It was once the title of a popular TV program with our northern neighbors. In contemporary cycling, there are also sons who follow in their father's footsteps. Well-known examples include David and Erik Dekker, Mathieu and Adrie van der Poel, Nicolas and Alexandre Vinokourov and Boy and Jean-Paul van Poppel.
