This narrow 2.4 km run through the Arenberg forest was ‘found’ by Jean Stablinski, a professional rider who had worked in the mine that lies below the woods. It was first used in 1968, but was banned from 1974 to 1983 by the National Office of Forestry. Although almost 100 km from Roubaix, it usually proves to be pivotal; as Stablinski observed, “Paris-Roubaix is not won in Arenberg, but from there the group with the winners is selected.” Until 1998, the entry to the Arenberg pavé was slightly downhill, causing a sprint to get the best position. After Johan Museeuw’s crash in 1998 as World Cup leader – which nearly caused him to lose his leg to gangrene – the route was reversed to reduce the speed of the peloton as it entered the forest. By 2005, the abandoned mine (it closed in 1990) had caused sections of the road to sink, and the Arenberg was omitted from the parcours , as race organisers judged conditions had deteriorated beyond safe limits. Following repairs to restore the original width of three meters, it was added back to the race route the next year. “Monsieur Paris -Roubaix ” In the 112-year history of the race, one rider showed such mastery of the cobbles that he was given the title of “Monsieur Paris-Roubaix.” In 14 starts from 1969-83, Belgium’s Roger DeVlaeminck recorded 4 wins, 3 seconds, 1 third, and 4 other top-10 placings – a record unmatched even by the great Eddy Merckx. He abandoned only once, in 1980. DeVlaeminck’s skill as a cyclocross rider – he was amateur world champion in 1968 and pro champion in 1975 – made him expert on the pavé of northern France, as well as the other cobbled classics. De Vlaeminck used the early-season Tirreno- Adriatico stage race as training for the Spring Classics and dominated that race too, with six overall victories and fifteen stage wins between 1972 and 1977.

  • CYCLING LEGENDS Autoworld in Het Thema Van De Tour De France!
    Persbericht Van 20 juni tot 25 augustus 2019 Autoworld - Brussel Stelt voor CYCLING LEGENDS Autoworld in het thema van de Tour de France! Deze zomer maken we een bijzonder moment mee: de Ronde van Frankrijk vertrekt dit jaar in Brussel! Om dit te vieren, organiseert Autoworld naast de expo over het honderdjarige bestaan van het merk Citroën, een unieke terugblik, waar u alles komt te weten over de geschiedenis van het wielrennen en zijn legenden, van het prille begin in 1819 tot nu. Wist je trouwens dat de hal van het jubelpark, waarin Autoworld nu gehuisvest is, in 1902 het toneel was voor het Auto – en fietssalon? Een ongewone tentoonstelling Omdat de Ronde van Frankrijk dit jaar in Brussel vertrekt, denken we ook terug aan de eerste zege van de grootste wielerkampioen aller tijden: Eddy Merckx. Wist u trouwens dat de gele trui dit jaar ook 100 jaar bestaat? Wat alles extra magisch maakt, is het feit dat Eddy Merckx het record draagt voor de meeste dagen in het geel tijdens de Ronde van Frankrijk. Hij heeft de felbegeerde kleur maar liefst 96 dagen lang gedragen. Dit legendarische stukje wielergeschiedenis komt tot leven in de tentoonstelling 'Cycling Legends', die verdeeld is in drie hoofdthema's: * 200 jaar verhalen over de grootste kampioenen (1819 – 2019), * de galerie over het honderdjarige bestaan van de gele trui (1919 – 2019) * een deel dat exclusief gewijd is aan de grootste Belgische kampioenen (1919 – 2019). Bereid u alvast voor op een golf van emoties wanneer u de fietsen, uitrusting en trofeeën van tal van kampioenen met eigen ogen ziet, naast een collectie zeldzame oude posters, historische documenten en andere interessante stukken.

  • Comunicato Ufficiale
    SUPPORTO ORGANIZZATIVO SPONSOR UFFICIALE “MILANO-SANREMO” 18-19-20 marzo 2016 CLASSICISSIMA D’EPOCA riservata a bici da corsa ante anni 30 La Classicissima d’Epoca 2016 , da Milano a Sanremo con biciclette d’epoca, giunta alla sua 5° edizione , quest’anno vedrà la partenza della pedalata ludica in costume d’epoca dal MUMAC, Museo della Macchina per Caffè di Gruppo Cimbali , in Via Pablo Neruda 2, a Binasco (MI). L’iniziativa, organizzata grazie al coordinamento della Fondazione Museo del ciclismo Madonna del Ghisallo , prevede il ritrovo dei partecipanti nella giornata di venerdì 18 marzo al MUMAC che si popolerà di una cinquantina di pionieri e di biciclette rigorosamente ante anni trenta . Da lì la comitiva dei pionieri si porterà in Milano alla verifica accrediti della “Classicissima di Primavera” dove si terrà il rito della punzonatura. Verso le ore 18:00, le biciclette ritorneranno al MUMAC. Il Museo sarà uno spazio di eccellenza dedicato ad ospitare all’interno della propria Sala Temporanea una interessante ed originale mostra estemporanea, aperta al pubblico, dove i visitatori potranno ammirare cicli, bicicli e velocipedi unici nel loro genere , alcuni dei quali ultracentenari, circondati dai proprietari in vestiti consoni all’epoca di produzione di tali mezzi. L’esposizione rimarrà aperta al pubblico dalle 19.00 alle 23.00 e cioè fino al momento del via che verrà dato nel cuore della notte tra venerdì e sabato. I pedalatori partiranno in escursione individuale non competitiva fino a Sanremo dove è previsto l’arrivo alle ore 15:00. L’iniziativa è stata resa possibile grazie alla collaborazione organizzativa del Museo del Ciclismo Madonna del Ghisallo, struttura museale fortemente voluta dal campione Fiorenzo Magni sita in Magreglio (Como), di cui Gruppo Cimbali è sponsor, in virtù anche della storica presenza del brand FAEMA nel mondo del ciclismo che negli anni 60 ha dato origine a un connubio leggendario rimasto impresso nella memoria di più di una generazione grazie a campioni quali di Charly Gaul, Eddie Merckx, Vittorio Adorni e Rik Van Looy.
