EDDY VERBUST ... the GHENT 6 DAY Grand Patron
Eddy Verbust has kindly hosted & assisted several BiciSport riders in Belgium in recent years, and those lucky enough to go the Belgian Spring Classics in 2017 will be rewarded with a trip to the private Verbust Museum in De Pinte. Eddy remains the grand patron of the Ghent 6 Day as the Cavendish-Wiggins finish line picture attests.
