Legends of Cross, Albert Zweifel

From one Albert to another, this week we take a look at Albert Zweifel. The Swiss five time cyclocross World Champion and a man who's career covers almost every major moment in "historic" cyclocross. Including a record Tour de Suisse appearances, the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France. But also racing against Eric de Vlaeminck, Roland Liboton and even Adrie Van der Poel and Danny de Bie. Zweifel did it all.

In the UCI Nations Ranking is Switzerland still in 3rd place.

15:52. He looks remarkably like Tom Meusen!

So much so that methinks Tom's mom has some 'splainin to do! Remember, they share more than just looks.

The Swiss are still successful in off road cycling; it just happens now to be in XC MTB, and not Cross.

Yeah, started back in the 90s with Thomas Frischknecht during the MTB boom. It's kind of a shame imo, I'd love to see what Schurter or Fluckiger could do in cross. It's not like they've got huge commitments during the winter.

@7 7 Peter ist the father of Thomas.
