SEFB Peugeot Pro Cycling Team (Belgium) - 1987-91

A span of five years with the SEFB Savings Bank (Belgium) as the major sponsor. Bike sponsors were Moser, Peugeot, Daccordi and finally LOOK. Team manager was the legendary Ferdi Bracke.

Team results were patchy notwithstanding some exceptional team riders - Johan Devos (sprinter), Danny De Bie (cyclo cross), Rene Martens (won Tour of Flanders with the DAF team), Johan Bruynell (Mr Fixit), Dirk Heirweg (sprinter), Paul Haghedooran (future Belge champion at Lotto) and Andrei Tchmil (future Paris Roubaix winner again at Lotto).

SEFB Peugeot Pro Cycling Team (Belgium) - Johan Bruynell also rode for ONCE and perhaps better known as the Sports Director at US Postal
