Year: 1984

Manufacturer: Santini

Associated Bike Brand: Eddy Merckx Cycles

Although Gerrie Knetemann (GP Pino Cerami) and Alfons "Fons" De Wolf (Tour de France Stage 14, Tour de Romandie Stage 1) won some great races in 1984, Frank Hoste taking 3 stages and the green points jersey in the 1984 Tour de France was certainly the highlight of this Belgian team.

The jersey itself is made up using various manufacturing techniques including the use of multiple panels, flock lettering and sewn on badges.

There is also an Eddy Merckx fabric label on the inside of the jersey too!
