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.”

It’s a festive period at Team Flanders-Baloise.

The frame is finished in Chromacoat Red and features the original Eddy Merckx logo. Depending on the light, the colour reveals an intense red-purple glow, referring to the shade “Crimson”. This bike is available at a special promotional price until the end of February.

Dylan Vandenstorme shines with the Eddy Merckx Corsa Titanium at the UCI Gravel World Championships

Last Sunday, the Eddy Merckx Corsa Titanium attracted plenty of attention at the UCI Gravel World Championships, where Dylan Vandenstorme took on the world’s best. The idea came from our R&D manager, who proposed testing the bike in the most prestigious race of the season — a challenge the 23-year-old Team Flanders-Baloise rider gladly accepted. Dylan pushed through to finish 112th, joking afterwards that he wouldn’t mind keeping the bike.
