was one of the most successful Dutch professional - cyclist and later sports director of various cycling teams .
Career as an active athlete
Peter Post was born the son of a butcher in Amsterdam; he still had twelve siblings. At the age of 19 he was discovered as a cyclist by Gerrit Schulte . He worked as a professional from 1956 to 1972. Because of its unusual size for a cyclist, it was called "de Lange" in the Netherlands.
During his career as an active cyclist, Peter Post was mainly active on the track . He won 65 six-day races alone ; this puts him in fourth place in the all-time ranking.
But Post was also successful on the street. In 1960 he won the Tour of the Netherlands and in 1962 the Tour of Germany . His greatest success was the 1964 victory at Paris – Roubaix . After this race he was awarded the "Ruban Jaune" (German: " Yellow Ribbon ") for the fastest average speed in classics over 200 kilometers in length (5h52'19 "= 45.129 km / h). For Paris-Roubaix , Posts record still stands today. In 1965 , Post started the Tour de France , but gave up. He later admitted that he had doped himself for this competition. On January 22, 1972, Post officially resigned from cycling.
