Tribute to Patrick Lefevere — E3 Saxo Classic
An iconic moment above Harelbeke!
Yesterday, we transported Patrick Lefevere, the Godfather of cycling, in style by helicopter to the E3 Saxo Classic in Harelbeke.
There, he received a fitting tribute: one for every victory as team manager at E3. Each bottle engraved with the name of a winner: from Tom Boonen’s five victories to Kasper Asgreen’s win in 2021.
A memorable stunt and a tribute to his impressive career. Thank you, Patrick Lefevere, for all those unforgettable cycling moments!👏
