Heiri Suter

Heinrich 'Heiri' Suter (10 July 1899 – 6 November 1978) was a Swiss road racing cyclist. Excelling mainly in the classics, Suter was the first non-Belgian winner of the Tour of Flanders in 1923. Two weeks after his win in the Tour of Flanders, he won Paris–Roubaix, becoming the first cyclist to win both classics in the same year.[1] He also holds a record six victories in Züri-Metzgete, Switerland's most important one-day race.
