NSW Masters Championships @ Gunning @ 13-14 Nov - If Saturday was considered “bleak” then lets add Sunday into the mix. It was plain awful.

Wiels Groene Leeuw Cycling Team (Belgium) - 1945-69
Hard core Belgian with a focus on the single day Classics but they did win the 1960 Tour of Spain with Frans De Mulder. Wiels made a delightful beer, Groen Leeuw (Green Lion) made the bikes.
Besides the win in Spain in 1960 it was really all about the Classics … with wins at Paris Roubaix, Ghent Wevelgem and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne & World Road Championships when Beheyt double crossed his team leader Rik Van Looy (nothing beats a good team scandal).. Supporting team members were Noel Fore, Walter Godefroot, Eric de Vlaeminck, Stan Ockers and Martin Van den Bossche.
Wiels Groen Leeuw - Benoni Beheyt “steals” the 1963 World Road Race Championship in Belgium (at Ronse) from his Belgian team mate ! ! ! …. the scandal still lives on
