This figurine faithfully recreates the jersey worn by the Lejeune BP team throughout the 1977 season. Cast in zamak — a zinc alloy prized for its durability and the sharpness of its detail — it is hand-painted in France by skilled craftspeople who bring the same care and precision to every piece. Every brushstroke is deliberate, every detail refined to meet the standards of the most discerning collectors.
The 1977 season in the peloton
1977 stands out as a season of fierce rivalry at the very top of European professional cycling. At the Tour de France, Bernard Thévenet (Peugeot) successfully defended his yellow jersey, holding off the challenges of Hennie Kuiper and Lucien Van Impe in a closely fought battle through the mountain stages. The spring classics sparked passionate debate among fans and pundits alike. Amid this competitive, tightly packed peloton, the Lejeune BP team carried the flag for French cycling — representing the iconic domestic bicycle manufacturer alongside petroleum sponsor BP.
