Mars Gazelle Continental Team (Netherlands) - 1966-71

Mars was confectionary and Gazelle were the Dutch bikes. A mid range Dutch “amateur” team that in many ways reflected the highly professional nature of Dutch cycling in the 1970’s. Amateurs (maybe not) and they won numerous races across varied terrain.
