Flandrien Hotel Jersey Men

The Flandrien Hotel cycling jersey is based upon the iconic design of the Peugeot-Michelin Cycling Team. “But why should a jersey designed in Flanders hark back to a French Team you might ask?” Because the Peugeot-Michelin Cycling Team was the first European pro outfit to bring in English speaking professionals en masse, with riders such as Tom Simpson, Rober Millar, Sean Yates, Stephen Roche, Phil Anderson and Allan Peiper racing for the squad – the very first generation of “international Flandrien.” So for anyone coming from countries such as Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the USA there is a very special connection with the black and white checks.
