Tönissteiner-TW Rock-BASF-Humo 1985 - cycling figurine

This hand-painted zamak cycling figurine — cast in a high-quality zinc alloy and finished by hand in France — immortalises the race jersey of Tönissteiner-TW Rock-BASF-Humo as it was worn in the professional peloton throughout the 1985 season.

Each piece is produced in a small limited run, with the attention to detail that defines this collection: the precision of the zamak casting, the craft of the hand-applied paint, and the faithful reproduction of the period jersey make this a genuine collector's item — far more than a decorative figurine.

1985 — A season that defined an era. The 1985 racing season stands as one of the great chapters in professional European cycling. At the Tour de France, Bernard Hinault (La Vie Claire) claimed his fifth and final yellow jersey, in a race already charged with the emerging rivalry between the Badger and his young American team-mate Greg LeMond. Across the spring classics and stage races, the peloton was packed with talent — Belgian and Germanic squads dominating the northern cobbles and multi-day stage races alike. It was in this context that Tönissteiner-TW Rock-BASF-Humo — a team whose sponsors reflected the deep ties between professional cycling, Rhenish industry and Belgian trade — competed on the international circuit.
