Full Biography
|Régis Clère (15 August 1956 – 9 June 2012) was a French professional road bicycle racer.
Clère was born in Langres. During his career, he won three stages in the Tour de France. He won one of these stages, in the 1987 Tour de France, after he was almost eliminated after finishing outside the time limit in the previous stage, but the Tour de France jury allowed him to continue the race. In 1981, he won two stages of the Vuelta a España, and the French National Road Race Championships the following year. He also competed in the individual road race event at the 1980 Summer Olympics.
Clère died, aged 55, in Dijon during a surgical procedure.
