Briek Schotte
A true monument in the sport of cycling, Briek Schotte was part of the generation of soldiers for which the statue in Kanegem of Flandrians who fought in World War II pays homage. Briek was two-time World Champion. He also won two Tours of Flanders, two editions of Gent-Wevelgem, Paris-Brussels, and Paris-Tours. 1948 was his year of grace in which he finished second in the Tour de France and was awarded the Desgrange-Colombo Trophy. http://www.famousbelgians.net/schotte.htm http://www.rvv.be/eng/historiek/briek.html http://www.rvv.be/fotos/briek1.jpg http://www.rvv.be/fotos/briek2.jpg |
