Vermarc founder Frans Verbeek battles with Eddy Merckx on the cobbled climbs of the Flanders region
Of course, a Vermarc cobbled retrospective would be remiss to not include this shot of Vermarc founder Frans Verbeek going head to head with Eddy Merckx on the cobbled climbs of the Flanders region. We're not sure who took this photo and at exactly which race it is, but we love it nonetheless.

The next year it was his team mate Johan Museeuw who would win The Hell of the North in "somewhat" drier conditions. At least you can se the Vermarc logo on his shorts.
