Francesco , quel champion ! 3 Paris Roubaix a la suite ... un exploit unique . Quand j étais petit , je voulais être Francesco m’oser et quand je fait du vélo , je prend souvent sa position , avec les bras a 90 ° . Je reviens à l enfance comme cela !
My Polhill clubmate Geoff Weightman (RIP) and I managed to infiltrate the "constructors" stand at Meerbeke that afternoon and were watching this on the TV screen. We were standing close to Briek Schotte, the long-time Flandria team boss, who'd been moved sideways and replaced by Lomme Driessens in the team car. The old ex-World Champion was shaking his head in disbelief (and perhaps a little schadenfreude?) as first Demeyer and then Freddy Maertens were beaten in the sprints for the win and for fourth place.
