Fangio, later known as AD Renting and Tulip Computers, was a Belgian professional cycling team that existed from 1975 to 1992.[3]

The team competed after 1979 through to the 1986 Vuelta a España, but did not have any wins. It was succeeded by the AD Renting team.[4][5] AD Renting (All-Drie Renting), often simply called ADR, existed from 1987 to 1989.[6][7][8]

Tulip Computers existed from 1990 to 1992.[9][10] Its main sponsor was Dutch computer manufacturer Tulip Computers.[11] This team should not be confused with the Spanish cycling team sponsored by Tulip Computers in 1990.[12]

Tour de France

Despite its short history as AD Renting and lack of funds,[13] the team was very successful in the Tour de France. Eddy Planckaert won the points classification in 1988[14] to go with the victory he achieved in the highly regarded monument the Tour of Flanders earlier that year.[15] In that same spring campaign, Dirk Demol won the Paris–Roubaix after a breakaway of 222 kilometers.[16]

The biggest success was when Greg LeMond, a new signing, won the 1989 Tour de France with the team, taking three stage victories in the process.[17]

Sponsors

Koga Miyata was the team's 1991–1992 subsponsor. The bicycle manufacterer from Heerenveen had previously sponsored IJsboerke and Capri Sonne. It also sponsored an amateur team, which would be a good development team for the professionals.[18]
