The team won the Tour de France four times before World War I with François Faber in 1909, Octave Lapize in 1910, Gustave Garrigou in 1911 and Odile Defraye in 1912. Alcyon won the team prize at the Tour de France from 1909 to 1912 and then from 1927 to 1929. [1].
Immediately after the First World War, Alcyon like many other bicycle companies joined a Consortium that employed many riders under the La Sportive name. This consortium would win the Tour de France from 1919 to 1921. The Consortium stopped in 1922 and the member companies which included Automoto, Peugeot and Alcyon re-started up their separate cycling teams. Alcyon grew into a very strong team that dominated the Tour de France with three wins in with Nicolas Frantz in 1927 and in 1928 and Maurice De Waele in 1929.
Alcyon dominated the Tour de France during the 1920’s. In the 1929 edition, Maurice Dewaele won the race despite the fact that he was sick when the race went through the Alps. This was because no one attacked the Alcyon rider there.[2] The organisers of the Tour de France decided in 1930 that the race would be disputed by national teams. It has been said that this was done to break the domination of some of the commercial teams, most notably Alcyon [3] As a result, Alcyon was unable to continue to dominate the race. However Alycon-Dunlop riders riding for the French national team were able to dominate the race, such as André Leducq, an Alycon-Dunlop rider who won the very first Tour that was disputed by national teams.[4] Leducq would win the Tour again in 1932, while another Alycon rider, Georges Speicher won the Tour again in 1933.[5]Belgians Romain Maes and Sylvère Maes were riders of the team when they won the Tour de France in 1935, 1936 and 1939.
After World War II, the team name changed to Alcyon-BP (1946-1949), which was followed by Alcyon-Dunlop (1950-1954). The team appears to have stopped sponsoring after 1958[6], although it appears that a team existed for 1961 with was managered by former rider Georges Speicher and Paul Wiegant.[7]
Daher weiß ich, dass rote Reifen immer eher schwierig zu bekommen sind bzw. waren (vor allem, wenn man rote Wulstreifen braucht ... 
), weil so etwas immer nur in gewissen kleinen Serien produziert wird - wenn da was zu haben ist, muss man sich "ranhalten", denn manchmal ist dann nach wenigen Monaten schon wieder Schluß damit. Früher konnte man manchmal sogar etablierte Reifenhersteller wie Continental 'bezirzen', solche Sonderserien aufzulegen, wenn man eine gewisse Mindestabnahme garantieren konnte, aber ich glaube, dass solche "Liebhaberaktionen" im Zeitalter gestiegener Renditeerwartungen der Kapitalanleger eher schwieriger geworden sind. Und Vredestein hat erst vor knapp zwei Jahren das Sortiment radikal bereinigt - so ziemlich alle ungewöhnlichen historischen Reifendimensionen und -ausführungen sind verschwunden, weil davon zu wenige Exemplare verkauft wurden. Passende Vollballonreifen für mein 1936er 'Wanderer' in der (in Deutschland) ungewöhnlichen Dimension 26 x 2 x 1 3/4 (54-571) gab es daher dann nur noch von Cheng Shin aus China ... Das sind aber schöne, ordentlich verarbeitete und zudem preiswerte Reifen, da kann man nicht meckern.
