This figurine faithfully captures the jersey worn by De Kova Lejeune in the professional peloton during the 1973 season. Handcrafted in France in a limited run, it is cast in zamak, a zinc alloy prized for its durability and the sharpness of detail it allows. Each figurine is then hand-painted, giving it that artisan finish that serious collectors look for.
The 1973 season stands as one of the great chapters in professional road racing. That year's Tour de France delivered one of the most commanding performances in the race's history, as Luis Ocaña — riding in Eddy Merckx's absence — stormed to a dominant stage-race victory. Merckx himself swept the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España, cementing his status as the sport's undisputed champion. On the cobbles and mountain roads alike, Belgian squads like De Kova Lejeune were a vital force in a fiercely competitive peloton, shaped by the rivalry between an exceptional generation of riders.
