Molteni 1973 - cycling figurine

A hand-painted zamak figurine reproducing the leader's jersey worn by Eddy Merckx at the 1973 Giro d'Italia with the Molteni team. Crafted in France in a limited series, in the artisan tradition that defines every piece in the Le Petit Cycliste collection.

The 1973 season stands as one of the most dominant campaigns in professional cycling history. The Cannibal claimed his fifth Giro d'Italia title, seizing the maglia rosa and never letting it go. What made that year truly extraordinary was Merckx going on to win the Tour de France in the very same season — completing the Giro–Tour double and leaving no doubt about his absolute supremacy over the peloton. Built entirely around its leader, the Molteni squad represented the pinnacle of Belgian cycling on the world stage.
