A holiday together with your friends from your student days, wonderful! That's what Epco and his student friends also found. Every year, they go on a week-long holiday to the historic village of Pressigny in France. This year, they decided to cycle the 'Tour de Pressigny' together and so discovered some beautiful places in this region!

A little while back we received a lovely message from Laurent, a real cycling fanatic and loyal fan of Eddy Merckx. He asked if he could order two shirts from us, because he had a Meet & Greet with the one and only Eddy Merckx.

Besides cycling fans who actually cycle, there are also cycling fans from the sidelines or sometimes even the sofa. And they can sometimes be one of the biggest fans... And our best example is Sjaak Roosenboom with his own mini cycling museum!  

We all experienced that Kuiper was a born cyclist in his 22-year career from 1966 to 1988. His first great achievement was in 1972, when he became Olympic Champion in Munich among the amateurs with an impressive lead throughout the race. In 1973 his cycling career took off and he won two stages: the second stage of the Tour de l'Aude and the cyclocross in Enschede.

This year it will be 50 years since the great Eddy Merckx won the Road World Cycling Championship for the second time. That's why we look back at these great victories in this blog. Eddy Merckx already surprised everyone in 1967 by taking home the rainbow jersey, but a few years later (in 1974) he was able to win this jersey again. In 1964 he also became World Champion with the amateurs.

This week, La Vuelta comes to an end. The cycling race that started small and grew into a big classic race, also called the little brother of the Tour and Giro, was ridden for the first time in 1935. That year, the Belgian Gustaaf DeLoor brought home the title and in 1936 Gustaaf also finished first. Gustaaf's older brother Alfons DeLoor came in second, so it was a great year for the DeLoor family!

We get several questions about the website Retro-Wielerkleding.nl. Until recently this was another website which was not managed by our team. Meanwhile this shop ceased to exist. Unfortunately we cannot answer questions about this shop, (current) orders and such. Also, if you want to return a shipment that you have placed through this site, it is not possible for us to handle this. If you have a question about a jersey that you ordered through this site - regarding a different size/version - we can of course check if we ourselves have it in stock.
