AD Renting was a Belgian professional cycling team that existed from 1987 to 1989. Its main sponsor was a Belgian car rental company owned by the Bruges businessman François Lambert .
history
The team was founded in 1987 by Wilfried Reybrouck on the basis of the Fangio – Lois team . In the first year only four wins could be achieved. There were also second places at Paris-Roubaix , Le Samyn and Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen .
In 1988 the two monuments Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix could be won as well as the Grote Prijs Briek Schotte , which was Johan Museeuw's first professional victory .
In 1989, Greg Lemond, a driver who had not raced at top level after his hunting accident in 1987, was brought into the team. The sporting bet paid off for the team as well as for Lemond. He won the Tour de France in 1989 with an 8-second lead, the narrowest lead of the winner in the Tour de France, on second-placed Laurent Fignon . At the road world championships in Chambery , Lemond won the world title after a furious end in a sprint of a larger group. At the end of the 1989 season, the team was disbanded.
