Johan Museeuw

Belgian cycling legend and three-time Paris-Roubaix champion known as 'The Lion of Flanders' whose ruthless racing style and iconic Classics victories established him as one of the most dominant classic riders of his era.

Johan Museeuw is the 'Lion of Flanders', a Belgian legend who won three Paris-Roubaix and three Tour of Flanders titles, cementing his status as the greatest Classics rider of the 1990s. His exceptional power over cobblestones and tactical intelligence produced dominant performances in the hardest one-day races. His courageous return from a horrific knee injury — caused by a crash at Paris-Roubaix involving a crash into a cow pasture — is one of cycling's most inspiring stories.
