Details
In 1937 werd de reus Jean Majerus een Luxemburgse sportheld door de eerste rit Parijs-Rijsel van de Tour de France te winnen en de Gele Trui te omgorden. Te Kopenhagen (wereldkampioenschap op de weg) rijdt hij dat jaar ook een prachtige koers, maar kan na 297 km niet afmaken in de spurt met vijf. In de Tour van 1938 bevestigt hij door te St-Brieuc Speicher, Magne, en Leducq te kloppen en weer de Gele Trui te veroveren. Luxemburg maakt tijdens de oorlog deel van het groot Duitse Rijk en zo laat Jean Majerus zich overhalen om veel in Duitsland te koersen tijdens de oorlogsjaren.Results
