RIP Herman Van Springel … an absolute class act
Herman Van Springel doing what he did best - chasing a Mann Grundig team derny in the Bordeaux Paris Classic over 600k. Herman won seven Bordeaux Paris Classics !
Vini Ricordi Pro Cycling Team (Italy) - 1982-86
Ricordi was wine, Pinarello the bikes, Club 88 was a hotel chain & SMS Santini did the clothing.
The team may have been Italian but the results were clearly Belgian with Johan Lammerts, Lucien Van Impe (Tour de France 1983 King of the Mountains) and Johan Van Der Velde (Tour of Italy 1985 Points Jersey). The rest combined didn’t win an Italian Chook Raffle.
The Vini Ricordi team was maybe more about the vino than the results
