La première biographie de Philippe Thys, un des grands noms du cyclisme mondial.En ce temps-là, le Tour de France comptait près de 5.400 kilomètres, soit 50% de plus qu’aujourd’hui. C’est dire si l’exploit de l’Anderlechtois Philippe Thys est à inscrire dans la légende de la 'grande boucle'. Deuxième Belge, après Odile Defraye, à remporter la plus prestigieuse épreuve cycliste au monde, il gagna en 1913 la première de ses trois victoires au Tour à la moyenne respectable de 26,7 km/h (elle tourne à présent autour de 40 km/h).Il fut le premier à signer pareil triplé et figure encore aujourd’hui parmi les plus jeunes vainqueurs de l’épreuve puisqu’il remporta son premier succès à moins de 24 ans. Sans la Première Guerre Mondiale, il aurait sans doute signé d’autres victoires, le conflit ayant interrompu l’épreuve pendant cinq ans alors qu’il était à l’apogée de sa carrière. Après avoir servi dans l’Armée de l’air française pendant la Guerre, Philippe Thys remporta son 3e Tour en 1920. Coureur multi-terrains, il s’illustra à la fois sur la route, dans les labourés et sur piste. La légende veut qu’il soit l’inventeur du maillot jaune, pull qu’il portait pour être mieux reconnu par le public en tant que leader du classement général.
