Exhibition: Cycling Around the World at KOERS

At the same time, the tenth edition of the magazine *Etappe* was also dedicated to this theme, featuring stories from all corners of the world. You’ll learn about races in Mongolia, Congo and Argentina, as well as intriguing stories from Afghanistan, America and Switzerland. Among other things, the magazine highlights cycling heroes from the early 20th century, such as the American Major Taylor. It also covers the 1986 Junior World Championships in Casablanca, Morocco. Our compatriots Bart Leysen (on the road) and Roxan Vande Velde (on the track) won a bronze medal there. Renato Hofmeister, who lives in our country and was the first Chilean to feature on the Paris–Roubaix roll of honour, tells his story, as does the Pole Waldemar Stephniowski, who, together with two compatriots, used a cycling race in Austria as an escape to freedom.

The exhibition can still be seen until the end of August at the museum, where the magazine *Etappe* is also available.
