Marc Superia Pro Cycling Team (Belgium) - 1978-80
A typical Belgian semi Classics team with a load of super talent. Marc (furniture) and Superia (the bikes) and a real pity they only lasted 3 years. In the last year none other than Patrick Lefevere (of Mapei & Quick Step fame) was both a rider and a manager.
The team had a broad brush on the road, the track & cyclocross. The team rode the 1980 Tour de France (with Lucien Van Impe), road classics with Ferdi Van Der Haute, Marc Dierickx, Frank Hoste, Herman Van Springel, and on the track they had the legendary Patrick Sercu, Gary Wiggins & Danny Clark, whilst at cyclocross it was Eric De Vlaeminck & Roland Liboton. This was a very talented lot.
