Formed in June 09, Here Come the Belgians is a non-elite anti-team celebrating all things cross, cobbled and Belgian.
Seeking a different experience to the traditional cycling club, its aim is to harness the energy of a vibrant internet cycling community with grass roots racing and riding based around Cyclocross and Spring Classics. There is no race programme in the style of a racing team, more a collection of individual experiences through rides and racing, in whatever location a member may be, that all can share in and contribute toward.

Here we come.....

Yesterday Carl Nelson and myself had our first 'proper' 'Belgians outing in our new kit a the Lady of the Manor 'Cross race, near St Helens. Both of us were, I guess, quite pleased with our performances - but not half as pleased as we were with out new kit. Here is a shot taken of us - Carl on the left - just before we went to the start and here are a few more pics of my and my family at the event (including my budding, soon to be a 'Belgian, son Angus aged 8) at the event. Here we come Belgians....Phil Haygarth

  1. Quite the sartorial duo. You stand out a mile on the race vid in the strip. I can feel the 'biggest team' prize in the Peaks in the bag with you 2 and all the others on board now.

  2. Great look guys. A bit of mud finishes the look off nicely.
