Maurice Le Guilloux (born 14 May 1950) is a French former racing cyclist. He rode in eleven Grand Tours between 1975 and 1984.[1] [2] He spent much of his career as a domestique for fellow Breton cyclist Bernard Hinault[3] and subsequently became a directeur sportif at La Vie Claire.[4] However Le Guilloux and Hinault's friendship was damaged by the events of the 1986 Tour de France, where Le Guilloux was the directeur sportif responsible for Hinault's rival and team-mate at La Vie Claire, Greg LeMond.[5]
