Marc-Wickes-Euro Shop-Euo Decor-Euro Soap Splendor Pro Cycling Team (Belgium) - 1979-89
Splendor was Belgian bikes and the glue that kept the whole train running from 1979 to 1989. Groupsets were Campagnolo. The major sponsors were numerous - Euro Decor, Euro Soap, Wickes, Euro Shop, Marc …. everybody was Euro of some sort … and finally Hitachi from 1985 to 1989 (when jersey design flipped to a strong orange).
A group of hard men who preferred hard work in lycra than maybe a Belgian factory somewhere in deep darkest Flanders. Team victories from 1979 to 1984 were stage victories at the Tour of Spain & France plus several one day races (mostly in Belgium). The hard core team members included Sean Kelly, Planckaert Brothers, Michel Pollentier, Rudy Matthijs, Claude Criqielion & Etienne De Wilde.
