Sure everyone's heard about Freddy Martens, Marc de Mayer, Walter Goodefroot and their names have gone down as legends in the cycling world while they were riding for Flandria. But did you know Flandria was the first big team to ride Shimano?
In 1973 the Japanese component manufacturer Shimano was keen to get into the European market but had achieved little success. The component market was pretty much owned by Italian and French manufacturers, so the idea of a Japanese manufacturer equipping professional bikes was considered laughable at the time.

Flandria already had a reputation as a progressive and forward thinking team willing to test new ideas so they struck a deal with Shimano. Their riders gave feedback and suggestions for improvement to Shimano while the Japanese company would develop a completely new set of components specifically for the Flandria team- And so the Dura Ace groupset was born. Not a lot of people know that.

Dominant during the early season classics the team had the great Belgian and Italian classic specialists of the 1990s such as Andrea Tafi, Johan Museeuw, Michele Bartoli, Franco Ballerini under the guidance of Patrick Lefevre as directeur sportif and then manager. The team won Paris-Roubaix five times. Three times the team even had three riders in the first three places. In the 1996 edition, the sprint for the line was decided 10 miles from the finish when Directeur sportif Patrick Lefevere who was following the race in the team car talked with the owner of Mapei, Giorgio Squinzi, in Milan who said that Museeuw was to win the race. Gianluca Bortolami was second while Andrea Tafi was third. In 1998 Franco Ballerini won the race with over four minutes ahead of his two teammates Tafi and Wilfried Peeters and in 1999 Tafi won with an advantage of two minutes over teammates Peeters and Tom Steels. In the summer of 2000, Lefevre announced that the Belgian part of the Mapei team would be leaving the team to form a new team called Domo-Farm Frites which had Museeuw as team captain. As a result, there was an intense rivalry between the two teams.

The official names of the team changed depending as to what other co -sponsors were onboard. The team was known under the following names: Mapei (1993) Mapei-Clas , Mapei-GB (Not related to the united kingdom!), Mapei-Bricobi and finally Mapei-Quickstep.

Mapei was less dominating in the Grand Tours such as France, Spain and Italy. The only true stage race specialist was Tony Rominger, who won the 1994 Vuelta a España and the 1995 Giro d'Italia for the team. As Rominger focused on the Tour de France in 1996, Abraham Olano was given the leadership role at the Giro d'Italia in 1996. Olano took the maglia rosa but lost it in the mountains and during the Tour, Rominger lost time in the mountains. In latter years Paolo Bettini was Lefevre's most notable rider but in the end he had to settle as a one day specialist as well.

Owned by famous French industrialist Bernard Tapie they expanded into other markets which included high performance cycle sport.

Clipless pedals had already made an appearance in 1971 with Cinelli's M71 which was based around a plastic cleat that slid into the pedal and was held in place by a small lever which had to be manually released. These pedals (similar to the later Addidas System 3) became known as the 'death cleats'  due to their inherent danger on the road when a rider was faced with an emergeny dismount scenario.

Look took this idea of a rider being connected to the bike but enhanced it in 1983 bringing out the first quick release clipless pedal. Known in France as 'pedale automatique' they borrowed ideas from Look's successful ski bindings and were quickly accepted by the professional peloton to the extent that Bernard Hinault used them when he won the Tour de France while riding for Tapie's La Vie Claire team using in 1985.

Look licenced their clipless pedal idea out to other manufacturers so that during the late 1980s and early 1990s component makers  such as Campagnolo had their own versions in each of their groupsets.

Shimano decided to design their own pedal quick release system to avoid paying royalties to Look and the SPD was born to which Look released an off road version of its pedal which was less successful due to the large plastic cleat not being suitable for running or walking sections and not being recessed.

In 2004 Look launched their new KEO range which offered users an even more refined riding experience. They now come in a variety of materials including aluminium alloy, plastic and carbon fibre. Titanium Look pedal axles are also available.

AYE!

When you look back through the historic footage at the era of the great classics and Tours what is it that adds to the ultra cool look of the day? Is it the brake cables coming out of the levers and on display at the front of the bars? Is it the downtube gear shifters? The toeclips and straps? The fact that you can see the pain on the riders faces without them being obscured by large wraparound sunglasses or the incredibly stylish small peaked cycling cap that just about every other rider seems to be wearing?

Whether its on backwards with the peak down, backwards with the peak up, forwards peak up or down or under an old style banana crash hat the iconic retro cycling cap is the one piece of clothing that immediately says “bike racer”.

With the advent of the polystyrene helmet becoming mandatory in UCI sanctioned racing the cloth cycling cap became seen less and less. Teams would still take boxes of them out on the road for their riders to wear under their helmets if they wanted or for PR shoots in the start village or even to give to lucky fans who tried their luck but on the whole they would be seen less. Which makes it all the more interesting that the retro cloth cycling cap is now such a sought after fashion item, especially since the uber cool fixie surge. If you can get hold of an old team issue from the 70s or 80s you’ll be wearing your love of bikes for everyone to see and emulating the greats such as Moser, Merckx and Roche. Retro cycling caps are an inexpensive and stylish way to get the artwork and panache that was originally seen only on the racers team jerseys and to be able to mix and match with your ordinary going out clothes as a powerful fashion statement.

