Fangio, later known as AD Renting and Tulip Computers, was a Belgian professional cycling team that existed from 1975 to 1992.[3]

The team competed after 1979 through to the 1986 Vuelta a España, but did not have any wins. It was succeeded by the AD Renting team.[4] [5] AD Renting (All-Drie Renting), often simply called ADR, existed from 1987 to 1989.[6] [7] [8]

Tulip Computers existed from 1990 to 1992.[9] [10] Its main sponsor was Dutch computer manufacturer Tulip Computers.[11] This team should not be confused with the Spanish cycling team sponsored by Tulip Computers in 1990.[12]

Tour de France

Despite its short history as AD Renting and lack of funds,[13] the team was very successful in the Tour de France. Eddy Planckaertwon the points classification in 1988[14] to go with the victory he achieved in the highly regarded monument the Tour of Flanders earlier that year.[15] In that same spring campaign, Dirk Demol won the Paris–Roubaix after a breakaway of 222 kilometers.[16]

The biggest success was when Greg LeMond, a new signing, won the 1989 Tour de France with the team, taking three stage victories in the process.[17]

Sponsors

Koga Miyata was the team's 1991–1992 subsponsor. The bicycle manufacterer from Heerenveen had previously sponsored IJsboerke and Capri Sonne. It also sponsored an amateur team, which would be a good development team for the professionals.[18]

Rosters

[19] [20]

As Tulip Compters the team was led by Director Sportif José De Cauwer. It had riders like Johan van der Velde, Frank Hoste, Fons de Wolf, Olaf Jentsch, Adri van der Poel and Allan Peiper. Manager Ludo Voeten, who was also manager of artists like Peter Koelewijn, Danny de Munk and Grant & Forsyth, represented Tulip Computers as general manager of the team.[21]
