Rokado Professional Cycling Team (Germany) - 1972-75

Sponsors were Rokado (furniture) and Maes Pils a very fine Belgian beer. Bikes were Belgian in Groene Leeuw.

A substantial team line up with 33 riders across road, track & cyclocross disciplines. If that all sounds like the 33 riders were spread too thin then you would be right. They really didn’t win much for the investment … Herman Van Springel won the Points Classification at the 1973 Tour de France, Andre Dierckx was a Classics specialist against the might of Eddy Merckx, Lucian Aimar was a fading French Tour de France legend (much better results in the 1960’s and way past his best at Rokado), Gerben Karstens (a great sprinter on his day), with track specialists Sigi Renz, Theo Verscheuren & Louis Pfenninger.