He rode with a  great talent and class and always demonstrated a  pure and rare elegance.  He was al considered ccasionally fragile, thereby capable of alternating prestigious wins with periods of obscurity. Considered one of the last older racers who could compete at the highest levels both in the classic one-day stage race and three weeks grand tours , and to win time trials, mountain stages and reach a final sprint, participating increasingly in all major Cycle races of the season. He even experimented with good results in six days track events during the winter cementing his place as an all rounder.

Bugno showed great promise as an amateur, with victory in the prestigious GP Liberation in 1985 and then becoming professional in the the same year, achieving 72 victories.

He now works for the Italian television station RAI piloting their helicopter to film the Giro d'Italia.

An English speaking rider who transcended the cycling world and drifted into popular culture. He won the 1983 world championship on the road, having won the silver medal the previous year making him one of the youngest winners ever of the event.

Lemondgot third in the Tour de France of 1984, he was second in the Tour in 1985 where he saved the yellow jersey of the leader Bernard Hinault (troubled following his fall at Saint-Etienne), even to sacrifice his personal ambitions. It is the first non-European and the first American winner of the Tour de France in 1986 after a fratricidal duel with the ambiguous and tough Bernard Hinault.

In spring 1987, a hunting accident where he was accidentally shot by his brother-in-law nearly ended his life and kept him away from cycling for two years,leaving him with 37 pellets in his body for the rest of his life.

After 2 years of mixed performance in 1989, he again won the Tour de France by taking the advantage in extremis Laurent Fignon: both men were virtually tied in time for most of the race, the yellow jersey alternately passing on the shoulders of one then the other. Before the last stage, one runs against the clock to only 24.5 km, LeMond has fifty seconds behind the Frenchman Fignon. He came in ahead by the famous 8 seconds, which is still the smallest gap ever recorded in a large tour between the winner and the second placed rider.
The same year he again won the world championship road in Chambery, after a decisive attack against ... Laurent Fignon.

The following year, LeMond won again in the Tour de France by beating Claudio Chiappucci of Italy by 2'16, taking the yellow jersey at the last time trial against the clock. This victory caused controversy since LeMond won by elimination, not by domination (all the favorites collapse) and the American., too busy to catch up on opportunistic Chiapucci (10 minutes gleaned from the 1st stage) did not actually win any stages.

In 1991, he finished over 13 minutes behind Miguel Indurain. He later said to have had the feeling of not being able to express himself fully on the end of his career because of competition from riders doped with EPO product which then made its appearance in the peloton . He is the sole winner of the Tour since 1947 to have never been involved in a doping case.

Greg LeMond also brought some of the innovations most used today: he introduced thetriathlete handlebar and aero helmet and he popularized sunglasses designed specifically for cycling.

Unlike previous winners of the Tour de France, LeMond was the first to base its season just around this event. He was followed later by the eventual winners of the Tour, such as Miguel Indurain, Jan Ullrich and Lance Armstrong. However, relativisons noting that it proceeded in this manner until 1990 following his success in the Tour de France 1989 Giro after a mediocre (39th).

Greg LeMond has a good popularity among the French public despite his victories over Bernard Hinault and Laurent Fignon, the last two French winners of the Tour de France. His naivety in the race and his outspokenness may be the cause of his strained relationship with Jonathan Boyer, Bernard Hinault, Laurent Fignon, Claudio Chiappucci or recently Lance Armstrong, with whom he distanced himself after the publication of the book LA Confidential . About His criticism of the seven-time Tour de France lead the company that sells Trek bikes bearing his name to file a court application to terminate the commercial contract between them which was a great pity as Lemond bikes were very highly, much like Greg was as a rider.

He began his professional career in 1982 after taking more than 50 wins in the amateur ranks. He amazingly won the Tour de France in 1983 during his first attempt, then in 1984 when he beat Bernard Hinault on the back. Fignon spent eleven years riding as a professional during which he won a total of 81 races including the Fleche Wallonne in 1986, Milan-San Remo in 1988 and 89 (the Italians have awarded him the title of "professore" for his double), the Giro in 1989 (2nd in 84) and the Grand Prix des Nations the same year. Finally, he achieved the No. 1 professional cyclist UCI World Ranking following his fantastic 1989 season.

In the eyes of many english speaking fans he remains probably most famous for having lost the Tour de France in 1989 to Greg LeMond in the final stage timetrial between Versailles and Paris for 8 "small" seconds after over 3 000 km of racing. With his flowing pony tail and exposed shoe laces he gave Lemond the chance he needed to take the yellow jersey with the aid of an aero helmet and aerodynamic triathlon handlebars.

His career was marred by two positive doping tests for amphetamines in 1987 at the Grand Prix of Wallonia and in the 1989 Grand Prix Eindhoven.

At the end of his sporting career, Fignon launched a company organizing cycling events. It has included, through the "Laurent Fignon Organization" the Paris-Nice in 2000 and 2001, before selling the rights to Amaury Sport Organization, the organisers of the Tour de France.

The brand name "Laurent Fignon is owned by Auchan, which markets bicycles under that marque. Fignon was subsequently a consultant for a very long time on Eurosport France.

He revealed in an interview with the TV show "from 7 to 8" on June 14, 2009 on TF1 that he suffers from an "advanced cancer" of the pancreas, but did not know if this can be linked to taking performance-enhancing drugs that it took, as everyone says he, throughout his sporting career.

During his sporting career, he was considered the "intellectual" of the bunch, because of his glasses and the fact that he was one of the few holders in the peloton of the baccalaureate.
