Biography

Martin van der Borgh (Koningsbosch, 28 oktober 1934 – Brunssum, 12 februari 2018) was een Nederlands wielrenner.

Loopbaan

Van der Borgh was professioneel wielrenner van 1957 tot 1964. Hij nam driemaal deel aan de Ronde van Frankrijk en behaalde alleen in de Ronde van Frankrijk 1960 de finish in Parijs. In deze editie werd hij in de eerste etappe naar Brussel in winnende positie door een politieagent, enkele meters voor de eindstreep, een verkeerde weg in gestuurd. Hierdoor liep hij de etappezege én de gele trui mis. Van der Borgh was een redelijk goed klimmer, getuige zijn uitslagen in enkele bergritten in de Tour van 1960.

Zijn grootste persoonlijke succes was de eerste plaats in het eindklassement in de Franse wielerwedstrijd Tour du Nord in 1961.

Zijn wielercarrière werd in 1964 abrupt beëindigd door een ongeluk waarbij hij zijn knie verbrijzelde. Van der Borgh overleed in 2018 nadat hij enige tijd ziek was geweest.
