Peugeot cycles started producing bicycles in 1882, and from then on it was involved in sponsoring cyclists At the beginning of the century a Peugeot cycling team existed. Hippolyte Aucouturier rode Peugeot cycles when he won Paris–Roubaix and Bordeaux–Paris in 1903, and when he was disqualified from the 1904 Tour de France in which he had finished 4th overall, for the illegal use of trains and cars.
But the Peugeot team obtained success for the following 4 years in the Tour de France with Louis Trousselier, René Pottier and Lucien Petit-Breton. The Peugeot team finished second overall the 1912 Giro d'Italia. The team would obtain two further victories in the Tour de France with Belgian Philippe Thys before the outbreak of the First World War.
During this time the team achieved many successes, such as Tom Simpson winning Bordeaux–Paris in 1963, Milan – San Remo in 1964, and then in 1965 becoming world champion with the team, and winning the Giro di Lombardia.
Eddy Merckx rode his first 2 seasons with the team, and won Milan – San Remo twice, Gent–Wevelgem, La Flèche Wallonne, a stage in the 1967 Giro d'Italia, and the world championships road race with the team, in 1966. In 1967, the Tour de France was disputed by national teams, and one of Peugeot's riders, Roger Pingeon won the race. He would win the 1969 Vuelta a España for the team. The team won the Vuelta a España again, with Ferdinand Bracke in 1971.
The name of the team changed in 1965 to Peugeot-BP Michelin, which it stayed until 1976
