Fangio-Tonissteiner-OM Trucks-Mavic Cycling Team (Belgium) - 1979-86
Something of a low budget team that survived from 1979-86 with moderate results but worthy of a closer look. Fangio made Belgian bikes, Sapeco, Marc, EcoTurbo, Tonissteiner was mineral water, OM Trucks were just that & Mavic provided the groupsets. Team manager was ex-pro Wilfred Reybrouck. Dark green team kit reminds one of the current dull & somewhat boring Rapha style kit paraded around your local Aussie suburb.
A team focused on the Belgian kermesse (criterium style) racing calendar with the odd invite to a local Belgian Classic or two. Kermesse riders were Edwin Bafcop, Gary Wiggins (father of) and Michel Vaarten, with a more Belgian Classic squad in Rudy Matthijs, Michel Dernies, Eric Van Lancker & Willy Tackaert.
