Cyrille Van Hauwaert (Moorslede, 16 December 1883 - Zellik, 15 February 1974) was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer, known for winning classics as Bordeaux–Paris (1907 and 1909), Milan–San Remo and Paris–Roubaix (both 1908).[1] He was the first Belgian cyclist to win a stage in the Tour de France in 1909, also leading the general classification for one day.[2]
