Gitane-Campagnolo 1975 - Lucien Van Impe polka dot jersey - cycling figurine

Lucien Van Impe stands among the greatest pure climbers cycling has ever produced — a rider who seemed to float uphill while others suffered. This zamak figurine captures him in the iconic polka dot jersey of the 1975 season, faithfully rendered in full Gitane-Campagnolo livery.

The 1975 Tour de France is one of the landmark editions of the sport's modern era. Van Impe was the undisputed master of the mountains that summer, claiming the King of the Mountains title with a series of breathtaking performances in the high cols — the kind of climbing that only a true grimpeur could produce. But that Tour carries an even greater legend: Bernard Thévenet's stunning defeat of Eddy Merckx, ending the Cannibal's reign in a battle that burned all the way to the final summit finishes. Van Impe was at the heart of every mountain battle, tirelessly animated, one of the great animators of that unforgettable race.

Made in France in small production runs, this figurine is cast in zamak — a zinc alloy prized for its crisp detail and durability — then individually hand-painted to faithfully reproduce the authentic jersey worn that season. Every colour, every detail is rendered with the precision that defines the entire collection, built for those who take their cycling history seriously.
