Charly Gaul
Charly Gaul, known as the 'Angel of the Mountains,' is a legendary Luxembourger cyclist celebrated for his exceptional climbing abilities. He won the Tour de France's mountain classification twice in 1955 and 1956, yet, ironically, never wore the iconic polka dot jersey, as it was only introduced in 1975. Gaul is considered one of the greatest climbers in cycling history, renowned for his fierce competitive spirit and remarkable performances in mountainous stages.
