Eddy Merckx (Molteni) …. you know you’re famous when there is a dedicated “De Molteni’s” rock band playing some chessy Belgian tunes
De Molteni’s Band …. the Molteni bidon (on the right) is a nice touch ! …. the music is cheesy and pretty average but you gotta love the Molteni dress sense
Booralie Rd Terrey Hills - if you’re cycling along Booralie Rd then be alert, be aware as the “trenches of death” awaits you …. the little treasures are everywhere.

La William Pro Cycling Team (Belgium) - 1989-93
Fast food & beer was the currency of choice - La William did cooking sauces, Duvel the Belgian beer and Saltos the snacks. Team bikes were Chesini & Campagnolo the groupsets.
You know you have a team performance problem when the 1993 team managers (in Frank Hoste & Rudy Pevenage) were more famous for their own personal racing histories than the teams actual race results (it was difficult to really find out what they actually did). Beyond Frank Hoste, Luc Colijn (both past their best), Ludo Giesberts and Stan Tourne it was a struggle. The sponsors may have been fast (food) but not so the team.
Frank Hoste going for the Green jersey at the 1985 Tour de France. Sean Kelly is second.
Hoste rotated through numerous pro teams be it Tulip, ADR, Fagor, Marc, Europ Decor (pictured above beating Sean Kelly), Del Tongo & finally La William
The La William team featured the Chesini frameset in 1992 with the then innovative rear frame triangle (high set on the seat post). Luc Colijn is now a coach at the Eddy Merckx-Ghent Velodrome in Belgium
