RIP Rik Van Looy

[mjr]

Two-time world champ, founder of a cycling school, and pre-cannibal classics cannibal Rik Van Looy has died.

There's a nice retrospective at https://inrng.com/2024/12/henri-rik...=rss&utm_campaign=henri-rik-van-looy-obituary

Just read about this in the I, and was going to post in the cafe before deciding to check here first.

No doubting he was a good rider, but one paragraph in the article...

"First he went to see a doctor, Dries Claes, who offered support and coaching"

Must have been some "support" !
