No Spring Classic Without Breakaway King Victor Vercouillie (23): “Incredible how many people were shouting my name on the Oude Kwaremont”
Between the Monuments of cycling — the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix — Victor Vercouillie (23) of Team Flanders-Baloise made time to speak with us about his remarkable spring campaign. The peloton’s undisputed breakaway king also went on the attack during In Flanders Fields and the Tour of Flanders, doing so aboard our brand-new 525R bike. While Victor battles to make the early break, his father Kristof is fighting incurable colon cancer. That story has also touched the wider public and gives Victor added strength: “The massive support gave me goosebumps.”
