Émile Idée (19 July 1920 – 30 December 2024) was a French professional road bicycle racer.[1][2] Idée was a five-time winner of the Critérium National (a race that saw its name changed to Critérium International in 1979), a record he shares with Raymond Poulidor and Jens Voigt. He finished in second place in the 1948 Paris–Roubaix.[3]

Idée turned 100 on 19 July 2020,[4] and died on 30 December 2024, at the age of 104. At the time of his death he was said to have been the oldest Tour de France stage winner.[5]
