RMO Professional Cycling Team (France) - 1986-92
RMO was a French employment agency (Relation Main d’Oeuvre), framsets were Meral Liberia (again French), groupsets were Mavic (French). Team management was Bernard Thevenet (won two Tours de France) and Jacques Michaud. Ironically RMO themselves went broke at the end of 1992 and put numerous team members out into the world of unemployment.
A team full of classy riders but victories were really not there, somehow it was lacking something. Yes, Thierry Claveyrolet won the Mountain Jersey at the 1990 Tour de France and Marc Madiot won the 1991 Paris Roubaix but …… . Other very good riders were Charly Mottet, Paul Sherwin, Michel Vermote, Bernard Vallet (won the Bordeaux Paris derny race), Jean Claude Colotti, Paul Kimmage (now a well regarded journalist), Pascal Lino and the aussie Clayton Stevenson.
