Domex - Weinmann Professional Cycling Team (Belgium) - 1989-91

Domex is better known in many countries as Domestos bleach used in everyday domestic cleaning. Weinmann sold cycling componentary and Eddy Merckx manufactured the bikes. Team management was the legendary duo of Walter Godefroot & the one the only Patrick Lefevere (now of Quick Step fame).

The team itself featured some classy individuals in Beat Breu (won a Tour of Switzerland), Carlo Bomans (pictured - Belgian National Road Champion), Johnny Dauwe (sprinter), Michel Dernies (classics), Maarten Ducrot (hard man), Thomas Wegmuller, and super star in Adrie Van Der Poel (father of … ). Besides Beat winning his home race in Switzerland they won several stages in the Tour de France and the team itself got cleaned out at the end of 1991.
