	Charly Gaul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charly Gaul (December 8, 1932 – December 6, 2005) was a leading professional cyclist of the 1950s.
		Gaul was known for his strong performances in cold and wet weather conditions, of which he often took advantage to attack his rivals.
		Charly Gaul's victory in the 1958 Tour de France occurred in the same year as Charles De Gaulle (similar name) came to power in France.

	Guardian \| Charly Gaul
		According to one of his great rivals, the Frenchman Raphael Geminiani, the diminutive Gaul was "a murderous climber, always the same sustained rhythm, a little machine with a slightly higher gear than the rest, turning his legs at a speed that would break your heart, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock".
		Gaul won 10 stages in the Tour and was twice crowned King of the Mountains, but he forged his reputation in just two days in the Tour and Giro, both in the foul weather which adds a nightmare quality to the toughness of climbing and descending mountains, but which seemed to suit him.
		Gaul retired from cycling in 1963, made an abortive comeback in 1965, then spent six months running a café near the main station in the centre of Luxembourg city, before slipping out of public view as effectively as he had slipped away from the pack in the Alps and Dolomites.

	Charly Gaul; star climber in cycling during the 1950s; 72 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Charly Gaul, one of the great climbers in bicycle racing history and the winner of the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia nearly half a century ago, died Dec. 6 in his native Luxembourg.
		Gaul riding along the peaks of France and Italy showed how he earned it: On the barren slopes of Mont Ventoux, in the moonscape of the Alps or the snows of Monte Bodone in the Dolomites, he was invariably pictured alone, far ahead of the pack as he churned uphill.
		Gaul was king of the mountains twice in the Giro, in 1956 and 1959, winning that race in both years.

		Gaul is probably the only rider in the race who excels in such conditions, however having built an early lead over the Costalunga and Rolle climbs, the Angel suffers a mechanical on the descent and his lead is eaten up.
		Gaul could not recover fully from his efforts in the Giro in time for the 1956 Tour de France, but he won the Mountains classification again, and two more stages, the 15.1 ITT on stage 4a and an epic stage between Turin and Grenoble.
		Charly Gaul again enjoyed the freezing conditions, on the second climb of the day, the Luitel, he attacked and dropped his opponents, causing disarray and panic in the peloton.

		The Gaul in Italy was called Cisalpine Gaul [Cisalpine, from Lat.=on this side the Alps], as opposed to Transalpine Gaul; Cisalpine Gaul was divided into Cispadane Gaul [on this side the Po] and Transpadane Gaul.
		In Roman Gaul it often became customary to call the chief center of a tribe or the country around it by some form of the tribe's name.
		The greatest testimony to the stability and thoroughness of the culture of Roman Gaul is the survival of the Latin language as French.
