Gero Van Looy Eurosol 1976 - cycling figurine

This zamak figurine faithfully reproduces the jersey worn by the Gero Van Looy Eurosol team in the professional peloton during the 1976 season. Cast in quality zinc alloy and hand-painted in France in a small limited run, it is made for collectors who rebuild the peloton team by team, season by season.

The 1976 season in the peloton. Professional cycling in 1976 was defined by a golden era of Belgian dominance: Lucien Van Impe claimed the yellow jersey on the roads of the Tour de France, while Freddy Maertens crowned himself world champion in Ostuni. Belgium ruled the cobbled classics and the great stage races, and Belgian squads formed the very backbone of the elite peloton. Gero Van Looy Eurosol was firmly part of that tradition — a team rooted in the deep cycling culture of a nation that lived and breathed the sport.

• Material: zamak (zinc alloy) — robust and finely detailed
